What a week it has been! Zero motivation to craft, issues, and stress have caused me to waste away the week sitting on the computer. And even here I haven't been able to seem to get anything done! My biggest accomplishment of the week was acquiring 5 new Disney movies, 2 of which are currently "in the vault". It's lots of fun reliving these through my son's eyes, though, and I have to admit I'm enjoying myself (maybe more than he is! lol)!
I did manage to get one card made earlier this week for today's new Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge. If you haven't heard, this is one of the last TPSC ever as Kellie has decided to shut down the challenge blog. It is a sad day and a tough decision for her, but the entire team supports her and will be here until the end of February. Today's theme is a color combination and boy, did I groan loudly when I saw it: blue, orange, yellow, and beige? Whaaa? For whatever reason it screams "1970s" to me, but I actually discovered that I own an adorable paper pad from My Mind's Eye called Fine and Dandy with just the colors I needed! Who knew? So I printed off Lil Birthday Pinkette Faith and got to work.
Ms Faith is colored mostly in Copics with a few Prismacolor Art Markers thrown in. She is fussy cut and mounted with foam squares on top of layers and layers of fun! That sketch is from The Sketchy Challenge (#16), and as soon as I saw it I knew it was a must try! They are also holding a DT call so I thought it might be a good time to try for something new. When one door closes, another one opens, right? Well, I can hope so anyway! Along with the MME designer paper, I've used kraft as my beige as well as Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, and Apricot Appeal card stock from Stampin' Up. A doily, a Tim Holtz adage ticket, some flowers and a few pearl flourishes complete the card. I have to say that I am quite pleased with how she turned out! Not bad for a color combo popular the decade I was born!
And speaking of birthdays.... This pretty miss went straight into the mail to my crafty friend and design team teammate, Kathy Curry! Kathy's delightful work can be seen on her blog, Will Stamp For Wine. Happy Birthday, Kathy, and I hope the card hits your mailbox before this post hits your news feed!
Markers used: Copics (E11, E21, E00, E23, E25, E27, R20, Y35, Y38, YR04, YR07) and Prismacolor Art Markers (143, 198).
I'd also like to enter this creation in the following challenges:
- Celebrate the Occasion: #49 - Anything Goes Birthday
- My Time to Craft: #172 - A is for Adorable
- Birthday Sundaes: #42 - Birthday Card with Sentiment
- The Lily Pad: Patterned Paper
Thanks for the visit and stop back this weekend for the much anticipated Sassy Studio Designs FAN-tastic February release!

Meet Lil Party Pinkette Pippa! She is the third image in the collection from Tickled Pink Stamps to help celebrate their 2nd birthday! Artist Stephanie Corfee has done an amazing job on these sweet, adorable Lil ladies! They are all dressed up and ready to party!
For my card I selected this month's sketch from Crafting Life's Pieces. Sketch 41 has lots of layers and it took me a bit to get it just so, but I think the results were worth the effort. I had a crafty play date last night with my friend Jasmine, and she helped select the lace and metal corner embellishments. *Thanks, Jas!* The card stock is Stampin' Up and the glitter papers are from the Deena's Penny Lane pad from My Mind's Eye. And no card is complete without a sprinkling of flowers and a spattering of pearls!
Please head over to the Tickled Pink Stamps blog to see what my lovely, charming, and talented team mates have whipped up for your viewing pleasure! And if you leave a comment there, you'll be entered in a drawing to win a digi version of Pippa for your own self! ;) So what are you waiting for...? Let's get this party started!

I'm back with another post as promised! This is to debut to you the FABULOUS new Lil Pinkette collection from Tickled Pink Stamps! There are FOUR brand new, gorgeous images to show you! Today is Day 1 of the previews, and I have Lil Party Pinkette Coraline to show you! Isn't she sweet in her poufy party dress, holding her balloon!? It's October, and I'm still in Halloween mode so I decided it was a Halloween birthday party she is attending. I colored her up with my Copics and Prismacolor Art Markers, using shades of orange and black/gray for her dress. The papers are Stampin' Up and a spook-tacular matstack from DCWV called Ghosts & Goblins. Details include some satin ribbon embellished with a vintage looking button and baker's twine, a creep-tastic flower arrangement, and a bit of black rhinestone bling. The spider web border was made using a Martha Stewart punch. The sketch is from Mojo Monday, (#209) and I've rotated it to accommodate my image.
My card is also for this week's Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge! The theme this week is #40 - ANYTHING GOES! The only requirement is that you use a Tickled Pink Stamps image to participate. These include the following collection found in the TPS online store: Lil Lolitas and Lil Lads, Lil Pinkettes, Pink Pets, and Cherrie.
I'd also like to enter this in the current Digital Tuesday Challenge, which is "We Like To Party". They want to see you link up creations for any kind of celebration (birthday, anniversary, wedding, holiday). The only other requirement is that you use a digital element. My image is the digi version.
So please make a visit to both the Tickled Pink Stamps blog and the TPSC blog to see what my teamies have dreamed up for the preview and for the challenge! I am on two teams that are just bursting with creativity and talent so you won't want to miss a single gorgeous creation from these {PINK} ladies!
Thanks again for stopping by and hope you have a fabulous day!
