Welcome to another Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge! This week challenge # 21 is to use 3 designer papers on your project. I picked the dots, stripes, & plaids stack from DCWV for my paper. SSS109 from The Sweet Stop provided my layout. And this week it's a sketch with a spin: to make it masculine! I think I've managed to meet that criteria. The card is for one of my co-workers to give her son, who is turning 13 this weekend and eagerly awaiting the event. He has been counting down for weeks she tells me! lol He loves what most teenage boys do - video games, girls, facebook, sports, and music! So I chose Lil Fox Emilio for my image with his hip scarf and ipod in hand, um, paw. The number stickers look like varsity letters which represent his love of sports as well.
It has been a rough week here.... Little to no crafting has been accomplished. This is only the 2nd card I've made this week. I came down with a mild late Spring cold which has really knocked me for loop and even worse, my poor son caught it from me and had a fever of 102 yesterday! I have been home from work for two days and it's been sunny and 80 degrees... just gorgeous outside! And we've been inside on the couch. A sick toddler does not a relaxing day off make! Oh, well. I'm happy to be able to take care of him myself when he doesn't feel well. And even though he is sick, it's still quality time spent with my small man! He is still sleeping (we were up late because he couldn't sleep). His fever finally broke, though, and I'm hoping this means he's recharging so he'll be full of smiles and playfulness like the sweet boy he usually is!
Hope you are all having a good week! Thanks for stopping by!

It's Sunday and that means there's plenty to be excited about! First, the world didn't end yesterday as predicted! Phew... That means I can go on crafting! And enjoying all the other things in life that make me happy... We all know #1 on that list would be my son, but sweet treats are ranked fairly high as well! lol And that ties in nicely with the theme of this week's Corrosive Challenge - Cupcakes! Simply use the delicious confection somewhere on your project to qualify for the prize from Queen Kat Stamps and to be in the running for guest designer.
I remembered that I had this sweet, but toxic Halloween cupcake stamp from Impression Obsession that had never been inked up. Since Halloween is my favorite holiday, I decided it wasn't too early to make a card for the occasion. The image actually contains three cupcakes, each with a different creepy topping, but due to size constraints I opted to use just one. My sketch is courtesy of Sketch Saturday (SS156).
It has been a busy, on-the-go weekend here.... And it looks like the trend will continue right through this coming week. This morning, for instance, I have to make a card and bake oatmeal chocolate chip cookies before we head off to a graduation party. I'll need to get moving and start my day soon, but I wanted to thank you for stopping by! Enjoy!

I'm back with your new Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge and this week it's DISTRESSING! Now don't fret... I didn't mean the challenge will upset you (Though it may, if you're like me and cringe every time you crumple, rip, tear, and otherwise maul perfectly good card stock and designer paper! lol)! We simply want to see a distressed look on your creation. That may mean tearing some paper, inking it up, sanding down an embellishment or any other type of distressing that you can dream up. All are acceptable.
I have used a combination of techniques on my card. I haven't crafted in 5 days and have
b
een feeling a bit blue. This whole projected ended up being one big therapy session for me and it felt good to channel my feeling into something creative! I used Lil Valentine Lilith as my image. I love that look on her face! I've been there, and I felt a kinship with her. She was printed on white card stock and colored with Copics and Prismacolor markers. I inked the edges of my card base with Vintage Photo Distress Ink from Tim Holtz. I love that man and his crafting supplies! My next layer of purple card stock was cut with deckle scissors around the edges, run through my Cuttlebug in a 5x7 embossing folder and then sanded. The black and white designer paper was ripped and the edges also inked with Vintage Photo. My final layer is Kraft on which I printed a poem of unrequited love by Lord Byron entitled When We Two Parted. I misted the card stock with water, crumpled it, ripped the edges, sponged the edges with Vintage Photo and the surface with Old Paper Distressing Ink. After that, all that was left was to add my embellishments. I distressed the adage tickets as well. My layout started out as this week's Mojo Monday sketch (#191), but once I got started it sort of took on a life of it's own, and I ended up deviating from the sketch slightly.
Thanks for looking, and I hope you'll leave me a comment to let me know what you think! I am hoping each day gets brighter for me, at least metaphorically anyway since it's been raining for days and the trend is forecast to continue through the weekend. Enjoy YOUR day and happy crafting!

Welcome to another Sassy Studio Designs Dare To Be Sassy Thursday! Today's challenge (#73) is a recipe one... We would like you to use the following "ingredients" on your card: 3 designer papers, 2 buttons, twine. This card was a special request from one of my co-workers. She is involved in the pageant world and has a friend competing that she wanted to wish good luck to. I immediately thought of this SSD image, called Crissy's Prom. I paper pieced her gown and used two other coordinating designer papers behind my image. The buttons are bling from Bazzill, and I threaded some twine through them as well as through the Ribbon Tag Nestie that I stamped my sentiment on. I couldn't resist adding a flower and some pearls as well. My layout is last week's sketch from Card Positioning Systems (CPS217).
If you'd like to play along, all you have to do is whip up a project based on the recipe and post it here before next Wednesday evening. The winner gets to select 2 SSD images of their choice! Also, be sure to check out our Sassy Christmas Challenge #2 - Santa Baby on the SSD blog and our bi-weekly challenge over at our Paper Craft Planet SSD group. The more you play, the greater your chances of winning are!
I'll be back in a bit with the new Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge for this week! Thursdays sure are busy around here these days! :) Thanks for looking and hope you'll stop by again soon!

Hello, fellow crafty bloggers! It's good to be back up and running after the crazy week of technical difficulties! It's Sunday and for me that means coffee and a lazy rainy day with my son. It also means another Corrosive Challenge! This week's theme is Birthdays! Yup, it's that easy! For my design team creation I chose an image from Tickled Pink Stamps. She is called Lil Lolita Kellita, and this is the digi version. Digis are fabulous because you can re-size them to suit your project as I've done here. (TPS digis are only available from the 15th through the 21st of each month so if you are interested run right over to the shop this week to splurge on yours!)
I used some K&Company birthday themed paper and mini roses and rhinestones since no birthday is complete without flowers and bling! My layout is courtesy of The Sweetest Thing's Sweet Sunday Sketch 116 from last week. So I didn't get to enter mine, but there is a new sketch today if you are interested in playing along with them!
I am off to enjoy my one full day with my munchkin... Thanks for stopping by and hope your day is a fantastic one!

Is everyone ready for another Tickled Pink Stamps challenge? Challenge #19 is to use Vintage Colors. That might mean something a little different to each of us, depending on your style. For me, the Whimsy stack from DCWV with it's sherbet colors was just thing. Check out all the gorgeous creations from the design team and play along by visiting the Tickled Pink Challenge blog here!
I am thoroughly enjoying my guest designer spot with them and today I decided to play with one of the Lil Pinkette images. This is August... She is my favorite Pinkette for several reasons. 1) Her name is my birth month. 2) She's adorable. 3) She loves music like I do. (Once upon a time I worked in the radio industry and dreamed of being an on-air DJ. I settled for doing weddings for a while.) Since TPS is sponsoring Sketch Saturday this week I opted to use #154 as my starting point. It was a fun sketch, and of course I dressed it up with some flowers, punched butterflies, and bling. The sign is from my stash, and I've had it for a while, waiting for the perfect use. This was it!
Today is going to be a busy day... A full day of work and then I have 3 cards I need to complete somehow before tomorrow. I average one card a night usually , what with dinner time and bath time and play time and bed time. Oh my. Once my munchkin is asleep I can usually sit down at my desk to craft. It will be interesting to see what time in the wee hours of the morning I get to bed... lol
Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

Welcome to this week's Dare To Be Sassy Thursday post! The challenge is to create a wedding or bridal project. I decided to put a little spin on it and opted to make a bachelorette card. The image I used is a Sassy Studio Designs one called Martini Pin-Up. I found the fun bachelorette themed paper at one of my local chain craft stores. Add a white garter and the party can get started! I noticed after I uploaded my photo that my layers are a little crooked, but it's been a rough week so they are staying that way. That is the charm about hand-made items, right? Their unique quirkiness and lack of perfection? lol My layout is courtesy of sketch MOJO190 from Mojo Monday.
Wedding season is upon us so come play along! Post your creations here before next Wednesday evening for a chance to win 2 SSD images of your choice. Also don't forget we have other challenges to participate in as well (the monthy holiday challenge on the blog and the bi-weekly challenge over on our Paper Craft Planet group). Plus there are always fun sponsorships to take part in as well. Be sure to stop by the Sassy blog to get details on all the happenings!
