Halloween Blog Candy Winner

It's time to announce the winner of this complete set of FOUR unmounted rubber Lil Haunting Pinkette stamps from Tickled Pink Stamps! The collection includes Robot Timmy, Fairy Coraline, Pirate Patrick, and Witch Audrey! Aren't they the sweetest trick or treaters you've ever seen?!?!I'm sorry this is a day late.... Busy crafting schedule got the best of me yesterday! I am surprised that I only had 5 entrants for this fabulous candy, but I guess the Linky tools issues in the beginning messed us up a bit! Well, to those that entered, thank you for sharing your favorite Halloween memories with me! It is my favorite holiday and I think my favorite part was the fabulous home-made costumes my mom would sew for us! I was Santa Claus, a Space Cadet, a red crayon, and a cast of other characters throughout the years! I am looking forward to creating new memories with my son now! I wonder if I can convince my mom she needs to start making costumes again... lol

Anyway, random.org has determined that 5 is the lucky winner so congrats to Kathy Curry! Kathy, please e-mail me to claim your prize, and I'll ask Kellie to send them off to you ASAP!

Thanks again to everyone who participated in my Halloween blog candy and special thanks to Tickled Pink Stamps owner Kellie Winnell for her generous prize donation! Happy Haunting everyone!

Tickled Pink Stamps Preview Day 1 - Lil Party Pinkette Coraline

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!

PS I will be back later tonight with a post to announce the winner of my Lil Hauntings Pinkette Halloween blog candy!

Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #93 - Breast Cancer Awareness

Happy Thursday! Wow, this week has gone by quickly! It's almost Friday, and the weekend, and I have big crafty plans! But first it's time for another Dare To Be Sassy Thursday over at Sassy Studio Designs! As you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so this week's theme is to create a project in honor of those whose lives have been effected by this disease. We want to see lots of pink! SSD owner/artist Lindsay has some amazing images that are simply perfect for this challenge, and they can be found under the For A Good Cause section of the SSD online store.

I used one of these images - it's entitled Support a Cause. I chose the sketch #114 from Tuesday Morning Sketches as my layout. I opted to make a round easel card out of it. They have an extra little challenge going on this month also in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. If you play along each week AND use pink in your creations (and enter in a maximum of only 2 other challenges) you'll be put into a drawing for a chance to win some blog candy from them!

The image was colored with Copics and Prismacolor Art Markers. Papers are Stampin' Up and Me & My Big Ideas. I added my typical embellishments - flowers and some pearl flourishes. The antique brad is from Stampin' Up and is used to prop the easel open. I also punched some greenery with my Martha Stewart branch punch.

You'll want to pop over to the Sassy Studio Designs blog to see what some of my design team mates have created for this challenge as well. You have all week to join the challenge. You don't need to use a SSD image to play along, but we love to see them. Also we select our guest designers from the DTBST entries. If you'd like to be our GDT for November, use a SSD image and put "GDT" after your name when you link your project! Easy enough, right?

Thanks for visiting and I'll be back shortly with a combined Tickled Pink Stamps Lil Pinkette preview/Tickled Pink Stamps Challenges card!

The Corrosive Challenge #134 - Purple Passion

Good afternoon all! Sorry for the late post! It has been a busy crafting week for me! Then there was work, the housework I think about doing, but rarely get to, oh and running around after a toddler all weekend is quite time consuming as well! lol But here I am again with another post so that I can tell you about the new Corrosive Challenge! It's a new month, October - my favorite one of the year - so that means new sponsors and prizes as well! Let's find out a little about our generous sponsors - and their fabulous prizes - before we get to this fortnight's challenge!

First, we have Doodle Pantry:

Here is a little blurb from owner/artist Laurie Wilson: "I am honored to be sponsoring the Corrosive Challenge this month! I hope you like the Corrosive team's creations using Doodle Pantry images and are inspired to play along. Doodle Pantry has a variety of image styles and characters and even some templates. I would be honored if you stopped by and grabbed a freebie or two and took a look around the shop."

Doodle Pantry has kindly provided a $15 gift voucher for use in their online shop.

Our second sponsor is Karen's Doodles:

Karen Johnson has been drawing all of her life. She has worked on the feature film, "Ferngully The Last Rainforest" and has created animations for Disney, Fisher Price, and Mattel. She has illustrated several children's books and is currently teaching animation at a college in Wisconsin. She started Karen's Doodles so she could share her whimsical drawings with crafters from around the world.

Karen's Doodles has generously offered a prize of 3 digi images of choice.

And now on to the challenge.... The theme for this fortnight is "Purple Passion"! We want to see your creations featuring my favorite color PLUS one other color only. My card uses an adorable image from sponsor Doodle Pantry called Birdie Bat! Isn't he cute? My layout is Sketch #41 from Sketches by Carly. I love the pennant banner element! Did I mention that Carly is only 12 years old? Pretty cool, huh? Check her fabulous new sketches every fortnight!

I selected black as my second color. The purple card stock is Lovely Lilac from Stampin' Up, and the designer paper is also from Stampin' Up in the same color. I use the Banner Day die from My Favorite Things for the banner and embellished with Recollections flowers from Michaels.

Pop over to The Corrosive Challenge blog to see what the rest of the design team has created and hope you'll play along! You have two weeks to join in the fun! Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!
