Wind go away...So I can pick the Spring Flowers!

UGH! today is so windy, cold and ugly outside. The dirt is flying everywhere!!!

Today Pink Papery design team ladies were challenges to do WHATEVER we wanted! So I picked the basket girl from the line called between us girls. Pink Papery has this digital image for sale in the store. I just so wish it was nice enough to actually go out and pick the flowers!

Pink Papery Studio - Love the Bug!

This weeks challenge I was asked by Amy to make a sketch! So we were challenged to use the sketch that I made and the cute little digital image love bug from Simply Sista's. Don't forget to visit all the Design team ladies blogs to see the awesome cards that they all made using this sketch and the same image. I will also be posting them on the Pink Papery Blog so don't forget to go leave them some love on their cards!

I'm here & still alive!

Life has been really busy for me lately I haven't been able to post much. I had a stamping class this last Sunday which turned out to be so much fun. I will get pictures of all the projects we did later this week.

Last Wed. we had Pink Papery's weekly challenge and I of course am a little late posting it on my blog. We were to use the cute little house image that will be coming soon along with some other cute images from the same line. Here is the card that I made..make sure to visit Pink Papery's blog and see all the ADORABLE cards that the design team created!

Ahhh Just Sit & Relax!

I'm taking a break from cleaning to come and post. I made this card last night and used a sketch that was posted here on Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesday blog. Her little brother actually drew up this sketch this week for all of us to use! Isn't it just too cute!!! I even added some little piercings to the corners just for him..since he loves that tool! I used one of the digital images from Just between us Girls that Pink Papery Studio will be releasing SOON!. I just LOVE paper piecing I think I'm gonna be addicted to it for a while haha!

Pink Papery Studios - Challenge

Today all of Pink Papery design team was busy making their cards for today's challenge. Amy had asked me to create a sketch and on top of that we were to use hot pink, turquoise and black colors on our cards. Those 3 new colors are going to be the newest colors of shimmer it's!!! I can't wait.

Here is the sketch that I made for all the design team to use. And to follow is the card that I made for the challenge. I used a digital image that Pink Papery Studio will be selling in the online store soon. It's from the stamp line called Simply Sistas. I had so much creating the first card that I had to make another...I did my first every paper piecing on this card and I love it! I don't know why it took me so long to try it out. I'm glad I finally did!

Don't forget to check out the rest of the cards that the design team made! The links are on my side bar.

My little Sketch Book!

I haven't had time to work on any cards today..been busy cleaning making lunch and spending time with my other half. I did alter this little sketch book the other day and hadn't posted it here to share with you all. I used one of the Digital images that Pink Papery Studios will be releasing along with a lot of other super cute images to purchase tomorrow! So don't forget to check out the store!

Pink Papery Previews!

Pink Papery Studio's is having another digital stamp release this Saturday, March 7th. Trish and I were busy all day in the stamp room creating cards like we were machines haha! not really! but, we did make about 4-6 cards each. Trish's cards came out SO ADORABLE but I will post her's later on because for now we gotta focus here on Pink Papery haha! and the new images! So, here are a few more previews to get you excited for Saturday. For the last 2 days I've had a blast using these new images from between us girls line I did add shimmer it to all of the cards here..I wish you could see them in real life they are so pretty! I think pretty soon my whole room is going to be shimmered..I'm seriously addicted to this stuff and I think Trish is now too. haha!

Busy Card Making Day!!!

WOWZERS! I have been busy all day long making cards for Pink Papery Studio's release this weekend. All of the images used are digital and will be released this Saturday, March 7. You can visit to the Pink Papery store to purchase them!

The first card was for Pink Papery's Wednesday challenge. We had to use the new charm bracelet along with shimmer it paints and WOW this was the first time I ever played with my shimmer it's and they are SO pretty! If you love to add sparkle to your cards then you need some of this yummie stuff! Pink Papery carries a few different colors in the store so go take a look! I was so shimmer happy that I used it on ALL my cards that I made today! It's just lovely!

The bride card that I did was inspired by a sketch challenge that little Madelynn's drew up and is posted here on her very own blog Twinkling Tuesdays .

It's really hard to see in the pictures and all the sparkle but on the bride card I took a close up so if you click on it I'm hoping you can see the sparkle that I added to the veil and dress.

This next card was inspired by Mojo Monday sketch #76 I know that I'll be making more cards with this sketch..I love it!

Last but not least..this card was inspired by a sketch posted by Card Patterns you can find the sketch here sketch #4

They will be available for purchase this evening so be sure you go grab yours and start making lots of cute cards to share with us and to share with others you give your cards to.

I made a few cards for today's release so you can see just how cute and fun these images are!

The second card that is posted here was inspired by a sketch challenge that Mojo Monday posted here on week #75

The 2 cards below was inspired from a Sketch challenge from Sketch patterns blog here I know it's a little late but I thought it was a fun sketch so I thought I'd try it.

Pink Papery Studios - Challenge - *NEW St. Patty's Day Images!

This weeks challenge for Pink Papery was to make a shaker card so instead of searching for a shaker card instructions I thought I knew what I was doing...well it was harder than I thought it would be and VERY challenging to me haha! But I did it all alone and it came out ok...I feel it's plan and I will probably add to it later. I filled up the shaker with glitter, beads and chunky glitter. I made the saying with photo shop to add to the card.

I used the new digital image from Pink Papery that will be released to sell in the store this Sat. February 28th. I think she is so cute!!!

There are more images along with some sayings to go with her that were sent to us today so I will have more previews from the set before Sat. posted here on my blog...so be sure to come back for more to see and remember to visit all of the design teams blogs for even MORE!

Challenges, Challenges & More Challenges

Yes, I'm alive haha! I haven't posted in a few days because after my little 3 day trip to Colorado I just couldn't get back in the swing of things. I think my brain might have been frozen from all the snow haha! My family & I did have lots of fun so it was all worth the freeze!

Since I was gone last week I missed posting my challenge for Pink Papery. Here is the journal I altered for last weeks challenge. We were to use pink bling, a stamp/digital image from Whimsy Studios and we get brownie points for altering a journal/notebook. I used a journal notebook that Amy sent me and the digital image from Whimsy-Studios called Angel food cake. I also used the chunky glitter on the wings that Amy sent me so, that counts as my bling. I LOVE cupcakes so thought this would be kind of cute to write all my cupcake recipes in.

The card that I made for today's challenge..was a CHALLENGE for sure! We were to use an image/stamp from between us girls or doodle girls and make the card masculine. I figured I'd make a spa card for my hubby as a little joke letting him know how I feel while getting a pedicure! haha! I used the digital image from Between us Girls called Simply Spa...this is another set that I love from this line.

I also used the sketch from Mojo Monday - week #74 on today's card. I just LOVED this sketch you can find it here on this link...http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2009/02/mojo-monday-week-74.html

Pink Papery Altered Item Challenge

YAY! my blog is finally coming back together after I tore it all apart and deleted ALL of my side bars and links last night! I was up till 3am...I'm so out of it right now LOL! but as long as my blogs back together then I'm A-OK haha! I figured I needed a new layout..So I made it all up and didn't realize it was gonna take all my links with it. Anyways...I'm starting to get my links back slowly but surely....If you have any links to card sketch blog challenges I'd really appreciate it if you left me the link so I can start my list back up because I can't remember which ones I had and boy do I love my sketch challenges!

This weeks Pink Papery Challenge was to alter something...I drink LOTS of crystal light tea (target brand) and I keep all the containers thinking one day I will "need" these for something. Well the day has come and I used one up for this weeks challenge. I really LOVE the way this came out...I used the digital images by Trafalgarssquare called My Friend & I set. You can purchase it at Pink Papery Studio's store so head on over to check them out....they have some adorable images/stamps.

OHHH and I also made a card to match. The card that I made I used a sketch from Poetic Artistry...I'm a little behind on sketches there..I just LOVE her sketches but you can find the one I did here it's week #66 sketch. http://poeticartistry.blogspot.com/2008/12/mojo-monday-week-66.html

Secret Sis Goodies...

Us DT members at Pink Papery did a Secret Sis gift/card exchange during Christmas. Since my Sis got her goodies I wanted to share with you all a few of the things I made her. All the images used in the cards/projects are from Pink Papery.

Pink Papery Metallic Challenge

Well I think I'm alive...late last night my tummy was hurting me REALLY bad. My hubby had the flu Sunday so, I was thinking maybe I was starting to get it. Which of course was praying I wouldn't...I tried to keep the house clean, my hands washed and lysol sprayed. Well I was right...5am it hit me hard. I went to the Dr. around 10:30am because I was in so much pain. He said I had the stomach flu and gave me a shot in they bum so the nausea could go away. I slept ALL day long and just woke up now. I'm feeling better my body hurts really bad still. It feels like I was ran over with a truck! I'm glad the nausea is away that's what really matters.

Anyways...I'm here posting my challenge a little late in the day. I just had no energy to do it earlier. Our challenge for Pink Papery was to use metallic on our cards today. My scalloped circle, the glitter and the ribbon is metallic as well as the stars on the background. The digital stamp is by Whimsy Studios called Her first Dance you can purchase it here at the Pink Papery store http://host.pappapak16.com/~pinkpape/category_19/Whimsy-Studios.htm

After I was done with the challenge card yesterday I decided to make another. On this card I was inspired by the sketch that Jessica's daughter drew up here http://thewhimsicalbutterfly.blogspot.com/2009/01/fabulous-twinkling-tuesday-isnt-she.html . Jessica is one of the DT members for Pink Papery Studio's. Thanks Jessica for the sketch challenge.

This was also a digital image that I used for this card. It's a by Whimsy Studios and is called devil's food cake stamp.

YUMMY Cupcakes!

These are 3 of the newest images that I received from Pink Papery. They are from the Whimsy Studios collection. Aren't they just so yummy looking? I decided I needed to make 2 cards for this weeks challenge instead of just one...since I missed the last few challenges. (which I hope to catch up on soon).

The first card I made is using the images called Angel & Devil food cake stamp sets. You can find them and purchase them here http://host.pappapak16.com/~pinkpape/category_19/Whimsy-Studios.htm . We were challenged to dig through our pattered paper scraps and use at least 2 different papers.


I really wanted to use my prismas to color all of my cupcakes but the paper I guess that I printed the images on kept smudging the black..so next time I'll have to go back to printing on glossy white...that seemed to work better the last time. I colored the images this time with a little prisma but didn't get to use the gamsol on it and I also used some shimmery chalks along with lots of glitter and stickles!
