Pinkalicious!

If you've been following along, I'm working on Kraftin' Kimmie's birthday challenges. For Day Three of the Birthday Celebrations, Kimmie wants pink and at least one button. Do you think this is pink enough? LOL I have a sweet online friend that is obsessed with pink, so I'll be mailing this card to her.

I started with Taylor's Sketch #54 and pulled out my somewhat neglected Tickled Pink stamp set. I paired it up with some Mimi and Catelynne papers, a flower and a button from my stash.

I'm halfway through the challenges, and I have ideas floating in my head for the three remaining ones. Time will tell though if I actually have a chance to get them done. I have yet to start any Valentine's for my kids' classmates, and I refuse to buy them. :) It's not too late for you though...head on over to Kimmie's blog and see what great prizes she is giving away!

CPS Readers Choice Week - Wee Ones Baby Card

For Reader's Choice Week at the CPS blog, I chose Sketch #25 for this slightly overdue baby card using the Wee Ones stamps set. The sentiment is from one of the current Level A Hostess sets. The papers are from the Gentle Beginnings and Mimi collections. Ric-rac from my stash. After watercoloring the images using Burnt Umber and Toile Pink, I painted the pink with some Candle Light Shimmerz, but the sparkle is just not showing up in the photo. I'm not sure how many baby cards actually use brown, but I think it turned out okay.

A Layout

Can you believe I actually scrapped a page? My office/craft room is still in much disarray, but I felt the *need* to play for a little while. I'm trying to get a scrapbook made for my niece who will be leaving for her freshman year of college in just a few more weeks.

I started with Cherie's sketch. The paper is all from the Mimi Collection and the cardstock is Bazzill. I masked the center of the Date Disks stamp and just wrote in the year. The flowers, ric-rac, and alpha thickers are all from my stash.
