PINK PINK PINK!!

Hello, all my Blog-land friends!!

So, it's October already!

Do you realize there are only 82 days until Christmas!!??!!

As we head into October, it's a great time to send out a reminder 

to schedule your next mammogram!!

It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month!!

In honor of BCA, the team at The Stamping Boutique has posted a new challenge.

The theme is: PINK PINK PINK!

TSB is sponsoring Link Up For Pink

and I am planning to enter as many times as I can for a chance to win one of the prizes!

There are TONS of giveaways!!

Here is the first of my PINK creations for the month:

I made a 2-5-7-10 bag during our "Crafty Chat" at The Crafter's Cafe last weekend.

The image is "Banner Smoochie" from The Stamping Boutique

I colored her with my Prismacolor Pencils.

The paper is from Echo Park.

I colored the banner twice and cut out the second to pop it up for a little dimension.

She also has some Glossy Accents on her bows and boots.

Her hair barrette is pink Liquid Pearls.

This little bag will be on her way to my friend from The Crafter's Cafe.

I hope she enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Sure do hope you'll join us for the PINK PINK PINK challenge at TSB

and remember to schedule your exam!!!

See you soon!!

Sometimes I feel a little silly

This week, the new challenge at The Stamping Boutique is "Labor Day".
We were asked to create anything the represents "Working People" or "Jobs"...

Well, I for one was just relieved that for Labor Day, we were actually able to attend family picnics and have fun! The roads were all clear and it was smooth sailing... I'm sure today, on the way back to work, it will be a different story!! It seems like everywhere I look, we're seeing construction zones and backed up traffic!

So, to honor all the hard-hats out there, and to thank them for taking Monday off, I created this fun little card:

I chose to work with AJ the Builder from The Stamping Boutique. I {heart} all the AJ's!!

I created the construction cone in ECal, then cut it out with my EClips... the PA state cut out is from Lettering Delights "Every State" set, which was a part of the first Simple Shapes Super Bundle and the font for my "sentiment" is "Bobo"... boy-oh-boy... using the Print-to-Cut feature on that machine sure does make short work of fussy-cutting digital images!! I just imported AJ, traced him and cut.... voila... fussy-cut in 5 minutes! (-: The papers are from My Mind's Eye and I just used a simple background because there is so much going on here! (-:

The TSB Design Team created a variety of Job Related cards including bakers, artists and even an elf!

Make sure you stop over and show them a little love!!

Banner Days at TSB

All this month, we've been celebrating the Third Birthday of The Stamping Boutique!
This week, our challenge is to celebrate "Banner Days" and show off how we use banners in our work!


I'm so excited that I was actually able to make a card this week to share!
I originally made this for our Birthday Celebration at The Crafter's Cafe, but wanted to share it with you today as well!

I used the Lollipop Square image from The Stamping Boutique. The papers are from the DCWV Sweet Stack.

A little Glossy Accents on the candy, some pink Liquid Pearls, the Diamonds embossing folder from Sizzix, and we'll call it a day!
