Welcome

Just a real quick post right now - gotta run off to work - This is my last minute entry into Tickled Pink challenge - use cardboard!  The mat is stamped and colored with copics and the image is fussy cut prior to coloring - I thought I'd cut the cardboard with my nestie and it worked - I put an extra shim to make sure it went all the way through - I even embossed it!  Yay me!  Anyway, this is a cricut cut card with a different shape the yellow is also cut from my cricut - it's all from the Lyrical Cart!  Love the way it came out - wasn't sure at first - but I'm happy - and now off to work!!!

A Pink Celebration!

I love Pink and I love the tropical touch - I used a Hawaiian hisbuscus to make this tropical!  Fairly simple layout but blingy!  I used lotsa glitter and Sakura glaze pens.  This is the negative of a nestie - Remember - I'm on my using scraps as often as I can "kick".  It's working - I'm making a dent in my scraps pile!  It's a big pile - somedays I'm tempted to just say - "done" and toss it - I just don't think I can!!  Silly I know!  Anyway - I do love this image - she's so retro - it happens to be one of my daughters favorites!!  I'm sad though - I've gotten to love digis and it looks like Tickled PInk won't be doing them anymore- Ahhhhh......It's cool - I'll get the rubber!

Cupcake Fairy

Is she just the cutest little cupcake fairy?  I decided to try the tri-pocket card - a little complicated at first (as is most new concepts).  But - I so loved it - This is definitely not one of those simple cards.  Nothing complicated - just a lot of stuff- buttons, bows, charms, ribbon and a cherry on top!  This was a Whoopsi Daisy challenge and I thought I'd combine it with One Stitch at a time.
