A Few Birthdays with The Greeting Farm and Tickled Pink

Hey All!! I'm here with a very late Wednesday post. I apologize for that but I was under the weather for a while and I thought I was all better but it seems like that lasted for about a day. Eeesssh! Here's hoping for a better tomorrow :)

Today began a brand new Retro Fresh Challenge over at The Greeting Farm Blog. The theme is The Golden Hour. That means use the colors Orange, Yellow and Baby Blue. I created a birthday card using the adorable Flutter Anya. I just adore this Anya because she looks great in all sorts of colored hair and that is one thing I love to do.

Hopefully you can play along with us this month and remember that you must use a Greeting Farm image (rubber or digi) that is at least 6 months old. Make sure you hop on over to the TGF Blog to check out the awesome retro creations from my farm sisters.

I'm submitting this card to: 

Anyone for Anya - Flower Power

Designed To Color - Washi Tape

Designed To Color - Theme Week, Day 6: Make Believe/Fantasy

Also, this week Tickled Pink Stamps is proudly sponsoring Creative Inspirations where the challenge is Anything Goes. I used Lil Pinkette Coraline for my very pink birthday card :) 

As always, some of the Pink Ladies and Pinkettes are playing along to help inspire you to join in the fun for a chance to win some Tickled Pink goodness. Make sure you hop on over to the TPS Blog to check it out.

Tickled Pink Stamps is sponsoring Stamptacular Sunday

Happy Sunday!! This week Tickled Pink Stamps is sponsoring the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge. The challenge is to create a project inspired by the eerily fabulous image below. Doesn't it just scream the "Headless Horseman". Oooooh spooky, Lol. So as you can see, time is zooming by and Halloween is just around the corner.

    

Here is my take on the challenge. I created my first Halloween card of the year using Lil Haunts Frankie Frankenstein. I am also using my brand new matstack from DCWV named Betwitched. Yes ladies, new Halloween and Fall stacks are already available for purchase. This beauty can be found at Joanns. 

All paper used is DCWV, including the card base.

I used the August Card Sketch for the DCWV Stack-a-holics Challenge.

 Sentiment is from Crafty Sprouts, Totally Witchin' set.

Make sure you hop on over to the Tickled Pink Stamps blog to check out what the rest of the Pink Ladies and Pinkettes created. Hopefully you can play along, there are some Tickled Pink digis to be won :)

Graphicat Sketch #9: Terribly Late...Naughty

Happy Memorial Day!! This is the kick off to Summer and what a beautiful day it is. But let's put a pause on all the B-B-Q'ng and Pool jumping for a minute and give thanks to all the brave troops that have fought for us and for all the ones that continue to do so.

Today is also the beginning of a new sketch over at Graphicat Sketch Challenge. Here is my take on the challenge. It may seem like it's not there but I promise that it is, just peel off the layers of flowers. Lol. 

I, again, used my favorite Hatter from Tickled Pink Stamps. He comes from Lil Perfect Match line, which by the way is 40% off. I was inspired by his top hat, which is why I added on to the front and one to the inside. The sentiment I used on the front, is one of my favorite lines of the movie. It's in the scene when Alice is arriving to the Tea Party. (This is not a digi, I typed it up myself).

For the inside of my card, I used one of Hatter's famous quote. This sentiment digi is called "Why Is A Raven" and can be found at the Graphicat Store.

Make sure you head on over to the Graphicat Sketch Blog to check out what the other Crafty Catz created for you.

Not Too Shabby for Tickled Pink Stamps

Happy Sunday! This week Tickled Pink Stamps is proudly sponsoring The Corrosive Challenge where the theme is "Not too Shabby - Shabby Chic or Vintage Style" . We hope you head on over there and join in all the fun and you'll have a chance to win some Tickled Pink digis too. In the meantime here's my inspiration for the challenge.

I went for a Shabby Chic look. I'll always been a little lost as to what constitutes Shabby Chic or Vintage but I found a trick to it. Find a stack that you love that could pass off as that look, I chose DCWV Preppy Princess then add pearls and lace (I couldn't find my lace so I substituted) and voila, you have tricked yourself into a shabby chic look, lol.

For my image I used Party Pinkette Coraline, one of my favorite Pinkettes. She's great for all your birthday cards and once you cut off the balloon, for other projects as well. Make sure you hop on over to the Tickled Pink Stamp Shop to check out the Lolitas, Lads and Pinkettes. Also, make sure you hop on over to the Tickled Pink Blog to see some gorgeous Pink Lady creations.

Graphicat Sketch #8 with a TPS Sponsor

Happy Monday! It's the start of another Graphicat Sketch, #8 to be exact. This one is has a lot of possibilities, so hopefully, you play along. 

Here is my take on the sketch. I used one of my favorite Tickled Pink Stamp images, Lil Little Lolita Ivy, who is currently on sale. In case you haven't heard, Tickled Pink Stamps is having a blow out sale where all rubber stamps must go and digis have a 25% off. Sadly Tickled Pink will be closing down, which you can read about it HERE, but in the meantime all images are still available for purchase so make sure you get yours. 

This week, TPS is sponsoring The Corrosive Challenge, where the theme is Flowers, Doilies and Bling (use at least 2 of the 3).  I used all three items, how could I not, I just looooooove me some flowers :) 

Sentiment: Graphicat Designs

Make sure you head on over to the Graphicat Sketch Blog and the Tickled Pink to check out all the amazing cards created for these challenges.

Graphicat Sketch #7: Cooler Together

Happy Monday Morning!!! Hmmmm, that seems a little wrong to say, Lol. It's time to get up and start the week and this week, I'm starting it off with a new Graphicat Sketch. We are already at #7, Wow time flies!

Here's my take on the sketch. I know it may look a little off but I swear it's hiding in there. Lol. I rotated it to the right. The images are from the new School Pinkettes line from Tickled Pink Stamps. I thought Jessie and Heidi would look cute together, especially because Heidi looks like a silly little gal. 

The sentiment is "Way Cooler" with a cool price of $1.00 from Graphicat Designs.

Make sure you hop on over to the Graphicat Sketch Blog to check out the amazing samples from the rest of the Catz :). And make sure to play along :)

Tickled Pink Stamps is Sponsoring...

Hey All, Happy Sunday!!!  Tickled Pink Stamps is sponsoring Two different challenge blogs this week, Crafting When We Can and The Corrosive Challenge. So that means you'll get double chances to try and win some TPS images.

For my card, I used Lil Allsort Fairy Kira. This is one bad ass fairy, so not your typical type. I paired her up with this very funny and sarcastic sentiment from Graphicat Designs called Happiness Fairy. This sentiment can be found in digi and clear stamp form. This is going to make a perfect Birthday Card for my oldest niece, who can be surly and have a 'tude sometimes, but I know she's going to love it because of it.

Make sure you pop on over to the Tickled Pink Stamps blog to check out what the Pink Ladies created. You don't want to miss it.

New School Pinkettes: Kira

Happy Monday!! Im so excited and I just cant hide it (lol) because it is Spring Break over here on my end. WooHoo!!! :) Ahem, ok back to my regularly scheduled program. Hehehe.

Today we are bringing you another New School Pinkette named after Kellie's eldest, Kira! Real Kira is a red head just like Kellie, so I deicided to give my cartoon Kira some fiery red hair as well. This little gal is ready and comes prepared with her needed accessories, which is why I thought she would be perfect for the cover of a mini comp book.

Hop on over to the Tickled Pink Stamps Blog to check out what the rest of the Pinkettes created for you. While you're there, leave some bloggy love for a chance to win your very own Kira Digi.  [Materials: Prismacolor Pencils. DCWV Paper. Recollections Paper. The Twinery Twine. Mod Podge.

I also wanted to show off the Easter Pinkettes from the Easter line that was released late Feb. There are four in total and these are real cuties that will look great on those Easter cards. This is also a Digi line so you'll be able to print them out and color them up in a matter of minutes.

First up is Bunny Pippa! Isn't she super cute with those bunny ears and that crunchy carrot. She's promoting healthy snacks so you must get her :D  (I'll be playing with: Paper Sundaes - Easter. The Pink Elephant - 142 Clean and Simple)

Thanks!

I'm a Pinkette!!! + New School Pinkettes: Chloe

Hello All!! Welcome to the first day of previews for the  NEW School Pinkette digi line from Tickled Pink Stamps! There will be a total of four uber cute images set to be released on April 5th. This whole line will be great for all end of the school year projects. I know that here in the States we still have between 8-12 weeks before the school year ends but you know how time flies (geesh we are already in April!!!) and so it's never to soon to start working on those teacher gifts, etc.

First up is Chloe! She's named after Kellie's youngest who is beyond adorable!! This little chick is ready to take on a full day of Kinder. I was undecided on my sentiment so I made my own little A+ paper that can be easily removed, if need be.

Make sure you hop on over to the Tickled Pink Stamps blog for your chance to win your own Chloe. Just remember to leave some bloggy love! Plus, you'll get to meet the new Pinkettes (which includes Me!!) See you again tomorrow with a new Preview and a new sketch from Graphicat Designs/Sketches. Thanks!

Hello All!! I hope you are all preparing for Easter and aren't in La-La Land about it like I was.

Weeeeell it turns out that we dont have a month left. Lol! So it's time to crank out those Easter cards, projects and baskets.

If you are looking for a super cute versatille Easter image. Look no further, here I have Pinkette Daisy August from the Easter Pinkettes line (Tickled Pink Stamps). Isn't she the cutest?!? And she comes along with 3 other Easter friends. Click HERE to see all the Easter Pinkettes.

Saying Goodbye to TPS Challenges

Hello and Happy Evening! Tickled Pink Stamp Challenges is closing its doors. Insert sad face. They had a great run for over a year. Some were excellent challenges, some werent so up my alley (lol) but through out it all, they did provide gorgeous samples.

I'm here with my final entry featuring one of my all time fave TPS image, Lil Little Lolita Ivy. Isn't she the most adorable mini Alice out there?!!??? She just stole my heart when I saw her. She can be found in Rubber Form Here and Digi Form Here.

I used the Feb/March Quixotic Sketch for my LO.

Thanks for all the great challenges Tickled Pink!!

Graphicat Sketch #2: Wild Tea Party

Happy President's Day!! I hope you are all enjoying your Holiday lounging, bbq-ing, crafting, shopping or all of the above :)  I'm here today with Sketch #2 for Graphicat Sketches/Designs. Isn't this sketch awesome and a little tricky (lol).  It allows you to add loads of layers which in turn frees up your space for new paper pads, flowers and fibers.  It is a vicious cycle isn't it? lol

Here is my take on the sketch using some of my favorite characters from one of my favorite stories.  I might have gone a little "wild" (lol) with the flowers but I just love the look of a lot of flowers on a card. I'm sorely lacking on a variety of them but with time, I'll either learn to make them myself, bow to crafty pressure and buy a huge expensive bundle or simple say, "the heck with this, no more flowers". lol

This special belated birthday card will be going to another Alice in Wonderland fanatic (my friend's 13 yr old).  It feels good to know that the hours I spent on this will  not be in vain but very much liked, appreciated and cared for. Now I'm off to create one for my equally fanatic friend as well. Lol.
