Rock Princess Birthday

Hi everyone!  My daughter needed a card for her BFF's party this weekend and here it is.  She picked the cut and patterned paper but didn't know where to go from there.  I really did say she could just do it herself but she decided I should make it.  But she took my new set of My Pink Stamper Friend-tastic stamps and stamped them all over the envelope! 
Here are the details:
  • Cupcake with Crossbones cut at 3 inches from Rock Princess
  • My Pink Stamper Fancy Phrases set for card and Friend-tastic for envelope
  • DCWV Glam Gal Stack patterned paper
  • The immortal love matstack -- white sparkly crossbones
  • Purple twine from The Twinery
  • Glam Pink, Purple and Lagoon Stickles
  • Signo White pen
  • pop dots
This was fun to make and I did check with her to see how she liked it before I glued anything :)

Thanks for visiting!!

A Fancy Birthday!

Hi everyone!  I've been working on some special projects so haven't posted much this week.  Here's a page I made for a challenge.  I had to use 4 cricut cuts, 3 Teresa Collins products and make it elegant.  I really do love the way this turned out, even though this is not how I usually scrapbook.  And of course, I made it pink :)

Here are the details:
  • Cartridges:
    • Elegant Edges photo mat cut at 4 x 6 and 4 1/4 x 6 1/4 each
    • French Manor Dress Form cut at 8 inches
    • French Manor Mirror cut at 1 1/4 inches
    • Cricut American Alphabet letters cut at 1 1/4 inches
  • Teresa Collins Products:
    • Posh Black Lace Cardstock
    • Posh Trims--Pearls and Skirt
    • Jesse's Jewels Blingage
    • Miranda's Jewels Blingage
  • Paper from The Paper Studio
  • American Crafts Ribbon
  • Glam Pink Stickles
  • Helmar 450 Quick Dry Glue
  • Pop dots

 









I had a lot of fun with this page.  The mirror just cuts out the frame and I had this shiny silver cardstock that I cut and put behind it to make it really look like a mirror.  It might even be from Teresa Collins--I just don't remember since it was a scrap.  I don't know if you can tell, but I completely stickled the letters.  I did this before gluing them down so I didn't get stickles all over the place

Thanks for stopping by!

Pagoda Page

Hi everyone!  Here's a scrapbook page I worked on this week. It only took me 3 nights to fininsh--LOL!  It's hard to get things completed after work and still spend time with the family.  I really hope to work on several things this weekend to get ahead.




I know I used the Pagoda cartrige, but don't have the measurements.  I also used the iRock Glam Rocks, My Pink Stamper Simply Sweet Occasions (smile) and Spectacular Sayings (happy day) sets, a White Signo Pen and some pop dots.   The stamp is not curved like that, I curved the stamp on the block to add to the corner.

I just love these pics from when my kids were litte :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Anyway, here's the winner of the Pink Smashbook:

My Pink Stamper Pinkalicious Blog Hop!!

Hi everyone!!  Welcome to our monthly Pinkalicous Blog Hop :)    If you've just come from the fabulous Cristi at Scrappin 5 Little Cupcakes, you are on the right track.  If not, you can start at My Pink Stamper and visit everyone in order. 

Our theme this month is All About Summer!  It certainly has felt like summer here in GA for about 2 weeks already and shows no sign of cooling off.  My sister-in-law just had a pool put it and I can think of nothing better to do in the summer than go to the pool.

So I made a pool party layout for you to view today.  No pictures are on it yet--I haven't gotten any printed yet from our Memorial Day pool party yet.

Here are the details:
  •  It's a pool party stamps are from My Pink Stamper Invitation Only new set
  • Goin' for a swim and pool journaling cut at 2 1/2 inches from Life is a Beach
  • 'Splashes' cut at 6 inches from Everyday Paper Doll
  • Echo Park Splash paper
  • iRock Glam Rocks
  • True Blue Stickles
  • pop dots
I thought it was fun to put the water on there as a journaling spot :)  Now, your next stop on the hop is the wonderful Raechel at Raechels Cards.  And make sure to go back to My Pink Stamper and post your project that you made for this hop about your favorite thing about summer!!

Here the whole blog order for you in case you get lost:





















Phew--you've made it to the end of the post!  So now I can show you the blog candy I have up for grabs.  It's a pink Smashbook, a packet of small pockets and some cute sticky tabs!!  They had a great supply of the books when I went to my Archiver's today to pick out a prize.  But I'm sure they won't last long since it's the weekend :)  Just leave one comment and a way for me to contact you if you win.  I will draw a winner on Tuesday night and post on Wednesday.

At the Zoo

Hi everyone!  Hope you all are well.  It's been so hot already here.  My scrap area is just in a hallway upstairs with no air vent, and too hot to work up there.  So this weekend I moved most of my things to the dining room.  We need to get some paiting done anyway and that will help up there. It's way cooler down here (and roomier) so I was able to get this scrapbook page made this weekend :)

Here are the details:
  • Imaginise
    • Animal Crackers Pixie Sticks Paper
    • B-Day Bash Collection Paper Ribbon Flags
    • iRock Glam Rocks
  • Cricut Cartridges
    • Elegant Edges cut at 11 inches and 4 inches
    • Birthday Bash elephant cut at 3 inches
    • Summer Vacation ticket cut at 1 1/2 inches
    • American Alphabet letters cut at 1 inch
  • White Pen
  • pop dots
Here are some close up pictures.  I've really been having trouble getting some clear photos, but the close ups look clearer at least!



Hope you have a great week!!  I hope to have another post tomorrow :)  And this Friday is a My Pink Stamper Blog Hop!! Make sure to put that on your calendar!

That's Fin-Tastic!

Hi everyone!  I made a super quick card last night to go along with a fun post on the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog today.  Make sure to head over there and see all the summer fun posted! 

Here's my card. 

I use some fun sparkly Coordinations paper for the body of the dolphin (cut at 3 1/2 inches) which came from Life is a Beach.  And that background paper is from the Summertime Echo Park pack that I got in the mail this week--fun!

Then I used Soiree Twine, iRock gems, white pen and of course, my favoite stamps--My Pink Stamper.  This one is from her Even More Punnylicious set.
