It's my favorite Friday of the month--My Pink Stamper Pinkalicious Blog Hop night!! If you have just come from creative Chelle (Paper Krate) then you are on the right track. If you just happened to stop by, make sure to start at the beginning at Robyn's fabulous My Pink Stamper blog.
Today's theme is a fresh clean start! Make something for yourself or that you would give someone to welcome the fresh clean start of a New Year! And I have to say that I really love what I made for today :)
I decided to make a mini book to record my quest to be published this year. Plus I just got a Bind It All for Christmas and this was the perfect way to try it out!
- My Pink Stamper Encourage Me and Scrap-alicious sets
- Cricut cartridges
- Sophisticated--front of card cut at 5 inches
- Designer's Calendar Months cut at 2 inches
- DCWV Black Currant and LaCreme Stacks
- Teresa Collins Blinage--Taylor's Clips
- Black Organdy Ribbon
- Stick on gems
- pop dots
Now your next stop on the hop is the fabulous Missy. And don't forget when you are all done to go back to My Pink Stamper and play along!
And since you've made it to the end of my post, I have a giveaway! It's one of my favorite things......a My Pink Stamper stamp set!! I have a few on order but I think I will giveaway a Love-alicious set today--perfect timing for Valentine's Day :) Just leave one comment with a way for me to contact you. I will leave it open until Wedneday, January 18th and announce the winner on Thursday.
Here's the hop order in case you get lost along the way:
Have a fabulous weekend everyone!!
