Best Wishes

Hi ya everyone!  Today I'm sharing a just for fun!!  I love my washi and often don't use them as I'm always coloring and trying to show that off :)  I used the adorable stamp set from Pink by Design.  I cut out a piece of white paper then covered half of it in my washi and stamped the bottom with my Versamagic ink.  Added some twine and a sentiment and viola that was it!  A simple card that looks gorgeous.  You know, I wish I had lined the white paper with the same cardstock I lined the sentiment in...oh well, live and learn right?

Guest Design Creations for Pink By Design!

Hi ya everyone!  Today is my last day at Pink By Design.  I had a great time designing with so many fabulous ladies, that were truly so kind and fun to work with!  I colored a Tiddly image called Lillie Claire Warm Wishes and also created a video for the special occasion on coloring black hair.  You can view that below!

I also created this fun little goody container using a Splitcoaststampers tutorial. 

The adorable stamps used for both creations are from Pink By Design and come with a little die-cut as well!  The set is called Goodie Labels (ONLY $10 with DIE!!)  That's a great price for this beautiful set of stamps.  Join us over at Pink By Design to see all the lovely creations from the DT!

A Little Pink By Design at Christmas

Hi ya everyone!  I'm super excited to be a guest this week at Pink By Design.  Elizabeth of 217 Creations asked if I would want to join the team for a fun week on the Pink By Design blog and I of course said yes.  I've been creating a number of fun cards using the adorable sentiments that can be purchased in the store.  Sarah Hamer the owner and designer is super talented and the stamps are of great quality and are fun to work with.  The theme this week at Pink By Design is non-traditional Christmas colors.  What a challenge for me, as I really love my greens and reds!  I used the adorable set called Goodie Labels and you are in LUCK as it's on sale for only $10 and it comes with a die too!

Hi ya everyone!
We have a new and adorable image at Tiddly Inks!  She's the sweetest and I had SO much fun coloring her gorgeous hair.  Christy has introduced a new character called Faythe and here she is!  You have to go check out some of my teamies creations with her so head over to the Tiddly Inks Blog and check her out.
I used the adorable paper from Echo Park called Sweet Day.  The ribbon is from the Ribbon Carousel and the sentiment is from Pink By Design called Bracketful.  The sentiment set comes with lots of adorable sentiments just like the one above.  The dots on the background are from the Fresh Goodies set also from Pink By Design and those were stamped in Key Lime Versamagic ink.  Of course she was colored in Copics.  I also used a Fiskars border punch for the trim.
Hope you have a fabulous day!

All My Love

Hi ya everyone!
  I made this very simple card today after seeing Beate John's GORGEOUS creation today on her blog, Fresh and Fun.  Really, check her creation out HERE.  She inspired me to use my embossing folders, which I haven't done for well over a year! Thanks Beate!  I also got a new stamp set from Pink By Design called Fresh Goodies.  This stamp set is super cute as it comes with perfect sentiments for all those yummy holiday goodies!  The sentiment and little heart are both from this set.  I'm also entering it into their fun challenge using your favorite patterns.  I LOVE floral design and also I'm a sucker for hearts when they are subtle! 
My paper is from the My Mind's Eye new paper Ruby.  I'm loving this paper.  The red heart was stamped in Versamagic Red Magic and the sentiment was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black.  The hearts were embossed with the Heart Blocks Cuttlebug folder onto Neenah Solar White cardstock.  The lace was from Ribbon Carousel.
