Three Clover Thursday: Nature


Happy Thursday. You know what Thursdays mean.....Three Clover Thursday challenge over at KDC's blog. This weeks challenge is Nature. Well, when i started to think about the card I would make, I started thinking of flowers, trees, and animals. Well, I am not a very Flowery" kind of girl. So when I sat to make my card I went with my typical "cutesy" style. Hey, it's a turkey, that's nature right? I also was able to combine this challenge with MaryJo's Monday Lunchtime sketch challenge. Don't you just love when you can make 2 challenges work in one card...Wahoo..
I have gone Pink Cat Crazy. I just adore these Pink Cat Studio Images. They are just adorable. There isn't one I don't like. Hey, guess what.......Tomorrow Pink Cat Studio is releasing even more new Digi images. wait till you see. They are just adorable. Sooooo cute. Well, I am off. I have to go prepare my card for tomorrow. Don't forget to check back to see what's PCS image I have used. ooohhhh, they are soooo cute......
Supplies:
Stamps: PCS digi image
paper: fancy designs, and basic grey
Ink: copics, and white pen
Misc: Ribbon, and bobble eye.

Serious Blog Candy alert!!!!


Chris over at "Twinkles Glow With Stamps" is celebrating her Birthday with some serious Blog candy. Head on over and leave her some B-day wishes and a chance to win.
Here is just a preview of what is up for grabs.Happy Birthday Chris!

Baked With Love



Happy Monday!!!! Did you enjoy your weekend? Do anything special? Well, as I have said before, we are in the middle of Fall here and it is beautiful out. The trees are all sorts of shades of reds, oranges, yellows, and greens, but with the beauty, comes the cool weather. This morning was so cold that we had to turn on our heat. Yikes, I am not ready for that. The problem with the "season " of fall, is that winter is always right behind, and if this winter is anything like last winter, we will be living in a frozen tundra.


Anyways, I have another Pink Cat Studios card for you today. I have to say, there isn't an image I don't love. They are the perfect size for me to color and they are all so stinkin cute. Melissa the owner is absolutely amazing. She comes up with all these ideas and draws them into images. Today I used Itty Bitty Betty baked a Pie. How cute is she. She can be used for so many occasions. How about a get well, a Thank you....what else can you can think of? I did want some quirky saying, but I came up empty. Have any ideas? I also used this weeks Friday Sketchers sketch. I was not sure how it would work out, but I think it looks fine.
Well. that is all for me today. I have a HUGE test this evening in A&P lab. 100 questions on microscope slides, heart model, nerves, arteries, and EKG's. So, I better get a last study session in. I hope you have a fabulous day and happy creating!


Supplies:
Image: Pink Cat Studio Digi Image
Paper: Imaginsce, SU cardstock

Pink Cat Studio: It's Turkey Time!!!



Happy Thursday.....Gobble, gobble.....Hehehe....Guess what.....Pink Cat Studio released 7 new turkey digi images today, and I am going to leave you hanging here a minute while I tell you how stinkin cute they are. Holy smokes, these are some of the cutest Thanksgiving images I have ever seen (SERIOUSLY).  Wanna peek? 



   Well, What do you think?  Aren't they to die for cute, and did I mention how fun they are to color.  The best thing about Digi stamps is the ability to make them as big, or as small as you want.  I have a bunch more printed out and they are just waiting to be colored.  I can't wait to color more (hehehe).  Did you ever think you would say that as an adult?

Wanna see what the "oh so very creative" ladies on The digi design team made with these super cute images. OMG that are all so cute. Wait till you see:

BOO!

Happy Wednesday! Are you having a good week?  Well, it is raining here in NH, but very typical for a New England Fall, but the colors are gorgeous. I am hoping to find a few spare moments to capture a few pictures before the leaves change to much.

Guess what today is??? Inky Impressions Challenge day.  The challenge this week is Fall or Halloween colors.  Oh, my favorite.  I have so much Halloween paper, and yet I continue to buy it. Yikes.

For today's challenge, I used "Lili's secret" from Inky impressions, although she is not very "Halloweenish", I thought the saying and her expression worked here.  What do you think?  Think this works? I used my new pad of Erie Baci Grey paper, which I am loving.  I have become a complete Basic Grey junkie.  Seriously, I don't know why I buy anything else.  I always end up going back to the Basic Grey 6x6 pads.  I wish all companies made 6x6 designer paper.  oooh, I love it (the paper, that is).

While making this card, I decided it looked blah, so I decided to go with rub ons.  what do you think? Are they to much?  I got them at the Target $1.00 stop, and I can't resist anything for a buck.  Glad I used them though.  I have really been trying to use from my current stash, as it has gotten out of control.  My one thing that I have a problem with is DP. I have them seperated in seasons, for catagories, but as I buy new stuff, it gets more and more out of control, and now I have no idea what I bought.  How do you store your DP?  Any suggestions.

Well, that is it for me today. I am headed to class.  I hope you all have a wonderful day and Happy Creating!

I have some BIG news to share!!!!!!

Happy Friday, and boy is it a Happy day!!!!! I have something to tell you, I have something to tell you..... Can you tell I am doing the happy dance while I am typing this.  Well, are you ready????  Here is comes...I made the Pink Cat Studios Digi Design Team.  Can you believe it?  I was shocked, but so very excited.  I have been a big fan of Pink Cat Studios for some time now, and now I get to play with all their new digi images.  I'm so excited, I'm so excited (can you hear me singing that).
Have you seen Pink cat's new Digi store?  OMG everything is Soooo cute!  The card I have made today is not a digi image, but it is one of their NEW Halloween released stamp sets.  This is the second card I have made with the set and I believe I could make a bunch more.  The set is fabulous, and is one of my hubbies favorites.  He loves the hand that comes out of the ground. Hehehe.

Well, today has to be short but sweet, I have school and a ton of things to get done today, but I had to share my big news with you all.  Did I tell you how excited I am (hehhee).  Oh, and did I mention that not only is the Pink Cat Studio's new digi stamps amazing, but so is their design team.  Holy smokes, don't tell anyone, but I am a little bit nervous about my cards compared to the ladies who I will be designing next to.  They are all so amazing.  Here is a complete list of the new DT:

Three Clover Thursday challenge: Pink!




Happy Thursday.....The weather here is CHILLY.  The actually had to be turned on today. Yikes,that means  winter isn't that far behind.           

                                                Today over at Three clover Designs is challenge #33.  In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month (Oct). the challenge today is "think pink". No, the card doesn't have to be a suppot kind of card.  It just has to be pink.  Seeing I have this oh so very cute "Ribbon Lili" stamp from Inky Impressions, I thought I would go with the whole theme.  Sometimes (almost always), I make a card just to make it, ususally for a challenge.  Then the card sits in a box to never be seen agian.  Not this card.  This card is going to my cousin Tracy, who has fought and survived breast cancer.  She went through what most of us couldn't imagine, and she never complained.  She is a survivor !

Well, I am off to get the day started.  I hope you all have a wonderful day and Happy Creating!!!!!!
