Hi Everyone!
Today I am sharing some cards 
for Pink & Main Stamps.
For my cards, I used the new Easter Peeps to make some fun square cards. These can still fit into an standard A2 envelope because they measure 4.25 x 4.25 inches.
I made 4 cards using each little chick from this set.


For my cards, I followed a card sketch featured this month on a Scrapbook.com challenge.


I decided to make the cute chicks the focal point of each card.
I stamped them out then colored them using Copic Markers.
Then I added some accents with stickles, Wink of Stella, glossy accents and a white gel pen.

Hi Everyone!
Today I am sharing a card using the new "Hello Sweet" stamp set from the January Pink & Main Release.

Hello Sweet





I made a shaker card with a purple theme. 



How fun is that Twine lollipop? My best friend, Stacey made that for me and I've been waiting for the perfect project 
to use it. I just love it! 
This card was fairly simple to put together. I wanted the sentiment to be the star. The font is just gorgeous! 
I started by cutting my frame with two stitched rectangle dies then cut a piece of standard vellum to fit. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiments. I filled the shaker portion with several different sequins, regular, hearts and stars.
I added a few to the outside of the shaker portion to embellish. Then I added my fun lollipop to accent the sentiment. This is all attached to a pre-made card 
base from Pebbles.

Hi Everyone! 
I'm back today to share a card for a 
few challenges going on right now.
The first one is the current 

Aren't those colors so fun??

The next challenge is the current My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #264.

Awesome sketch, right?

Here is my take on the sketch using The Whole Herd again!
I just love this set, can you tell?? :)



Love that super cute little pig 
and how fun is that sentiment??
This card was pretty easy to put together. I stamped and colored the pig with copic markers then I cut the patterned paper and die cut a circle window to fit the pig. 
I heat embossed the sentiment in white and added some natural twine. Then I finished the card 
with some white faux stitching.
Thank you so much for stopping by today

Hi Everyone!
Happy Hump day! 
Today I am sharing a card I made for one 
of the current card sketch challenges over at
Scrapbook.com for January.


Here is my take on the sketch using some of the 


First, I heat embossed the sentiment and the background (the snowflakes) then I took some scraps from the kit that I had from previous cards and adhered those down in the pattern.
Next, I added some snowflakes, also in the kit, with a few clear rhinestones.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!!

Hi Everyone! 
Yesterday I saw several cards from my crafty friends using the current My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch 263. So I thought it would be fun to play along. 
The challenge ends today at Noon EST. 
Nothing like last minute huh?! 

Update: I posted this just a tad bit too late.

Here is the sketch:

I had a few of these cute chicks stamped out on my desk from yesterday's Card Harmony project so I thought these would be fun to use. Of course, from The Whole Herd 
from My Favorite Things.



The cute mama Chicken and her chicks were stamped with MFT Hybrid Black Licorice ink and colored with copic markers. The background of the card is a Chicken Wire stamp from Peachy Keen stamps that is no longer available. I sponged the card base and chicken panel with Vintage Photo distress ink. Then I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment in white. 

Everyone knows I love my chickens, all 19 of them!! 
Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day!

Hi Everyone!! 
Today I am sharing a project for 
the Trendy Twine design team.
I am sharing some DIY Pocket Scrapbooking (Project Life style) cards using several of Annie's Paper Boutique Planner stamps. I made three cards, two of the "Weekend" one because I thought it would also work perfectly in my MAMBI Happy planner.





I took the Stitched Journal die (Lawn Fawn) and for my cards but first I added the borders, using the Speech bubble border die (Lawn Fawn) and the Stitched Borders 1 die (Pretty Pink Posh), then I added some stamping to each card using the stamp sets. I heat embossed the "Today I'm Feeling" with white embossing powder to make it pop on the Melon Mambo cardstock. I used the Check It Off set for the lines, 'To Do List' and Notes. Then added some Totally White Trendy Twine with a bow for a little decoration and a strip of washi tape on the other cards. I think these will be perfect to journal on or just as filler cards and to punch and add to a planner.

Hi Everyone!
Today is the third Monday of January, 
so you know what that means?
Card Harmony time with my bestie Stacey.
This month Stacey picked The Whole Herd from 
My Favorite Things stamps and a Sketch.




Here is the card I created using both of these.



This stamp set and sketch were so fun to work with. 
I loved it! These Farm animals and sentiments are the best!
I started by coloring my image with copic markers, after a bit of stamping and masking then I added all my paper layers and sentiments. Then finished it off with some burlap ribbon.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
Make sure to stop by Stacey's blog to see what she has created with these two!! 
Have a great day!!

Hi Everyone! 
Today I am sharing a card using a new Pink and Main set, True Love.
I wanted to keep these cards fairly Clean and Simple to let the sentiment be the star of the card. Isn't that font just beautiful? 


I made two card with this set, one with light kraft cardstock (Crumb cake) and one with darker kraft card stock (Recollections). I stamped the sentiment in white pigment ink them heat embossed it with some white embossing powder. I stamped the 'Always & Forever' in real red ink below it. Then I scattered some small hearts on the card and accented those with some Wink of Stella glitter and Glossy Accents.

Hi Everyone!! 
Today I am sharing a project for the Trendy Twine
 design team.
This month the team is featuring 
Raspberry Cupcake Trendy Twine.
I made a Love themed card that can be used for Everyday, Anniversary, or Valentine's Day. 

I used a stencil from American Crafts for the sentiment and hand stitched the word "Love" and the little envelope with a few different Trendy Twines.
The 'Hello' is from the Valentine's Day Printable and the sequins are from the Frosty Sequin mix.

I just love this cute little envelope with the heart seal! 

These colors are just perfect for any love or Valentine's themed card.
