JANUARY 23, 2012***MY PINK STAMPER FIRST EVER GUEST DESIGNER***

Hi Friends,

I have some more great news to share with all of you.

I am so honored to be Robyn’s of My Pink Stamper, guest designer (first ever) for January 2012.  First, Robyn was the main sponsor of my blog hop on New Year’s Day and then, I‘m asked to be guest designer. Whoot! Whoot! Is my year starting off good.

I know that Robyn’s birthday is next week, ( it is actually tomorrow I typed this up last week)so I decided to make her birthday card and present for this spot. Here they are.

I used Mothers day Bouquet to make the flowers and Blossom (IC) for the patterned paper. The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper’s “Lunch Box Thoughts”

The ink is Jenni Bowlin Brown sugar.

I used the Create-a Critter, and the Blossom (IC) pattern cartridge for this card. The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper “That’s Punny-licious”

This is a 5x7 card. The hippo is cut at 3”, the birdie @1” and the two ewes @ 2.

I just love the way this came out.

I used Jenni Bowlin stick candy ink and the googly eyes are darice.

I made this mini beaded match book album, with all of Robyn’s favorite things.

The journal tags are stamped with the sentiments from MY Pink Stamper “That’s punny–licious.” Stamp set the images on the tags are from the Nursery tails cartridge. Happy Birthday Robyn!—I can’t surprise her now.

 I hope all of you enjoyed my projects for the guest designer spot at Robyn’s,  MY PINK STAMPER.

For those of you who want to see how I put the card together and a little more info about the stamps and materials used. Please go over to The Pink Stamper, I made a video it is over there on her site today.

I made the video last week.  I shipped the goods to her, she probably has them already. Tomorrow is her birthday, make sure to wish her a Happy Birthday and let her know I sent you. 

Thank you and have a blessed day, Diana

SATURDAY-AFTERNOON- Birthday Sundaes

I really had fun with this one, not only is it a belated birthday card I am at the 11th hour getting it into the challenge. I think this is the cutest little snail. I cut it at 3". It is very dimensional because I  cut the shadow three times.  The background paper is tiny stop watches. I used 5 different patterned papers and I do not think it looks too busy,  maybe due to the contrast of the slow snail? Food for thought. I used Sakura glaze pen for the eyes.

WEDNESDAY-MORNING

Hopefully you are all having a wonderful Wednesday so far. It is still early here on the West Coast
I'm working on the boy crazy stamp set now from My Pink Stamper this is the set that I won last month in the blog hop I am going to try to use every stamp on the set- I also have the Winter treats and Sayings set, which I will be working with in between the Boy Crazy set. I thought the B is for Boy went pretty good with this card . I must be on a baby card kick right now.
The blue background paper is DCWV, the hounds tooth is Teresa Collins, the clouds and the giraffes are printed from the imagine blast off cartridge. The giraffes are from the Zoobaloo cartridge and the clouds are from Create-a-critter.  I really wanted this cartridge when it first came out and then, when I got it, I thought I don't know if I'll use this the images are kind of simple-- Well. it turns out it is on my top favorite list, because it is so simple it is my go to cartridge.  Thanks for reading my chattereing.
hope you enjoy the card.

I made this one for the Die Cuttin' Divas challenge:  Zoo crazy

FRIDAY- MORNING

I hope you are all geared up for a wonderful weekend. I was pretty excited to make this for a few challenges. I am falling in love with create a critter, the cutest-easiest  images are on this cartridge.

I have a crazy, busy day today. I am still researching health clubs in the area.I am so sore, I have done Zumba, reformer Pilates,stair stepper, treadmill, spin class, elliptical weights-- the steam and the sauna were the easiest.

I did get a complimentary massage, that was pretty nice. Oh well, back on the treadmill of life today my search continues, in between grocery shopping laundry and hair appointment

I used 4 cartridges to make this card

Beyond birthdays, wild card, create a critter and blossom.

I am entering this into

THURSDAY-- Creat-a-Critter with MPS stamp set punny-licious

These critters just keep coming-- not to worry I only have a few more stamps left to use. This is so fun, to use a set of stamps, completely. I will try to do this with every set. I'm not saying I will, I will just try. It is a good way to make use of the purchase by having a goal for them. Hope you enjoy I will see you later. I have another posting I will be doing.

SATURDAY

Good Morning Everyone,

I don't know if this has happened to you before, I posted my design for a challenge, but forgot to link it up, it was still fun to do, But it was Flaunt it Fridays last week. I'll have to keep on top of myself in the future.
Then, the good news is ---
I WON over at the Creative Cutter Room with this one in a random drawing click  HERE for the link. The prize  April showers cartridge,  which I am very grateful for and it is one I do not have. There were 26 entries. Your chances of winning something are always increased if there are less people entered. That brings me to ---------- There are only 10 entries in the Celebrate The Occasion right now, if you are up for the challenge I'd say give it a try CLICK HERE,  
CTO ends tomorrow at 11:59- Creative cutter Room has a mothers day challenge that ends in 10 days- and no one has entered that one as of this post.

TIME FOR TEA

That little critter character that I found in my scrap pile has made its way into a Tea card. This is from a Child's year  The  card  creative feature I used K& Co. double sided paper for the card and for the inside I cut another card in white and used half of it.  The card itself is 51/2 and the critter is 3 inches I used the G studio glitter glue on the heart and Stickles (black diamond) on the antennas. The ribbon at the top is from Michaels  the $1 bins.  I was so inspired from all the links over at MPS for the hop that I had to do a card tonight.
