Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge #30

This week's challenge at my favorite Pink place is "SHAPED CARD NOT A SQUARE"  I finally got the TH clock die, so I decided to go with ROUND.  I've also been meaning to break out one of my old favorite paper pads... Good Ole' G45's Steampunk Debutante (oh so lovely paper!), and I've been playing with some of the newer Lindy's Stamp Gang sets (Drink Me Silly's Fuzzy Navel & My Mojito Green)... threw it all together and "TaDaaaa"
This is what I've got...

Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge #30

Thanks for stopping by for a quick peek! I'll be posting again soon, just finishing up some cards I'm making for my swap with Friday'sCreations & DaileyScrapper!

Graphicat's AUGUST Sketch Challenge!

"Top Cat" Cheri strikes again this month with another lovely sketch, and here it is:

Here's my take...  I used one of Cheri's delightful lil' digital sentiments:

This week's projects & challenges...

I'm feeling super productive this week! I finally finished my tags for Linda's (ScrapChica) Tag Swap! Here they are:

Front of The Greeting Farm themed swap tag. (Sorry Linda, I know they're suppose to be exactly the same,
but since we were making nine, I took this chance to practice hair coloring!)
I love my raven haired beauty best, I added a little
blue and really liked the look :)

Linda asked that the back of the tag include a
"baseball trading card" kind of look to it.
So I added a mini image and put some info about the stamp on the back.

The next project is a card for another couple of challenges I'm joining:

Challenge #2 - Kellie's sketch

and

Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge #29

Last, is a little sneak peek of a Lindy's Stamp Gang Design Team project I'm working on.  LSG is about to release a new set of shimmery goodness!  The set is called "Naughty&Nice" and you've probably seen the color on FB or the website (which by the way has a whole knew look! Take a look HERE.)  And if you haven't seen them yet, here they are (love the playful names, heehee!)

Back so soon...

Yes, here I am, back so soon! Hahaha! Just finished another project that I want to submit for another couple of challenges, and I'm terribly close to missing the deadline so here it is:

I created this little bugger for two challenges.

First, Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge #28 

The challenge was to make it 

CUTE... WITH A BUTTERFLY

LOL! Well, I think this is pretty darn cute,

and I used the BoBunny Gabrielle Collection

which is just chuck full 'o butterflies!

Second, Pink {INK} Sketch Challenges

This is their first challenge and

the sketch is awesome!

Oh! And guess what? I made that flower myself! I was inspired by my friend Friday after she gave me a little treat bag filled with goodies, and adorned with an adorable hand-made crocheted flower.  Well, I can't crochet, and I'm not very good at sewing, but I gave it a shot anyway!  Goodness, I worked all day (okay, not counting breaks for eating, restroom, and mid-day nap lol!) and came up with 4 flowers.  The one I used here consists of lace, tulle, and a single pearl.  I sewed it all together, and I'm pretty proud of the results... I'll post the others soon, ACTUALLY... I'll go ahead and post them now... woohoo, I'm on a rollllll, on fire! Just like the Japanese goalie of the women's soccer team... LMAO!  Okay maybe NOT that HOT! But here it is, let me know what you think!

I made this one for Friday.  I was going for Shabby Chic... what do y'all think?

This one was for my sister. 

And these are all 4, I only have one left that's not been used yet.

Well, my friends, thanks for stopping by again! Please leave a comment!

have meet YOU!
Next, and slightly more difficult (7 things that won't put y'all to sleep, lol!)
