Pink Pink Pink!

****second posting today scroll down for Pink Cat Studio New release

Hello &  Welcome to another funtastic challenge at The Pixie Dust Studios Challenge! Today we want to see you use pink, the rest is up to you! I chose to use a digi from a few releases back called The Pearls of Wisdom.

I paper pieced her dress to bring in the pink and strategically placed her over a large butterfly to create a fairy. Do you think it worked?  I then rummaged through all my pink supplies and wound up with this lovely rickrack and a few buttons as well as this great dp from Basic Grey.
Here are few challenges I'd like to enter this card :
City Crafter  Hearts
Creative Card Crew  Cute & Girlie
Party Time Tuesday  Anything Goes
Flutterby Wednesday  Open

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to see the rest of the DT creations:

4 days and still counting...

School is drawing nearer and with this I will soon to find my sanity again! I love my little villains don't get me wrong however they are becoming restless and less tolerant of each other as the days goes by. They need more stimulation more food for thought to be sure...
So let's celebrate the starting of school with these fun images Melissa Created for the Pink Cat Studio's newest release. I chose to play with Back To School Betty she is so cute! Here is my card:

You are so sweet to give me the honor this week at My Grafico's Challenges! I won the cutest digi set from Zenware Designs:

I cannot wait to play with these cuties! Only 8 days til my wonderful darlings are back in school but who's counting? ME!!!

Now thats a load of paper!

I just found an incredible candy - wonderful and talented and happily mad (lol) Amy decided to keep track of how many sheets of paper she cuts into and it took her only a bit longer than one year to reach her goal of 1000!!!

To celebrate she is giving away 1000 sheets of 6x6 paper to 5 winners and also LOADS of stamps - head over to her blog and check it out!!!

***3rd posting today scroll down for more 

Today is a very special day as Your Next Stamp is celebrating its very 1st birthday with a Birthday Blog Hop!

The YNS Starlets are being joined by some fabulous friends for this Hop, and together we are showcasing some fantastic new release stamps as well as some firm favourites!  These new stamps are available to buy from today from Your Next Stamp, along with all your YNS favourites.

If you'd like to participate in the Hop and you didn't arrive here from Cabio's  blog, please CLICK HERE to return to the start of the hop at Karen's blog, as I'm sure you don't want to miss out on all the fun we have for you today!

The Hop starts today (Thursday, August 5th at 08:00 EST) and ends on Wednesday August 11th at midnight (EST).

We have not one but two grand prizes for you to win - two lucky winners will be drawn at random to each receive a $25 gift certificate to spend on YNS stamps!  WOW!  As the prize is so fantastic, we are going to make you work a little to enter, LOL!  Each Starlet and Guest Starlet have a letter hiding in their blog post.  All you need to do is gather these letters, rearrange them to form a 3-word phrase, and then email this phrase to Karen.  All correct entries will be entered into the grand prize draw.  So make sure you Hop around every blog and remember to leave a comment at every stop too.

My secret letter is .... I know you know it already but yes, it's H

All that cake must have affected Karen as she has gone a little crazy and is holding a 20% off sale for the duration of the Hop - the crazy part is that everything will be reduced by 20%, including items already on sale!  I'm not sure when (or even if!) this will happen again, so make sure you hop on over to the YNS store once you've completed the Hop and fill your basket!

I have used the Star Cuties stamp for my blog Hop creation .....  

  I also pulled out the stars from Yippee Fhiona Set and the Birthday sentiment from Fhiona and Her Pony Maggie

So now it's time for you to Hop on over to Cindy's  blog as she is the next stop on our Hop, but don't forget to grab my hidden letter first and also leave me a comment!

Thanks so much for Hopping with us today!  I hope you enjoy our birthday celebrations and new stamps! Beth

Ella's Pink Scrapbook Challenge # 19

Hello Happy Thursday to you! Today I will have a total of three posts so please check back if you can! Ella's Pink Scrapbook Challenge for this week is:

We want to see the ever growing in polarity punched borders, 2 Patterned Papers & Buttons. Now I must admit the only border punch I own is the drippy paint on and I faked the scallops with my corner rounder but what's done is done!:

I loved this beach in Progresso, Mexico it was made up of coral and seashells, the kids couldn't believe they were sitting o piles of shells.I came across a bit of tile that had worn down from the waves and shells, I forgot all about it until yesterday when it surfaced amongst the pictures. I wanted to create something fun with the tile so I stamped on it using StazOn, wrapped some hemp around it and imcorporated a buttom. Here is a close up:

Well thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out the rest of the design Team! Come back now! Beth
