So I made this some time back and ever since then have thought I would get another one done to have 2 samples…. OH how I make myself laugh haha as if that was ever going to happen!  But the stamps used on this card and some of the other Pink Ladies and Pink guests used them as well they are coming to Tickled Pink Stamps very SOON….  And designed by a very talented stamp and blog designer Heather Rolin…  Heather will be designing cute little images along with many sentiments.  You can never have to many sentiments RIGHT and cute images are just another PLUS.  They can be used on their own, mixed with other stamps etc the list is truly endless.  OK now onto the sketch this month OH no wait do you want to know what you can WIN….?

YUP a whole $50 to spend over at Tickled Pink Stamps HERE…. WOOT WOOT what a PRIZE hey!  So now onto the sketch this month….

And here is the card I came up with using the sketch.  This was my VERY first circle easel card and then I have made one with Hansel after that as I love them and look out for some MORE soon….

**Not the best photo, let’s blame the camera hehe, and I can’t use flash because of the acetate**

And this is my VERY late What’s on your Work Desk Wednesday, another thing I was going to post about BUT never got to.  Now this is not really crafty but this is when I ‘WAS’ trying to make a card with no mojo and every time I went to grab ribbon etc I would have something latch onto my hand …..

Wyatt, he just loves being with me and all you can hear is the puuurrrrr.  And do you want to know what would happen if I turned my back on him or walked out of the room to grab something….

Such a cheeky lil bugger isn’t he!

Thanks so much for stopping by and take care…THINK PINK…

Today is my middle girl, but I call her little still and call Chloe whom is younger my bubba girl, which she is starting to say NO I’m a big girl….NOOOOOO stay little forever, haha.  So it’s Heidi’s birthday, she is the BIG 4 and is watching one of her presents, bet you can’t guess that it’s Coraline, hehe!

So as some of you may know a month ago or so Kristy aka Princess house was flooded, well on Saturday she rang me and it had started again.  I told her to get straight onto SES as her hubby is away with the army for a MONTH!  Her neighbors, sisters and SES all came to help her and stopped it from getting in the house.  And cut loooong story short my hubby said why don’t you go and surprise her *sweetest hubby in the world isn’t he*, she could use the company, so I text her saying could I ring her really late, like 10.30 pm and she said yeah course I can, and instead I showed up on her door step….. She was soooo excited and better yet I bought chocolate, hehe!

So before that, I had only just made my Magnolia Down Under Challenges card, had no time to take photos and the weather here was DARK and yucky the photos looked shocking.  The blog post was all over the place so when we woke Sunday morning, Kristy added my photo for me and we fixed up the blog as the font would NOT behave itself, lol and was going MASSIVE instead of just large, lol.  No matter how much we both played with it….

Any ways just reminder we have moved the challenge blog to HERE….
