Well I will be back soon with cards and more, but I just had to let you all know that Tickled Pink Stamps is looking for a celebrity guest for our new release of Lil Lolita Stamps coming SOON….  Want to know more?  OF course you do, jump on over HERE….. to read all the details.

Also I HAD to put word verification back on my blog.  I was getting NO lie 100-200 spam comments a DAY!  And I am thinking it was the cause of missing emails and sending some emails to spam a lot instead of my inbox.  It was causing all sorts of troubles and I now have over 3000 spam comments to delete and with my word press I can only delete 20 at a time, so long process!  I am so sorry as I know it can be annoying but since popping it back on, no spam, whoo hoo and emails are slowly running as normal, still some that get to spam instead of my inbox but should all be sorted soon.

Be back soon with The Stamping Bazaar and All That Scraps!

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…
