My Pink Stamper NSD Challenge 5

This challenge was really tough for me!  I love making altered items but there was no way I could do it in an hour.  So I decided to just try to make something off of one of the cricut cartridges...I chose Wrap It Up.  I made a little box to go a long with my mother's day card and cut out a rose to put on top of it.  I know...It's way too plain but I was running out of time!  So here it is :)

My Pink Stamper NSD Challenge 4

This challenge was to make a Mother's Day project.  Since I took some time to eat and still wanted to participate in the challenge so I went through my stash, pulled out some scraps of cardstock, some stickers, and stamps.  Here's the result.  The patterned cardstock is a scrap from the Club Ruby May kit as are the cardstock sticker letters, ribbon from my stash, stickers are American Crafts that I got awhile back from http://www.scrapbooksteals.com/ and I stamped my sentiment on the inside.  The stamp is from My Pink Stamper "Happiest Moments".  I put it in the bottom right to leave me room to write.  Hope everyone else is having a good time today too!

My Pink Stamper NSD Challenge 3

So for this challenge you had to make something (card, scrapbook page, 3D item, etc) that has a breast cancer theme.  Here's  my card.  I used cardstock from my stash, my I-Rock, cricut (I think the heart was from gypsy font but now I can't remember...eeek!), my cuttlebug and Pink by Design "Faith" stamp set.

I'm going to take a break and eat lunch now :)

My Pink Stamper NSD Challenge 2

Well I managed to get challenge #2 done and by 1.  It woudl have been posted by now except blogger was giving me fits.  The challenge was to make a card for a man using Kraft cardstock.  I used Kraft cardstock for the base, the patterned paper is from DCWV and all the other plain paper is from my stash.  The twine and the stamp are from Pink by Design.

And here's a little peek at what Oliver is doing....we're crafting together :)  I have a mess to clean up later.

My Pink Stamper NSD Challenge 1

To my credit it did take me less than an hour to do this BUT the photo taking and cleaning up after my 2 year old is adding to the time :)  Here's my card for the "Anything Cupcake" Challenge.
The Cupcake is from Birthday Bash cartridge and the papers are from the Club Ruby Designers May kit which I used cause it was on hand and accessible :)  The stamp is from Pink By Design "Take the Cake" set.

National Scrapbook Day!

I cannot believe it's been so long since I've posted.  Happy NSD!!  I look forward to this day every year.  Unfortunately it comes on the same day as the Kentucky Derby so I can't dedicate the day to scrapbooking cause there is partying to be done, but its going to be a great day anyway :) 

In about 25 minutes I am planning on following Robyn's, My Pink Stamper, blog and trying to participate in the challenges that I can.  Would you believe the grand prize is a Cricut Imagine??  Oh how I would love to have one.  I know people have had their problems with them but I just keep drooling over it.  I want one so badly!!

I have lots of upcoming posts of projects I've made.  I've been out of the loop for awhile due to having surgery a few weeks ago.  It wasn't any serious, but it was important....at least if you like breathing :)  I had my septum (which was completely blocking my right nostril) fixed and a bone growth cut out as well as some glands that were taking over my airway on the left side.  I will have to say that a few weeks after having it I can breathe SO much better.  It won't be my last surgery unfortunately.  I have to have sinus surgery too but that won't be for a few months to give me a chance to heal really well from this one.  My doctor was awesome....I had NO bruising and NO swelling at all, which was nice.  It was quite painful though and at the moment I have stitches inside my nose driving me nuts! Enough gross stuff though....

Long story short, I'm hoping I'm getting back into the swing of crafty things.  What better day to start than NSD!  Have a great day everyone!!

Test

This is just to see if my new computer is functioning.  This is only a test.
