MOJO 147 - Baby Girl Card

Seems like the month of July is birthing many babies with many families that I know.  So... here is Baby Girl Card I made.. following the Monday MOJO sketch # 147.  I knew I wanted to have pink in the color combo... but wanted a contrast color as well. After fumbling a bit... it turned out to my satisfaction.  Thanks for looking!!

Cardstock:  Lovely Lilac, Pretty in Pink, Gable Green, Tea Party DSP

CPS # 175 - Thank you Card

This is a card I made to submit for the CPS - Sketch # 175 challenge.  I sort of stumbled across this wonderful blog (Card Positioning Systems) ... and the sketch got my wheels turning.  This is also a card I am giving to a long time friend who went out of her way to make a new blankie for my son who has "Loved" his other one to pieces.  (Literally)  Enjoy!!

My First Blog Candy Win!! Yahoo!!

Hi All!  Just adding a quick tidbit about my first ever winnings of some super fun Blog Candy from Ms. Gabyangel over at scrapabookaholic.blogspot.com.  :-)  I am just a little excited!! 
I would include the link... but my computer is not happy with alot of links.  Gaby's blog was one of the first that I started to follow.  Her type of scrapbooking is a very clean, simple, elegant approach with that just right over the top "Punch" to make it all just POP.  I love her style for inspiration.  I highly suggest you check her out if you haven't already. 
Thanks Gaby!!  Now off to get my craft on!! (Had a busy... fun weekend.)

My Pink Stamper Challenge - HOO's 40 Birthday Card

First of all... HAPPY BIRTHDAY USA!! 
This is also the year that most of my close friends turn 40.  And speaking from experience... it's actually darn good! (It's the new 25!!  :-)  ) 
I decided to make this birthday card following Robyn over at her challenge @ Mypinkstamper.  The challenge is to use PINK, ORANGE, GREEN and BROWN as the color combo throughout.  This is one of my favorite color combinations... so this was fun to do!!  Thanks for looking.
