Pink by Design New Release Hop!


Hi and welcome to Pink by Design's new release blog hop! If you didn't come here from Paula's blog then you'll want to check out the list below to make sure you hit every stop!


Meriah – www twoscraptasticgals blogspot com
Sabrina - www.sabrinaalery.blogspot.com - YOU ARE HERE


I am sharing this card created with the Lucky Half Pint set. There are so many great sentiments on this mini and it has many more uses than just Saint Patty's Day (although there is one for it too!) For this card, I chose the sentiment and let it inspire the rest of the card.

I started with a die cut heart and layered nested circles underneath for a bit different take on a rainbow. The airplane paper seemed to go well with the grid paper so I added that and then the arrows last. Maybe it's a bit of a hot mess and too literal but I really kinda like it :)

Here's a couple more from the sneak week on the Pink by Design Blog:


A cute boy card using the Dino-Mite set designed by Lisa Norris.


And a pretty girly card using the large sized sentiment from Say It Boldly.

Can't wait to pick up the rest of the releases!! Here's what else you need to know about the hop and release today:

* New releases are in the shop today - check them all out right here

* U-Stream tonight hosted by Sarah with a round-up of all the projects and new releases. She will be doing an Easter craft and you know she'll have lots of giveaways too so don't miss it!

* Giveaways to the hop! But I won't say where. Check them all!

And now it's on to Gloria's Goofy Craft Spot! Hope to *see* you tonight and if not, have a wonderful weekend!

Valentine's Day Hop with Pink by Design


Hello and Happy Valentine's! The Pink by Design team is celebrating today with a little blog hop.

Did you come here from Rebekah's? If not, you'll want to go back to the beginning of the hop because Sarah is giving away a huge bundle of stamps!! You have to comment on each stop to win -see the list below to make sure you've stop by each one.


I made this spring-y feeling valentine with some fun colors and the Joyful Tags stamp set and papers from SEI. I just love the way the sentiment pops off the navy paper when embossed in white! What a pretty script font that this set uses as well.

Visit the PBD blog next and have a wonderful day!

Tag Advent Calendar


Hey there! How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was delish - we made the turkey this year and celebrated at my husband's grandparents. We ended up slow roasting it over night (at 1:30am no less) and it turned out amazing! Falling off the bone and not the least bit dry. Will certainly be doing that from now on.

In the midst of all of the dinner prep last week, I snuck in some time to put together an advent calendar for the Clearsnap blog + 3 video tutorials on assembling the whole thing. So fun and really got me in the mood for Christmas time! 

Check out the entire post here.

Some other scrappy stuff that's going on...


The new holiday theme is up at Paper Issues, so generously sponsored by Reminisce. Link up, comment to win and take the hop for a little holiday inspiration. The Cyber Monday sale is on through tonight in the Paper Shop - use my code STAMP for 30% off everything in the store!!


Pink by Design is also having a fabulous sale - 60% off retiring sets and 35% off everything else! What a steal! Pick up some new stamp sets while they last!

Thankful For You Friend


My boys in camo.

I am going to have to start posting our photos and notes here to come back and reference as it seems my mommy brain is letting our memories slip through the cracks! And I never get around to posting photos to Facebook.

Tyler is so proud and loves being able to impart all of his man knowledge onto the boys. Love them <3


Today I have another card to share for the Pink by Design challenge theme. More gingham! But you can link up with any pattern that is your favorite. Add your card to the linky for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the PBD store!




I used the Everyday Banners stamp set (quickly becoming a favorite) along with the Gingham Background to create this thankful card. The vellum is stamped with Colorbox Chalk Ink in Chestnut Roan and heat set to dry. The color combo came from a Fiestaware display at Younkers - love those colorful dishes!

Am also linking up to these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp - Thanksgiving/thank you.
My Mind's Eye - Gratitude

 Have a great day!

Fall Always Love You


Happy Monday! My little babe is now at the 3 week old mark and I'm finally feeling like things will be back on a schedule soon. Not quite yet but I am starting to see it on the horizon :)

This is a layout I created for the last theme over at Paper Issues - Fall'n For Flair, sponsored by A Flair For Buttons.  Sadly the page was finished waiting for photos and I only got to finish it this weekend. Better late than never!


The photos are some I took via Instagram on school picture day and the product is mostly valentine's day stuff inked and altered to give it a more weathered, autumn-y look.

There are a few goodies snuck in too from my Last Summer Romance kit in the PI shop - only 2 left in stock!


Our little sweeties. However did we get so lucky to have such good looking kids? I bet every mom says that :)

Have a great day!

World Card Making Day!


Hello and happy world card making day! It's been pretty busy around our house with a new little boy babe these past couple weeks so I probably won't have a chance to craft along with you all today but I do have a card to share and some good stuff to give away too so keep reading!



This is a card I made one night after reading the kids In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak before bed. After they finished giggling about the naked boy in the story and settled in, I snuck off and put together this card inspired by the image on the very last page. It kind of has a 70's vibe, do you think? My great grandma used to have a bunch of these odd sized cards with funky images on the front from that era. Plus the sun rays kind of look like an afro :)

Okay so onto the giveaway, but first to support a couple company's that I love....


Post your cards onto the Paper Issues FB page for a chance to win one of 4 $20 gift certificates to the Paper Shop! Woot Cassie!!


Pink by Design is also doing a challenge to celebrate the day for cards other than your typical A2 size. Stop by the blog to link up your square, easel and gatefold cards.


And I am giving away this half pint set called What's Your Number - super cute right?! Also a box full of card-making goodies from my stash - didn't have a chance to take a pic so it'll just have to be a surprise :) A mystery box!!

If you would like to be entered to win, please leave a comment below about anything you'd like, and if you are not already a follower of this blog, then please become one! I'll keep entries open through Monday night.

Have a wonderful day of card crafting!!

Fall'n for Flair Blog Hop

Well hello there! Today is the new theme day at Paper Issues and a few of us are hopping to share our fall projects with sweet flair so generously sponsored by A Flair For Buttons. Shelly has a shop stocked full of the cutest flair buttons and bonus! - she's an Iowa girl too!!

Check out the shop and use the code ILOVEPAPERISSUES for 10% off your order!


I created this birthday card for a little boy with a lego/storm trooper guy from the Sci Fi Characters 2 set. We have a certain young man in the house who will soon turn 6 and is planning to be a police officer - this character could double as a cop, right?



And another card - this one is a elegant, girly take on Halloween using a witch image from Vintage Halloween 2. A butterfly die cut can double as a bat I think. 

Check out the rest of fantastic projects from the DT below.


Sabrina - you are here
Kate - go here next!

Be sure to stop by the Paper Issues blog to link up your projects and find out the details for winning the blog hop prize. Visit the Paper Shop to pick up some new goodies as well!

Tuesday Trigger: Sunshine Fragments


Hello. Just popping in briefly today to post a card I created for the current Moxie Fab Trigger. Had to sit down and create as soon as I laid eyes on the inspiration piece :)


Used PTI's currently released Sunshine set (not sure of the name off hand) and the same colors from the photo but in different increments. Oh and lots of colors of Colorbox's Premium Dye Inks too!

Here is the inspiration piece. Have a great weekend!!

Spotlight on Smooch


Wow! Can you beleive July is already here? We celebrated with some friends and fireworks last night and on Saturday I met up with a couple girls from the Pink by Design team to scrap and shop. Such a fun weekend!

Anyways - yesterday on the Clearsnap blog there was a feature for Smooch Accent Inks, which are a really fun product - basically little nail polishes for your craft needs and come in a ton of colors. Find out more about Smooch and see all the different ways the design team likes to use them on this post.

I made the card above by embossing a stamped image and coloring in with Smooch. The stamps are from Stampendous (flowers), Pink by Design (gingham) and Papertrey Ink (button bits).

Have a great week!

PTI June Blog Hop


Hello and happy Monday! Hoping your weekend was great. This is my very first time participating in a PTI blog hop but this inspiration photo and colors were just so too good to pass up :) I must say that this card ended up in a very different place than the design originally in mind but I made my mistakes work and am still happy with the card that resulted.


Most of the papers and embellishments on here are scraps from off my desk and I just could not get the box pleats to work at all so went with a scalloped border instead. Will be on the lookout for any tips on pleating paper! Also pulled the gray from the photo and added just a touch of orange since those little butterflies where already stamped and looked so cute added in!


And here is the original inspo piece. View all the entries in the hop here.


In other news, we visited the Science Center for the first time this weekend - really fun even though the kids are just a little too young to fully enjoy and understand everything they were discussing during the programs and experiments.


And I also made it to 27 weeks! Its getting a bit uncomfortable and things like bending over and picking up little ones are awkward but I have a feeling the rest of the time is going to fly by. Crossing fingers at least ♥

MIM#71 - Chevron Thanks


It's been awhile since I've played along with PTI's Make it Monday, but I really needed to use the chevron stripes set - it's been sitting on the shelf untouched for several months! This week's technique was bordered sentiments. I love that it gives the impression of a single layer, pre-printed card. Rather than a straight border, I traced the edges of a die-cut around the sentiment, then embossed with leaves from Rosie Posie.

And that's all :)

Bees, Butterflies, Babies and Birthdays

Hello. I have a few card challenges to post today. Gonna make it quick, hope you don't mind :).



First up, a card for a new baby boy inspired by CFC35 - scallops. I've been wanting to try the decreasing apertures technique for awhile now and decided to give it a go with my scalloped circles die.

The sentiment is from a new Design Adhesive design - Sweet Pea, and is embossed with the Truffle Mix'd Media Inx embossing powder. Also had to add a little sparkle to the bees wings with Smooch Glitz.



The second card is a two-fer, utilizing both the technique from MIM#49 and the color combo from PDCC114. Perhaps not colors I would normally think to pair together but I think my sister's grandma will enjoy on a card for her birthday. In fact I think all my grandmas like red and purple.

I had to stamp this card 3 times before finally getting the ghost masking to work for me! A more challenging technique but the results are worth the effort. For a twist, I stamped the butterfly last and embossed the section out side the frame for a touch of dimension.

Dye inks from the SB for Colorbox line are - Strawberry, Grape, Avocado and Licorice. Pigment ink in Gold. Stamps from PTI, Jenni Bowlin, and Pink Paislee.

Have a lovely Tuesday!
