NSD Challenge #8 - Summer!

** Giveaway info here  **

I'm getting there - really I am!  I think all the challenges at My Pink Stamper for this year's National Scrapbook Day celebration were just fabulous and I want to do them all, but a few things have been getting in my way.  My girls had auditions with our local community theater for a few hours on Saturday, and then yesterday was Mother's Day of coarse, and then on top of it all I am having a major allergy attack!  I love spring, but spring does not love me!  LOL!

I am so excited to show you my first card using Peachy Keen Stamps!  I have been wanting some of the Peachy Keen face stamps for over a year now, and so I when I got some money for my birthday I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.  You could say that this is a card of favorites:  my favorite color (red), my favorite paper company (Doodlebug Design), my favorite stamps (My Pink Stamper), and my favorite new toy (Peachy Keen Face stamps).

Stamps:  My Pink Stamper Fruit & Veggie Puns, Peachy Keen Stamps Wide Eyed Kids Face Assortment
Cricut Cartridge:  Preserves
Paper:  Doodlebug Design, AC Cardstock
Edge Punch:  Martha Stewart Scallop Dot
Embellishments:  Doodlebug Design (cherries brad), American Crafts (ribbon)

Happy Mother's Day!

**Giveaway info here **

I'm so glad that one of the NSD challenges over at My Pink Stamper was to make a Mother's Day project!  I have two wonderful mothers in my life - my mother, and my mother-in-law.  So I was glad to have the opportunity to make them something special and take the time to recognize them today.

OK, OK, I know - they're pretty much the same card, just different colors.  It was a blast preparing the samples for Robyn's new stamp release and for National Scrapbook Day, but it was exhausting!  I needed to simplify a little, but that's where having great paper and a great cut comes in so handy!

Stamp:  My Pink Stamper Love-a-licious
Cricut Cartridge:  Florals Embellished
Paper:  AC Cardstock, DCWV (The Blossom Song Stack), American Traditional Design (yellow floral paper), Paper Pizazz (green gingham)
Decorated Edge:  Martha Stewart
Embellishments:  Offray (pink satin ribbon), American Crafts (white ruffle ribbon), DCWV (buttons), Stickles, linen thread

More My Pink Stamper New Releases!

And the fun continues with another new set from My Pink Stamper called Biggie Punnies!  I love all of Robyn's "punny" sets - they're just so fun and work so well with Cricut cartridges.  This set is one of her larger 6 x 8 sets.
