More My Pink Stamper New Release!

I'm taking a minute to sit down and blog one more time before moving day.  Ack - I really hate packing.

Have you been enjoying this new release from My Pink Stamper?  One of the things that I am SO looking forward to about moving is my new craft space.  It's going to be so wonderful to have my own little space again - just in time to start producing for Christmas!

The set that I am featuring today is Lunchbox Thoughts:

Aren't they so fun?  I just love all the fun, tender, thoughtful sentiments that she has in this set.  Here are a couple of little "love notes" that I have made to stash in my daughters' lunches.

Stamps:  My Pink Stamper Lunchbox Thoughts
Cricut Cartridge:  Preserves - I used the Gypsy to enlarge the leaf in the lighter green
Paper:  AC Cardstock, Stampin Up
Embellishments:  Offray ribbon

Stamps:  My Pink Stamper Lunchbox Thoughts
Cricut Cartridge:  Simply Charmed - I used the hide contour feature on the Gypsy to remove the face
Paper:  AC Cardstock, Stampin Up
Embellishments:  Diamond Glaze

It may be a week or so before I post again with the move, but I promise I'll be back!  See you soon.

My Pink Stamper Design Team - October

Welcome!  I am so excited you have joined me today for the My Pink Stamper Design Team post for the month of October.  If you arrived here on your own today, I invite you to stop by My Pink Stamper so you can see all the wonderful design team submissions.

It's that time of year again!  Here it means that the whether has turned a little cold, the leaves are starting to fall from the trees, and my mind inevitably starts to think of Christmas.  Isn't it wonderful that in the crafting world we have that extra reason to start celebrating early - we need time to prepare after all!  I wish I could say that all of my Christmas cards are done, all of the cards I will be giving as gifts are done, and I'm ready to sit back and have a relaxing holiday season.  Maybe some day!  Some day when I'm not moving in a week...

The stamp set that I am featuring today is Winter Treats & Sayings:

I LOVE this set!  I love Christmas, and I especially love to bake at Christmastime.  I love to give treats for Christmas, and it's just so much more fun when there's a cute stamp to tie things all together.  This set is so versatile - perfect for tags, cards, you name it!  If you would like to find out where you can purchase this and other wonderful My Pink Stamper sets, click here.

What an exciting day!

Not only do we have new Cricut cartridges to look at from this month's Hello Thursday release from Provo Craft, but Robyn at My Pink Stamper has also released 8 new stamp sets!




First, the My Pink Stamper release.  What is really exciting is Robyn now has a QR code on the back of each stamp set.  So if you have an iPhone or Smart phone (of which I have neither - so I'll just pretend I know what I am talking about!), download the free app and then you'll be able to watch an exclusive video of Robyn making a project with that stamp set!  Technology is so cool.

Now on to Hello Thursday.  They have released 13 new cartridges this month!  If I had to choose favorites, I'd have to say Ribbons & Rosettes, Sweater Weather, New Testament, and Paper Trimmings.  Although, I'm really excited that they have released a cartridge for Canadians - Go Canada!

Enjoy!

Good memories

Today's post is both sad and happy.  I found out that a dear friend of our family's passed away a couple of days ago.  Although we will miss her, this is not a sad occasion.  She was 92 years old and had lived a meaningful life of love and service.  I firmly believe that there is life after death, and that families can be together forever.  She has been reunited with her husband and I'm sure is ready to begin serving on the other side.

We will miss you Gertrude.

Cricut Cartridges:  Beyond Birthdays, George & Basic Shapes
Paper:  AC Cardstock, Roberts Crafts (silver foil), DCWV Lemon Flower Stack
Embellishments:  ribbon by Offray

Pinkalicious Blog Hop Friday!

Welcome!  I am so glad that you have joined me tonight for My Pink Stamper's Pinkalicious Blog Hop Friday.  If you arrived here from Tracy at Craft Junkie Too then you're in the right place.  If you arrived here on your own tonight, I invite you to hop over to My Pink Stamper so you can begin at the beginning, and then you'll be sure to see Robyn's and all the Pink Designer's wonderful projects.

Tonight is going to be such a fun hop because it is all about goodies!  Goodie bags can be so fun to make, fun to embellish, and of coarse so fun to eat.  We are foodies at my house, and with the holidays right around the corner you can bet that I am trying to think of new and creative ways to deliver my homemade goodies that I give as gifts.  You'll see that tonight's project is more of a goodie box than a goodie bag.  In fact, it's nine boxes - all stacked and ready to fill with various holiday treats.

I made the boxes using Tags, Bags, Boxes & More and my trusty Gypsy, cut at 8.5".  Using glue dots, I stuck all the boxes together so that the flaps would all open down - then whatever I put inside won't just fall out when the boxes are opened.  I used some wire-edged ribbon all around the outside of the boxes for a little extra help keeping them together, and of coarse for a festive touch.  All of the Cricut cuts came from the Winter Woodland cartridge.  What a gem it is!  I love this font, and all the snowflakes and scallops.

No gift is complete without a tag:

This tag was made using the My Pink Stamper set Yummylicious

I love this set!  And I know that I am going to get so much use out of it this holiday season.  If you would like to see the complete collection of My Pink Stamper sets, go here.  If you would like to find out where you can purchase these wonderful stamps, go here.
