School Pinkettes - Heidi

It's the last day of School Pinkette previews today!! How have you been enjoying seeing the awesome projects from the DT? Have you guys been commenting on blogs along the way to be in with a chance of winning one of the digital stamps?! I sure hope so. :)

So last but not least we have the adorable School Pinkette Heidi

How awesome is she?! Love her little balancing act and her happy little smile. :) Ahhh these Pinkettes totally speak to me. They're a dream to colour up, and if you don't own any yet.. you best get your act together!


I've used some more papers from the Pink Paislee collection I found deep down in my collection (LOL!!) and added some stamping to my cardbase. I've used some delicious turquoise silk ribbon from The Ribbon Girl to cover up a little booboo I made. Heehee.

So here goes guys, be sure to stop by the Tickled Pink Stamps Blog to see what other awesomeness the DT have got for ya, then be sure to stop by the Tickled Pink Stamp Store tomorrow to pick these cuties up for yourself! Yippeee.

It's the new boy on the block - Jessie

Day Three of previews for the BRAND NEW Tickled Pink Stamps Pinkette release. How are you guys liking the new schoolies on the block so far?! I think there is something for everyone in this release! Next up is our boy!!

School Pinkette Jessie

Now first up, his name rocks my socks. I LOVE that name for a boy or a girl. Secondly, have you SEEN how swarve he's lookin'?! With his backpack and football at the ready?! Gaaahh!! What a cool guy. I've coloured him up using ProMarkers, fussy cut him out and adhered him to the card using dimensionals.


Have you guys got a certain sketch or layout that you ALWAYS go to when you're stumped for a starting point?! I have, and it's this one from Sketch Saturday.



I don't know what it is about it, it just always makes me wanna create!!

I've used some old papers from Pink Paislee and created a sentiment on word. I eventually got me a new colour cartridge, so there ya have it.

Hope you like this guy as much as me!! Take a look over at the TPS Blog to see what the other awesome Pinkette teamies have got for ya! Be sure to stop by tomorrow for the last preview before all of the images are released!

School Pinkettes - It's Kira!!

Hey guys, it's Day Two of School Pinkette previews over at Tickled Pink Stamps today. There are previews right through to the 4th, and then from the 5th you can pick these cuties up for yourself over at the Tickled Pink Stamps Store.

Let me introduce ya to School Pinkette Kira.
I can imagine her being the popular girl at school, with all of the looks and all of the grades. Lucky thing. I wish I had hair like hers too!! :) It's gorgeous.


I've coloured her using ProMarkers, naturally.. and stamped a 'Grow Everyday' sentiment from a Some Odd Girl set across her left (right) leg in Pretty in Pink ink from SU! I've used some papers from Fancy Pants and added some black seam binding and a cute pink hat pin to the bow. The circles have been cut from the patterned paper and I've added some pink liquid pearls to the inside.

DON'T FORGET - Leave a comment on each post for your chance to WIN this image (via digital download only).

Meet the new School Pinkettes - Chloe

Well blow me down. Better late than never, right?! Good job - 'cause I'm always friggin' late!!

So I guess by now you guys have all seen the first sneak of the brand new Pinkette Release? No, well get your ass over to Tickled Pink Stamps NOW and see what the awesome Guest Designer and even awesome-er (ha) Pinkette DT have got for ya today!!

School Pinkettes. We've got previews right through to the 4th then the whole release will be available over at the Tickled Pink Stamps Store from the 5th.

Today we are bringing you School Pinkette Chloe
This little girl is a real cutie. I love her short hair and her backpack! I guess she'd be the smartie at school, and stick in - like a good student! :)


I've coloured her up using ProMarkers and fussy cut her out. I decided to create a little clipboard, so I kept all of the embellishing flat and to a minimum. I've used a few slices of Pink Paislee patterned paper that I found in my stash. I cut up the little letter tiles and adhered them at a jaunty angle.

Be sure to stop back tomorrow and see what else we've got lined up for ya!!

Pastels

Evening.. almost morning. Early hours of. What's new?! Sorry I haven't been around much - I have missed a lot!! I know. Good news is I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Bad news is my laptop seems to be on it's last legs. The battery is totally pooped and the hole where my charger fits is totally loose - so my charger keeps falling out and cutting off the laptop - then when I go to turn it on again it takes like.. half an hour. I wish I was exaggerating. So obviously I've had trouble keeping up to date with everything and getting my cards for DTs in on time and stuff. Luckily all my boss ladies are nice girls! :)

Anyway, that isn't why you're here. You wanna see some cards right?! Well you might just be in luck. I've got two to share with ya today. I feel like I haven't blogged in freakin' ages. Probably because.. I haven't.

So first up is my card for the new challenge over at Pollycraft Monday.

Our lovely Joey wants to see..

SPRING HAS SPRUNG 

and here is my card using one of the gorgeous new Celeste Amberglow. :)


When you get a chance, head over to the challenge blog and take a look at what my awesome teamies have come up with to inspire ya! ;) You won't be disappointed.

*************************************************************

Next up (before I get a chance to waffle anymore.. I gotta get my ass to b-e-d).. 

I've got a little something I made.. just for me.. because I fancied it. It's nice to be able to do stuff like that now and again, I guess I should get off my laptop a little more often. It's amazing how much free time you have when you're not stuck on FB all day long.

I used, arguably, one of my fave ever digis.
It's one of the first ever Pinkettes from Tickled Pink Stamps.



I've coloured her up to play along with the new challenge over at Passion for ProMarkers this week. The amazing Vix wants to see Pastels. I used to really struggle colouring paler colours, but since the release of the new FlexMarkers from Letraset, it's a lot easier to achieve paler shades. :) Love how her jeans turned out.

That's it from me. Gonna test my luck and see if I can get on this piece of junk tomorrow morning to schedule a few more posts for through the week.

Tickled Pink Stamp Challenges

Here's the thing. I went over to the Ticked Pink challenge blog last night before bed, to upload my card for this challenge, and I was only a fortnight ahead of myself! HA! I nearly died. I was like.. uhhh, my card does not fit next fortnights challenge in any way, shape, or form. Luckily though, I did have my head screwed on when I wrote down the challenge criteria in my diary! :) Dya see the things that can happen when I ain't attached to the laptop while crafting?! It's dangerous.. but OH so more enjoyable.

So.. this week over at Tickled Pink Stamps we want to see..

SHABBY CHIC

Need some inspiration?! Check out the challenge blog for some inspirational pictures, and of course the gorgeous creations from the DT. Here is my take on the challenge.. you guys probably know I ain't too shabby chic-ish.. you know how it is. But I threw in a little bit of white cheesecloth from WOC and wham, bam.. you know the rest! ;)


 I used August, one of the lovely Party Pinkettes. I've coloured her with Copics and Promarkers and fussy cut her out. I adhered her to the card using dimensionals. I've used some bright paper (which isn't al that shabby chic, but I fancied it) from My Minds Eye Lime Twist collection. I've doodled some of the edges to tie the busy papers together.


I created the Yumm! Cake, sentiment using some cream Jenni Bowlin alpha stickers. The sentiment carries on to the inside of the card to tie it together.

I'd like to enter this card into these challenges:
× Cooking it up with Katie - Anything Goes
× Inky Impressions - Use Ribbon

How's you're day spanning out? Me? Oh, I'll be busy, but what's new?! ;) Got a bunch of wedding cards to get sorted out after work. :) Then I plan on making myself a lovely chicken curry with basmati rice for tea. Mmm, making my mouth water. Shame I'll be eating alone again. :(

Tickled Pink Stamps Challenges

As soon as I seen the new head for the Sew Easy Tool - Pennant Banner. HELLO!! So, truth is, it ain't all it's cracked up to be. In fact, I found that unless you make the line of pennants perfectly straight, then the triangle of holes ain't even?! WTH? Maybe it was just the way I was using it. But aside from all of that kerfuffle - I conquered it and in the end I created a template of three banners at a slight angle to use on my project for today! :)

Full credit goes to my boyfriend for stitching this tag while I sat and coloured the image. I think he's made a brilliant job, don't you? Don't compliment him too much, his head will explode. Needless to say he was very happy with himself! LOL.

Anyway, I bet you're saying.. WELL WHAT TAG?! Well, MY TAG FOR THE NEW TPS CHALLENGE, of course!!

This week we want to see..

WHITE ON WHITE WITH A COLOURED IMAGE
This challenge is only open to TPS images.

I found this really tricky! LOL. I just don't get it. So I went with extremely CAS!! I was gonna add some white roses from WOC, but then I thought hell, why take more attention away from those perfecto banners?! LMAO!!


I have used the gorgeous Lil' Birthday Pinkette Coraline - you know the Pinkettes are my fave, so this new release is just right up my street. A girl's gotta have a stash of Birthday paraphernalia, right?

I would like to enter this card into these challenges:
× Art Impressions Stamps - Make a Tag or Bookmark
× Charizma Cards - In Stitches
× Digi Stamps for Joy - Think Pink
× Stampotique Designers Challenge - Tag Time
 
Head on over to the challenge blog now and see what the other awesome ladies, both established and brand new have got for ya! ;) If you're like me you might need a lot of inspiration for this challenge! LOL.
