Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Hi All!  I can't believe that a whole week has gone by and it's time for another challenge over at Tickled Pink Stamp Challenges- I guess time really does fly by when you're having fun :)  We have an awesome challenge for you this week...Use a Music Sheet...and you don't know how excited I was for this particular challenge!  See, before cardmaking was ever something I was into I expressed my creativity in another way- music.  I've played piano since I was five and starting singing in the 4th grade- I eventually even went to college on a music scholarship for voice.  While my dreams of becoming a huge pop singing sensation never came true music is still something that's as much a part of my everyday life as card making has become.  So the chance to marry the two things I love together was AWESOME.  You'd think because I have so much music floating around everywhere it would make things easy but it's kind of like when you're at the candy shop and you have so many choices it takes you hours to decide because you want to pick just the right thing :)  Since I couldn't do a billion cards for this one challenge I started looking through my Tickled Pink images and thinking of all the different songs that could go with them.  I settled on a theme using Lil Pinkette Tom Boyz Baseball Pippa that I think turned out pretty good if I do say so myself...it's to bad the song's so catchy because I caught myself singing it repeatedly as I assembled my card :)  I can promise that you'll be seeing some more music inspired cards in the near future because even if I couldn't do a whole billion cards for this one challenge my mojo definitely kicked into high gear and that inspiration has got to be put to good use!  Please stop by the challenge blog to check out the rest of the DT's amazing creations because, as always, they have all totally knocked it out of the park with this one!  And if you have time I hope you'll join in the challenge and share the fun, just remember to use a Tickled Pink image!

It's The Simple Things

Hi All!  I know you're shocked that I'm doing two posts in two days but I told you I had lots of crafting time this weekend :)  I've been eyeing the sketches over at Deconstructed Sketch and I finally got my bum in gear in enough time to get one entered.  I flipped it on its side and left off the sentiment just because I'm not sure exactly what I want to use it for yet.  I may use it for a birthday card to fill an order or I might just keep it for my own stash mostly because I really like how the coloring on Pippa from Tickled Pink Stamps turned out this time around....she's so much fun to color and every time I just like her more!  So here's another card from my crafting whirlwind...hope you enjoy :)

Birthday Wishes

 

Hi All!  I've got a quick post of a card I made this weekend but didn't have time to post before.  I've always got people requesting birthday cards and they are really so much fun to do because they're so versatile.  This card will be going to an ultimate girly girl so I had fun going crazy with the bright colors and lots of jewels.  And I've been dying to use this new digi stamp named Wendy that I got from Spesch Designer Stamps (grab it here)- she was soooo much fun to color, which I did with my Copics.  I have a feeling she'll be making many more appearances here in blogland :)  I hope that this card inspires the same amount of joy and fun to the recipient as it did to me while making it!
