PBD Challenge #5: Ombre

Ombre means shaded or graduated in tone.

Remembering With You

You have until 3:00pm to link up your Ombre project!

PBD Challenge #3: Embossing

Challenge #3 is all about Embossing.

I love to do heat embossing.

BUT...

The fact is-

I'm pretty lazy.

My embossing powders are stored away- and to use them would mean that I would have to get out of my chair, get them out, use them, clean up, and put them away.

Here is the JulieK method of embossing.

Before:

During: Just trace over your stamped sentiment

After:

You have until 1:00pm to link up your embossing project at Pink by Design!

PBD Challenge #2: Favorite Holiday

Back with Challenge #2 at the Pink by Design Anniversary Challenge Day!

This one is all about Favorite Holidays!

I love Thanksgiving.

It's all about being thankful for the things you have.

(and you get to eat  yummy food!)

Link up your project at Pink by Design until Noon today.

PBD Challenge #1 Home Decor

Hi Everyone!

I excited to be able to play along with all of the challenges at Pink by Design today!

Challenge # 1 Hosted by Jessica is a Home Decor Challenge.

Mine isn't really home decor...

but I'll use it in my home (or my purse, or my car, etc).

It is a n altered notebook!

It started out as a little black and white composition notebook.

I stamped an image and sentiment on it from Days Like This and finished it up with some Wahsi Tape.

Easy Peasy!

Link up your project until 11:00am today!

New Pink by Design Hop!

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the latest and greatest Pink By Design stamp release blog hop!

You should be here from Sarah's blog, but if you just happened to stop by, make sure you start from the beginning so you don't miss a thing!

Every time there is a PBD release I have a new favorite stamp set.  Crazy but true!

This release is no exception!

I am going to show you something from three of the new sets!

(yeah- I was busy getting my craft on!)

My first project uses the beautiful set called "Pray".

Lovely sentiments that can be used for so many occasions.

This was a quick and easy card using Bo Bunny paper and 3 Girl JAM Chocolate Brown ribbon.

My next card features 2 sentiments from "Attitude".

(There's been some sass flying around my house lately!)

Cricut Paper Dolls Teen Scene

My last project showcases the set called "Instantly".

For those of you who know me- you know that layouts are not really my thing.

Well- I did an 8x8 layout.

We had a "moment" in our house last night that I know my girls will remember for years to come.

When I asked my 11 year old daughters what they wanted to eat for dinner, their response was, "Banana Splits!"  (probably because it was around 100*F outside)

My husband and I looked at each other, smiled, and said "Sure!"

If you could have seen the looks on their faces....

Priceless!

Click on the photo for a larger view!

I LOVE this set!

It is so fun!

You will love it too!

So.....

now that I've talked your eyes off.....

I have some blog candy to send out to one lucky follower!

Please comment below for your chance to win one of my most favorite PBD stamp sets:

"Days Like This"

Your next stop is my fabulous friend

Lisa!
