{TPE200} Graduation

Good Morning!

It's a holiday weekend here in the north!  If you're one of my fellow Canucks, hope you're enjoying your extended weekend!  If not, thanks for stopping by, and I'm pretty sure you have a long weekend next weekend!

The theme of this week's challenge at The PInk Elephant is Graduation.  My take on this is likely not exactly what would first come to mind.

Take a look, then I'll explain!

I took the plunge and became a Fitness Instructor.  After our weekend of training, we "graduated" to being ready to start teaching.  It's a lengthy process, but now that I'm certified, and teaching on my own, completely worth it.

So this is my Graduation picture of sorts!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great Monday!

{DS99} Birthday Wishes

Good Morning!

It's amazing how good one can feel just getting some crafty time, making cards and scrapbooking!  I feel like a new person!

I LOVE Jen's Deconstructed Sketches, so my mission now is to get some of them caught up!

Here's my take on Sketch 99!

I absolutely love this style of sketch!  There are so many things you can do with it.

I started by printing this adorable Sweet Treat Wryn out, and colouring her in with copics.  I pulled out some old paper from My Minds Eye, and set to work!  The sentiment is from Surely Goodness, a new set from Verve.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Enjoy your day!

{VLV} With Sympathy

Good Morning!  It's a rainy Monday here....perfect for a day off from the gym, running errands, lunch with some girlfriends, and even some crafty time.

I had a friend need a sympathy card, and the Viva La Verve sketch from Week 5 was a perfect fit.

I used the new Surely Goodness set, stamping the flowers on the DP, then cut them out using the Goodness Flowers Die Set.  I am really loving how you can quickly make a beautiful flower using this combo!

The sentiment was from my Treasured Words set, one of my heavily used ones right now!  I LOVE the fonts!

The paper is from an old pack I found hiding in my pile - MME Stella & Rose Hazel.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Enjoy your day!

{VLV} Happy Birthday

Keeping with my goal for April, I bring you the Viva La Verve April Week 3 card!

I'm slowly building up my stash of cards, and the Birthday cards had been the hardest hit.

Here is the card I created:

I started out by stamping random numbers from the Calendar Countdown set in Versamark ink on my Kraft cardstock.  Then I stamped the sentiment from Treasured Words in Riding Hood Red ink, then cut it out with my nestabilities.

In a never ending battle of cleaning up older packs of designer paper, I pulled out this Birthday Bash paper by Imaginesce.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

{TPE-SC56} 9 Months

Good Morning!

It's another great Pink Print from the Pink Elephant Challenge this week!

Here's my take on it!

The supplies are all from the A Boy's Life kit, by Jen C Designs.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Enjoy your day!

{TPE-SC55} Anything Goes

Good Afternoon!

This week the challenge at The Pink Elephant is WIDE OPEN!  So anything goes!

I've been trying to get some wedding photos scrapped (our wedding was almost 8 years ago!).

I used an old Deconstructed Sketch as the starting point for this page.  It was pretty quick to put together too, with all the supplies coming from the I Heart You kit by Fayette Designs.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Make sure to take some time and get crafty!

Birthday Dancer

Good Afternoon!

My daughter had a birthday party for a friend at a dance studio, so we made this card for her.

My DD picked out this image, Tiny Dancer, from Tiddly Inks.  Perfect for a little girl's dance themed birthday party!

She was coloured with copics and cut out using a rectangle nestie.  My DD picked the colours, wanting a pink, black and white theme.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a great Friday!
