Pretty In Pink

Now this is not about that Fabulous John Hughes movie from the 80's but the theme for this weeks challenge over at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge.  Yes thats right we want you to use all the shades of pink and nothing but shades of pink!!  Every girls dream...lol
And the prize this week is a fantastic Magnolia stamp sponsered by the wonderful diana over at Magnolialicious!

Here is my creation....now the paper i have used has a splash of orange in it but please forgive me....snigger!

I have used one of the wonderful sweet and cute Bildmalarna images that Bizzy bec is now sellling in her shop!  you really need to go check them out!

I have coloured her in copics.

Flowers are also from bizzy bec's as is the spellbinder nestie.

The diecut to the side is my new Marianne stencil.

Sentiment is a Catslife press stamp.

i also want to enter my card in for the pink challenge over at Mad for MArkers.

i have used R22, R20 and R00 for her dress.

Another Christmas blog hop

Yep its the 25th of yet another month which means its time for our Magnolicious All Year Long Christmas blog hop!!
Now if you wish to start from the beginning you need to go here.
If you have arrived from Kathy's blog then you are on the right track.

Here is my card using Tilda with wreath, and Silent Night Background from the Christmas 2009 collection.

i have used Basic Grey Wassail collection papers and the doiley was created with a Martha Stewart corner punch.

The totally gorgeous sentiment and flowers are from Bizzy Bec's.

Now next on the hop is Mae...so get on hopping!

I have also used the sketch from friday Sketchers so would like to enter this over there too!

Two is Better than one....

especially when it comes to stamping!!!  We all know you cant just buy one stamp.....because one soon becomes lots lots lots lots more...lol.

And its a lucky thing because this week at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge we want you to use more than one stamp on your creation.  Fantastic time to practise your masking skills, but if thats too scary a thought we dont mind how you use more than one just as long as you do!!!
And the prize this week is an amazing voucher from Simon Says Stamp worth $25 so you can add more to that stamp collection..lol

and here is my craetion using not one, not two, but three CC Designs stamps.

Hansel, the field fence and the birdhouse are all available from bizzy Bec's.

As is the spellbinders labels 12 I used for the sentiment.

Sentiment Stamp is a SU one.

Ribbon is from my local cheap shop and the punch is Wrought iron by Martha Stewart.

Paper isa Ruby Rocket one but i have cut off the strip so not sure which one.
