My Pink-alicious Blog Hop and **Giveaway Alert**


Hello and welcome to the My Pink-alicious blog hop! You are in for a real treat today! We have all been asked to make either a mini-album or a scrapbook page. Well, this is definitely a challenge for me! I thought for a second about doing a scrapbook page and then thought, "I have never done a mini album!" So, here is my VERY FIRST mini album! **Caution, picture heavy post!!!**

I spy with my little eye...... SIX uses of My Pink Stamper Stamps. There are two pictures that are close-ups of the stamps, but why don't you see if you can find them all? :) 

I decided to make it a mini calendar album. I didn't have the first idea about how to bind one and then I realized my YourStory is in the storage unit 2 hours away from the move! So luckily my friend June taught me how to do the accordion thing to make it work over Skype. Now, I didn't realize that so much of the accordion would show so I wish I hadn't used the green. But oh well, I love it anyway!

You should have gotten here from Kassidy's blog. If not, start HERE at My Pink Stamper's blog!

















I used My Pink Stamper's: Itty Bitty-licious™ all throughout this book! I LOVE the fact that these stamps are so small! They worked so well! Did you find all 6 of the stamps that I used? If you did, GO you!

Recipe:




Here is the order in case you get lost:

Courtney (Court's Crafts)<---You Are Here :)


The thing you can win today is..... 

The Twinery Sampler pack!
*photo taken from The Twinery*

The Twinery was so kind to send this to me for getting published with their twine! Since I already have a ton, I thought I would give it away to one of YOU! Leave a comment here to win! You do not have to be a follower. I will draw a winner in a week. If you want to win and you are international, I just request that you pay for a non-domestic shipping fee. It should be pretty inexpensive given that it's such a light package. :) 

Make sure you hop all the way through to My Pink Stamper's blog so that you can play along with the challenge! 

Now, don't forget to leave a comment for the giveaway and then hop on to Sharon's blog!
