My Pink Designer Showcase

Today My Pink Stamper asked her designers to show off teacher gift ideas! Not having any kids (that will change in July!) this one was tough for me, but that's what I love about a challenge - it's supposed to be a challenge! :)

I thought sometimes a teacher will want to send a note home with the student for the parent and sometimes it's not bad at all, so the smiley faces will help with the perception of the card before it is even opened. So I made this little card set for my co-mom to use! She helps students prep for the SAT's, etc. So hopefully she will put them to good use! :)

• Sentiment: My Pink Stamper: Music Speaks™
• Patterned Paper:
• Shop Pumpkin Spice: March Kit (sold out) - Echo Park Paper: A Boy's Life™

Artful Delight Sketch Challenge

Hello! I decided to make a layout... yes.... a layout.... using Artful Delight's sketch challenge! 

I bought the April kit (now sold out) from Artful Delight and it is just packed with Pink Paislee goodness with a little Lily Bee Designs! 

I just got a new cartridge (to me - it's an oldie) called Country Life so I was anxious to use it! 

The picture that was taken here was actually taken near an old barn down by Big Sur. So it makes sense to me. :) 

I hope you enjoy my layout! 

Canvas Corp Bunny - Thank You!

Canvas Corp recently sent me SO much of their product!!! THANK YOU!!! So you will see some cards for them coming up! 

They also purchased 7 Gypsies recently and Tattered Angels so whatever they have planned must be super exciting!

If you are not familiar with Canvas Corp, I HIGHLY encourage you to check them out. I use their canvas shapes, cork board card stock, burlap shapes, clothespins and many other non- paper (as well as their paper) supplies. 

Here is a picture of the products that I used for this card. 

If you click on the picture to enlarge it, you should be able to read what each of the papers is on the top of the label.

Wyatt's banner

**If you are looking for the My Pink Stamper Blog Hop, then please scroll down! :)**

 Do you remember Kylie and Alyssa's banners HERE.?. Their younger brother Wyatt was just born and Anina asked me to make another banner for him! What an honor! They were waiting until he was born to find out if it was a boy or a girl, so I had to wait a little bit, but I was so excited to make another one for them. 

Last time she got to see the girls' banners on my blog before they got to her so this time I wanted to wait until she received them to post this. I really hope she likes it! :)

The Glossy Accents made it a little hard to photograph so I took pictures from different angles.
