Good morning my talented crafty friends♥

I have a special post to share today....

on a "Movie/Game Night" set up. I made popcorn cones

to go along with it....the boys were tickled about these!

*you can see the full view on the Imaginisce Blog today*

~Chugging Into Sunday! New Acrylic Work!~

Good morning!!!

I have another fun acrylic project to share today...

this is also a new sneak peek for CHA from Clear Scraps.

In fact I Fed Ex'd it in so you should be able to see it in person♥

It is a new TRAIN banner....I decided since my youngest is

such a HUGE train fanatic, to make it for him.

I used all Basic Grey papers and embellishments,

with my Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive for the vintage buttons.

Plus on the stars I used Smooch Spritz on the back,

then I sealed it with PYMII and it worked perfectly!

It sealed the Smooch and made it all shine through.

For the wheels I used my Fiskars Punch...I don't remember the name,

I think it might be Seal Of Approval??

My Cricut Imagine to cut the letters from Core'dinations card stock.

Here is a closeup of the sealed Smooch, I used green and blue.

And the half fans I just made myself adhering them with the ibond.

The edges are those Viva Decor Pens, I love those!

It was a FUN project and what the best thing was...Gage was

TICKLED when he saw it! He squealed and said "FOR ME??"

I told him...AFTER CHA HONEY! LOL

Ok I am off to be with the family today, and work

on my Cricut Circle Projects for the magazine.

I am YuDuing my ass off! LOL

~Happy Sunday~

~ Thanks for popping by~

OHHH all next week is Animal Crackers Release week

~New Reveal, Ruby Rock It Winner, Friday Fun!~

Good morning!!!!!! Happy Friday!

I am so happy this week is over, its been a good week

but I am so tired!

I know I usually begin my Scrapbooking From The Inside Out

reveals on the 1st but so much has come up.

The kit theme this month was ENLIGHTENMENT

which I really struggled with.

But I did manage my 5 layouts and I am happy with them.

You know it used to be I would be unhappy

with every 4th or 5th layout, now it's more like every 12th.

Which I realized this week! *yea* about being

more confident and satisfied :)

For this LO I used 100% SFTIO kit except the amazing

PK Glitz glitter and my Helmar V-2 glue.

I hate to say or scrap that I am so "enlightened" because

frankly I am not. But being pregnant was one of the most

amazing journeys ever. So I scrapped that.

Here is one of the only photos I have when I was pregnant.

Ahhh...memories :)

I spent most of the last few days sewing custom orders

but I did have 2 dresses come up that were not sold.

If you know anyone who wants this BEAUTIFUL dress

let me know! :) It is after all a PINKY original!

I CAN ADD STRAPS! I usually wait until it is ordered to add them

*You know Nikki Sivils has one :)*

I am making me one for sure I love this cotton print. Medium to XL 22" unstretched to 46" stretched, It fits this 36" bust mannequin PERFECTLY! Would go up to 42" too.30.00 + 3.00 shipping. You will love the high quality handmade dress!

OK on to the SUMMER Ruby Rock It WINNER!!!!!!

Patti Smith said...

Love this layout....love the colors and the fan what a great touch...I used to make those all the time when I was a kid...I may have to lift this one!!! Hope the sick boy feels better soon!!

Wednesday, August 25, 2010

Please email me your addy and I will get this

out to ya!

Remember I still have a My Mind's Eye Halloween paper
giveaway and a laminator giveaway coming up so stay tuned!

OK I am off to bake, I made banana bread yesterday

today hubs has requested cookies. It's going to be

a junk food weekend I can feel it LOL

~Happy Friday y'all!~

~Thanks for stopping by~

~Come back tomorrow for more reveals!!~

~Pinky~

~Happy Dance!!! It's the first! Let the reveals begin....*GIVEAWAY too!*~

GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!! I am so excited

I always am on the first of the month.

I have SO MUCH to share this week, but let's just begin with

one project and one new sketch.

Imaginisce has a monthly sketch challenge

every month on the first.

And this is my take on the sketch.

You can play along and WIN! Believe me you want to play

along because you will win big!

On this layout I used the fabric tape form Love My Tapes,

my Cricut Expression and the Accent Essentials cartridge,

the Cottage Christmas line from Imaginisce,

the i-rock for the bling on the snowflakes, the i-top

for the flowers and buttons in the middle.

Of course my Helmar V-2 for the glitter on the 3 middle frames.

I pretty much went crazy!

It's not my normal style but I had fun and I really like it!

So go play along with Imaginisce, they love

their fans and they are such a great company!

Now my friend Marci, she is so sweet and fun.

We met in Murfreesboro a couple weeks ago.

you might remember she won a contest from Purple Cows.

Well she brought me a LAMINATOR to give away on my blog!

WOOT WOOT!

Now I have not found this Laminator UNDER 60.00!

So it's a great giveaway!

Thanks Marci!! Her blog is

Pinky loves ya!

~Summer Scrappin' Monday~

Good morning my crafty friends :)

This weekend was pretty busy but I did

manage to sit down yesterday and scrap one page.

Thoughts 2 Paper is having a sketch contest and

I REALLY wanted to enter the contest!!

Thoughts 2 Paper is good people.

This is mostly My Mind's Eye Paper,

I have had it sitting here for a long time.

The butterflies are the Martha Stewart Monarch Punch.

First I cut out the That's my Boy paper and I stitched

another sheet of Quite Contrary paper underneath it.

Because I wanted to use the gingham. :)

Then I hand cut some leftover denim and used the same

contrast stitching to sew it on.

For the masking I used the Cricut French Manor cartridge

I cut the 8" Medallion and spritz golden Smooch Spritz on it.

Then in true Pinky form I stickled the heck out of it LOL

It was fun to sit down and scrap for me :)

Anyways, I have 2 sick boys today.

I am telling you the beginning of the school year is crazy

for our house. The boys get sick at least 4 times in the first

2 months. I will be glad when October hits!

Oh and I had to giggle yesterday when someone asked

me to SIGN her RAK from my blog!

How fun is that?! LOL Now how should I sign it?

What do you think?

Pinky 2010

Pinky H.

I don't know...guess I will think about it today.

~Happy Monday y'all~

~I hope it's a great one!~

~ Thanks for popping by~

~Cartridge WINNER, Another Reveal, & FUN GIVEAWAY!~

Good morning!! Is it already day 4
of my SFTIO reveals?
I think it is....

I had fun "discovering" this month.
I made this layout with my picture
of the Jello Shots from July 4th.
And my profound discovery, that yes it is OK
"sometimes" to let go and have fun.
I know I seem all punk but I am very uptight.
I struggle with just relaxing and having fun.
I RARELY drink but this picture represented
to me anyways, that I am not an alcoholic if I
occasionally have a drink or two.

OK I have a FUN CONTEST and I need YOUR HELP TO WIN!
http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Nikki-Sivils-Scrapbooker-LLC/227612327441?ref=mf

Please go "LIKE" Nikki Sivils for me and tel her PINKY sent ya!
No I d not want to win for myself, I have a
friend who loves crafty magazines and could use the
craft supplies, I would love to win it for her!
Her name is Melissa aka Ziggy.
Some of you may know her...

Ok enough chit chat right?? How about I draw
a name for the Cricut Cartridge??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karen AKA Soccerboyzmom said...

Hey Chickee,

Everyone made it to the picture except Liz, was she taking the picture?????
Bring on the cartridge -- wishing and hoping for it.

Wednesday, July 28, 2010

Karen email me your addy chickita!!!!
I wish I had 50 more to giveaway,
I truly did give away everything I got at CHA *minus the Imagine*
I have a few more goodies in my bag for later on this week too
So stay tuned :)
I love you all, you make my blog so much fun
and without you I would have nothing to pass on.

I am truly a blessed woman
and don't ever think I will stop sharing.
Because there will always be extra to give away!

~Thanks for popping by~
~Have a great day~
~Pinky~

~Happy Friday! Time for some fun and a CHA TRIP Giveaway!!!!!~

Happy FRIDAY!!!!! I am so excited,

I leave on Sunday for Chicago!!!!
I know you must be sick of hearing about it LOL


Yesterday someone asked me about this flower
I made so I thought I would post it.
The flower is some sort of Prima Flower and I WRAPPED
this Webster's Pages Bloomer's Ribbon.
Then I used my irock to place a clear gemstone on
the button. That's it.

Because I am genuinely crazy, I decided
at the last minute to play in a challenge on
Tally Scrapper.It's called "So You Think You Can Scrap"
I am not playing to win.
I am just playing to have some fun.

If I win I am sending the box of goodies to my
friend Denise. Who has slipped off the face
of the scrap world LOL

Anyways, I just thought I would have fun.

The first challenge was to scrap a 8.5X11 PURPLE PAGE
that says "So you think you can...?"
I chose Judge Me?
I had to use twine, and a wallet sized photo.
Oh and an all purple page...(yes this
is purple, it's the Whitewash Color Core'dinations purple paper)
Not because I am angry but it's funny how people
judge me because of my pink hair.
They think I am a punk, or goth, or a crazy drunk.
In reality, I am such a soccer mom it hurts LOL

Anyways, just some scrap fun.

Now for the beginning of my CHA giveaways! :)
I have some chipboard and papers
from the new Imaginisce Apple Cider Collection
*just a few*I was not supposed to get the extras but
a cross over in shipping time and another DT
gave me some so I am passing them along.

Be sure to leave a comment here and
pass the word along!!! It's going to be a fun week!

Stay tuned this week because I have a big one
by the end of CHA and I plan on giving
away most of the goodies I get at the show!
You won't want to miss it!

Ok I am off to pack and go to the PO!

~Thanks for popping by~
~Happy Friday Y'all~
