~Happy May 1st! Reveals, contests, PRIZES and MORE!~

GOOD MORNING!!!!!
WOW Where in the world do I begin today??
So much going on you NEED to read the entire blog today.
Contests from THREE companies, a sketch challenge
and we begin the 5 day reveal from Scrapbooking From The Inside Out

First off this fun layout I made for Clearscraps.
I used the Imaginisce May Sketch as my inspiration.
These are the new Splash Dance Papers!

IF you comment HERE and visit the other blogs Imaginisce is giving away
a BIG May Prize package!!!!!!! So hit the Imaginisce Blog today HERE

The reason I tied in the Clearscraps with the the sketch is because
Clearscraps is hosting their own HUGE giveaway and it ends TODAY!
HERE it is! Go check it out! Easiest Contest EVER is what they are calling it!

Now on to Scrapbooking From The Inside Out May Kit Reveal!
The emotion for this month is ANTICIPATION! (I love it!)

When I thought of anticipation, instantly I thought of spring,
my children, life, and my chickens even! All the anticipation of
blooming, growing, planting and the rewards.

So this is my first layout, the boys planting a sunflower patch.
I am so excited to see it grow and watch them learn from the experience.
I am going to chronicle the entire process.

I even took one of the seed packets and put it on the layout.
This is a beautiful jam packed kit too!

Alrighty then, on to one more fun contest!
Timeless Daydreams just started blogging, I was talking to my gf
on the phone who writes the blog and co-owns site.
I told her I would host a contest to get followers for their blog!
SOOOOOO, I will be giving away a FUN prize pack!!
Plus they are giving away some PRIMA!
So stop by HERE become a follower and tell them PINKY sent ya!
I will give away 2 prize packages
(including full sets of stamps and other new goodies)

Nothing in it for me, just love the girls there. I know you will too!

That's it for me today!

~Happy Hump Day! New tutorial and layout too!~

I have been so BUSY!

This morning I got up and scrapped this layout....
Now, if you think that everyone else's work is perfect except yours,
let me share a funny story with you this morning!

I scrapped this page and I like it, so of course I wanted to get the perfect picture.
But it's winter, so there are not always sunny "natural light" days happening
at my house. Well, I got my photo studio out, but honestly I still need natural light
because it does not have enough on these dark day.
I saw a snip of bright light outside and RAN out to take a quick picture in between
rain clouds...I was not fast enough!
I was going to photoshop and edit the picture to make it perfect for you
all and I probably will for Timeless Daydreams, but for my blog
I got to thinking..."You know what? Not every moment or LO is perfect!
I am just going to show everyone what happens when a HUGE raindrop hits your page!" LOL
So here it is hehehe
This is the BEAUTIFUL January Kit from Timeless Daydreams,
another site I just love and am a Guest DT this month.Now the lace and big snowflakes are mine
but the rest is the kit...
I hand made these lace flowers....
do you think I need to make a tutorial??
Also this morning I made a quick tutorial on using the
FREESTYLE MOUSE cutter from Purple Cows.
I forgot to mention on the video it also cuts fabric...and pretty much anything else!

Hope it works for you. if you have questions let me know!

Yesterday I scrapped THREE layouts,
let me tell you why...
I broke into the February kit for Scrapbooking From The Inside Out
and it totally inspired me to scrap! You know how you get
a kit and you know it's special because you cannot think about
anything BUT scrapping with it!! OMG that is SO the SFTIO February kit!
AND...I was told..that SFTIO is going to have a HUGE crop in February!
So JOIN and tell them I sent ya...
Guess who is HOSTING the crop??
ME! That's right MZZZZ PINKY!
So you know it will be fun :)

OK back to creating and cleaning, I need to get a
hot dinner ready for these hungry boys coming home!

Have a GREAT Wednesday!
~Thank YOU for stopping by~
~Pinky~

~Friday! Finally precious Friday! hehe

Morning all you beautiful crafters, another

beautiful day in Middle Tennessee.
Yesterday's burst of sun really rejuvenated me.
Today the new Challenge for ScrapFit is up and running!

Since this was our last workout as the current DT
Challenge #12 was
Weight Lifting
Pick a LO that another DT member has done in Workouts 1-11 and lift it.
Here is the Layout I "lifted" by the beautiful HeatherI did not want to stray too much from it
so here is my version...I used the January KIT from Timeless Daydreams
I LOVE this kit!
I wish I had been able to photograph this better,
I need tips on photographing blue in the winter with no sun LOL
OK that's it for me today, I need to get to work
it has been a long and productive week! Time to get ready
for some good old fashioned relaxing LOL!

Thanks ScrapFit for having me as a DT, I loved
doing it and am excited to see where you go because I know
it is going to be BIG!

~Have a great Friday y'all!~
~Thanks to every one who stopped by and said hi~
~Pinky~

~Tired Tuesday, I made it to midnight!!~

Well, I made it! I was so proud to see my little display box

on national TV last night! I about passed out right before,
they had a very long STICKER segment and I don't really use stickers much.
I just found out she will be on again today at 7-8pm EASTERN!
So if you missed last night, our work should be on once again!
Which includes my box!

Ok on to fun scrappy goodness,
a few months ago a very close friend of mine Dolores
called and said she and another friend were goign to start a kit club
well Dolores rocks, so when she asked me to be a guest designer
of course I said YES YES! because I know it would be
fun, frilly and beautiful!of course I used my TomBow for this page
This is the January Kit in action!
Also she began a new forum to go along with it
TIMELESS DAYDREAMS
I used the itop brad maker here with matching
paper and stickles I Love that thing it's like I have instant
matching buttons always!

I have one more Layout to share tomorrow but for now
I gotta go get my house clean!
Staying up until midnight kicked my butt!

Oh and a little side note:
I noticed that I am THIS CLOSE to 300 followers!
I think we need to have a BIG party and GIVEAWAY to celebrate!
Or maybe a few small giveaways so more people win? What do you think?
It's YOUR BLOG! Tell me what you want!
I think I am about due for a new tutorial too!
Let's have some fun!

~Have a great Tuesday~
~Thanks for popping by and being so kind to me~
~Pinky~

~Snow day with no snow Thursday!~

HAHA! I know I live in the south because

they called off ALL schools and not a drop of snow!
I am not complaining mind you, it's fun and funny! :)

Good morning all you crafty people! I am in high spirits today,
it has been a great week!
I am really excited about the new challenge blog
Dirty Scraps
I never expected the response to be so great and positive!The Peeve:
It really irks me when people go hunting for a reason to hurt you and be mean to you when you have done nothing to them to deserve it. Especially when they demand you explain yourself and you know there is NOTHING you could say or do to make them happy or to like you. I don’t understand why they try to drag you down in petty gossip and arguments when there is nothing to argue about. When someone is set on hating you they just hate on you. I am a grown ass woman, why do I need to try to “make” someone like me when they are so set on hating me to begin with? Why are you poking the Pink one??

The Positive:
I cannot say why people do this,
I don’t know if it is jealousy, or they are lacking drama in their life so they feel the need to create it, but I have learned that those people are not worth the effort. At my age you have to find your true friends and appreciate them, and let the haters go and try not to let it bring you down. Smile and move along. I am learning that letting it go is best and it is getting easier as the years go by. I have some GREATand KIND friends, the people who try to find reasons to hate you, well it’s their lot in life. The positive is, I no longer argue and get angry, I just feel sorry for them and see them as they are and it brings my true friends closer to me. I have learned that fighting gossip with gossip does not work, it makes you look small and petty. It might take 10 years but they will realize one day.It’s all about perspective and PEACE.
No drama momma here, stay positive and stay strong.

I scrapped this page for the FIRST DIRTY SCRAPS challenge
There is a prize of a brand new set of stamps!!

I am having so much fun with this!
OK a couple little things going on...

Timeless Daydreams is up and running!!

And the papers I used in this LO are form Scrapfreak...
I love both sites...:) Great people and nice ladies on both!

OK I am off to take care of these rowdy boy in NO SNOW! LOL
~Have a beautiful day~
~Thanks for popping by I love ya~
