Twinkle On {and PPS Power of Three}!

Twinkling Tuesday again! Time for another TT sketch by Madelynn! Here it is - do you love it?! It's just my style. :) Use the keyword "MTTSC*" when you upload to SCS and PCP - and click Madelynn's name to go to the NEW Twinkling Tuesday blog!! Yep, she's got her own spot now, how fun is that? You will also be able to see the sketch and the "featured stamper" card there every week, so be sure to check it out!


I have to apologize in advance for all my photos from the last few days, and through mid-next week. I am at my parents' house and I don't have my "good" camera for taking pictures of my cards, so they are not nearly as nice as usual. Oh well, if that is the trade off for beach & pool weather in January, I think I'll take it!

I am also late late late on LAST week's Pink Papery design team challenge - The Power of Three! We were traveling and I finally got it done and ready. TOMORROW there will be a new PPS challenge, stop by the Official PPS blog for more info on the weekly challenges!

So - here's my contribution to both of those challenges! The owl is from Pink Papery Studios and the sentiment is from Little Paper Shop. Fun fun!

You can see the other Twinklettes' blog links in my left side bar, check them out for more inspiration using this FABULOUS sketch, and don't forget to leave some love! The PPS girls are over there too, and although this card is from LAST week's challenge, they still have lots of good stuff to share the rest of the week too. :) See you tomorrow for PPS Wednesday and the Belli Challenge too! Boy it's a busy stampin' week!

In the Limelight!

With all the Club Anya festivities yesterday, I never posted my big news! I was asked to be one of the Guest Designers for Limelight Papercrafts for February! You can read Mandy's announcement here if you are so inclined. I've been a fan and customer of Limelight for awhile and so I was thrilled to have a chance to work with Mandy too! She's got great products and prices, and even better service so be sure to stop by and check out the shop!

{LPS Monday is in the next post down for this morning}

LPS Monday - Sketch Challenge!

Happy Monday! Very happy here since I'm on vacation, heehee! Monday is the Little Paper Shop project showcase of course, and this week I combined my card with Julia's sketch challenge over on the LPS blog! Did you see it yet?? There's a fabulous PRIZE to be won just for playing along too, so check it out!! {Can you say FREE STAMPS?!?}.

Here's my project, using the adorable "Just Bee-Cause" stamp set from LPS. I was thinking Valentine-ish when I made it and so I HAD to go with the "Bee Mine" sentiment!! Lots of sparkle with Shimmerz on the bees' wings, plus some yellow sugarcoated paper and blingy gems too! You know I love my Shimmerz!

Visit all the LPS girls' blogs for more fun projects and be SURE to swing by the store blog and enter your card for a chance to win free stamps!! {Links on my left sidebar}.
