Pink Again

Good Morning!

I have to admit I love pink, but the fact that everything has been pink the last few days was not really intentional.  Yesterday, I had inspiration to use pink.  Today, well, Kich is a fairy, and fairies are always better pink, in my opinion, anyway.

This is the card I created to use for the Kich N' Blues second monthly challenge.  The challenge was a Thank You Card.  Of course, that is where the image came from, as well.  I got the image as a result of participating in their first challenge.  What a great way to get free digis!  Doing something I love to do anyway; plus, I get rewarded.

The card layout is from a sketch challenge over at The Sweetest Thing.  They gave us this sketch to use for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 117.

I was very frustrated trying to create scallops since I don't have any of those fancy edge punches.  Plus, it was after ten, so I really did not want to turn on my Cricut.  Everyone else in my house was sleeping.  Gotta craft when you can, right?  I have been saying it for months, but I really got to get some of those punches!

Thanks for looking!

Loads of First!

Okay, so I have to admit I am pretty excited about today's card.  This card will actually be a first for me in many ways.

1.  It is the first time I have entered a sketch challenge - ever.  It maybe very well be the first time I have ever used a sketch for a card to begin with.  Let me say, using the sketch cut the time it takes me to make a card in thirds.  I am entering the card in this week challenge at CPS. 

2.  It is the first time I have colored a Kich N Blues digi, as well.  So, I thought I would enter the card in their spring challenge, as well.  I follow the site very regularly because one of my sweet friends is a Design Team member.   Sonya has amazing talent, and I want to be her when I grow up.  See for yourself here.

3.  I am also going to use this card in the Digital Tuesday Challenge.  The requirement is to use a female image on your project.  What a cooler female than Kich, right?

Ready to see the card now...

I used kraft card stock and pieces of pink and blue scraps.  The pattern paper is from a K&C Company Designer Mat Pad.  I used some Cat's Eye Ink, Crayola Colored Pencils, a few flowers and brads.

Hope You Enjoyed It!
