Happy Thoughts....

... and I hope that is what you have when you come by to visit my blog to see the creations I have done for Link Up for Pink.  I was wondering what I would have for an inspiration and when I looked out of the window of my Scrap Room and there were the Hummingbirds making a fuss by the feeder.  They definitely don't like sharing. :-)   So here we go!

 
My daughter and I are in the process of moving and when I walked into the scrap room lo' and behold she has most of it packed! LOL  So I gathered up the birdhouse stamp from Heartfelt, a few sheets of cardstock from my stash, a little bling out of my drawer and a Stampin' Up punch for the sentiment.  Oh, the sentiment is from CTMH.  The coloring was done with my Copic Markers. 
 
 I will tell you, the Scrap Room has more stuff to be packed then the whole house!!  LOL  But our new Scrap room with be much larger and really organized (I hope) so we can actually see what we have.  Some things just get put aside and then one day you happen to see it while searching for something else and say, Oh, Wow, I really could have used this last week or last month.  LOL  So our move is planned for approximately the middle of June and then after we get settled in I will post pictures of our new scrapping habitat.  Hope all works out as planned.
 
Now for some really great news:

Best Wishes

Hello again, glad you stopped by to see what's going on here in my blog world.  I am posting my card for Link Up for Pink sending Best Wishes to everyone, especially to my "Special Friends" who are fighting the battle of Breast Cancer.  I hope you enjoy my card and it brings a smile.

Some time was put into this card.  I was in a creating mood, more so than usual, so I decided I would get out some die cuts and embossing folders and go through my stash and get some "stuff" together and make a really "fancy" card.  ;)

Patterned paper and reverse solid paper is from Anna Griffin, Peyton Collection.
Patterned paper with rosebuds from my stash.
Die cut (pink) is a Spellbinders die.
Die Cut (ivory) is a Lifestyle Crafts die.
The Sentiment die cuts (3) are Spellbinders.
The embossing folder is from Sizzix.
Flowers are Recollection flowers.
Seam binding from my stash.
Stampin' Up ink.

Well, I think that covers everything I used and it was great fun cutting and putting all the pieces together.  Sort of like doing a puzzle. :)

I hope you enjoyed my card as much as I did creating it and if you did, please leave some love.  Remember you are my inspiration. 

We have a new Link Up for Pink Challenge #13 starting up tomorrow, May 23rd.  I hope all of the scrappers out there get their "stuff" together and get your projects or cards posted here.  Remember, you are supporting those fighting for their life because of Breast Cancer and also, we have some really generous, awesome sponsors,  SK Digis and Lovebug Creations donating some great prizes for the winner of the challenge.  What more can I say except it's going to be awesome!!!

Well, that's all I have so
Until next time take Care
and God Bless.
Hugs
