As Pink as it Gets

Should, by chance, I get a granddaughter someday, I can about imagine I'll buy every pink thing I can get my hands on. With regard to the card, I think I overdid it.

About the card, it's my take on this week's Paper Craft Planet sketch challenge. If you check it out, you'll see the sketch was created for an 8x8-inch scrapbook page. Part of the challenge for me, of course, was converting it to a standard-sized card. I stamped the bear on Bamboo cardstock and used chalk to add a little dimension. Her "romper" was paper-pieced. Everything else - as in lotsa pink - should explain itself.

Materials & Tools: White Daisy, Baby Pink, Blush, and Bamboo cardstock; Black and Baby Pink ink pads; CC Designs Bear Hugs, Impression Obsession Sentiments II, and CTMH Argyle Backgrounds stamp sets; CTMH Big Pinks and Hero Arts Spring paper flowers; White Daisy Bigger Brads; Ribbon from Wal-Mart; Cuttlebug with Argyle embossing folder; chalks.

We're having a lazy day. Bjorn and Mathias are spending the day with us. Currently, even though it continues to snow, Marv went out to swipe a few paths. I tried to talk the little ones into going outside, too, but Bjorn informed me it's too cold, so I guess Mathias and I will go out when Grandpa comes in. It's time these kids learn how to make snow angels, although when I explained the process, they both looked at me like I was quite mad. "Lay down in the snow!" they exclaimed in unison. "Not me!" And I thought snow angels were a requirement of childhood. LOL. Perhaps, I'll be able to convince Mathias once to give it a try once we get outside. For now, someone is tugging on my leg to play a game of "Cootie." Whatever, you're doing, I hope you're having a good day. Later . . .
