Tickled Pink and Unforgettable Get Well!

I recently received my Tickled Pink kit from CTMH (the new promo that is currently underway), and WOW! I am not much of a flower stamp girl, but I have to say, this set goes way beyond the kit and die-cuts!

I got to reach for this set the other day when I was making my mother-in-law a Get Well card. She just had hip-replacement surgery, so between Eric and I both getting sick, we have been to the hospital to visit. And nothing brightens up a hospital room like a pretty card!

I used a new template Jeanette posted on her blog (http://www.jeanettelynton.com/). It is from the new Wishes template book! I can't wait to get my own copy, but Jeanette posted one of the templates from it as a sneak preview. Here is the card I came up with:

Paper: Unforgettable
Stamp: Tickled Pink, Say it in Style (May '08 SOTM coming back in the Summer '09 Idea Book!!)
Ink Colors: Blush, Sorbet, Juniper
Embellishments: 3D Foam Squares

This flower is GREAT for layering! The front is dimensional with foam squares under the matted square and the flower, too. My friends could always tell an "Erin-Card" because I always fold down a corner of the double-sided B&T paper... but after I saw the rolled corners in one of the Idea Books, it has taken over! I love the little touch it adds!

That's it for today, but stay tuned... I have some GREAT things planned for this week as we count down to the release of the new Idea Book!

Lots of Love,

-Erin-

Tickled Pink! and a new Scrapbook website!

CTMH did it again- they came out with an awesome promotion for National Scrapbooking Month called Tickled Pink. It is a kit that has cute pink and blue B&T, a stamp set, sheet of die-cuts, Mini-Melody accents, a texture tool, and instructions for two layouts! I can't wait until my order gets here, but this is what it looks like:



You can purchase it for $34.95, or earn it FREE with a $60 My Acrylix Stamp Set purchase (ha, like I need an incentive to buy more stamps)! CTMH is running this campaign from now until the end of May. There are also more details on the CTMH Homepage. Can't wait to see what I can create with this awesome set!

And to add more excitement, CTMH created a new website for National Scrapbooking Month- www.scrapbookandshare.com (There is a link on the right side). They are hosting a contest for May- go check out the details! Woo-hoo! With our remodel almost complete, I cannot wait to get back into my office space and start creating again!
