     Good morning and Happy Mothers' Day my pretty Peacock's!  Pinquette Mary here hoping you are all enjoying your special day whether you are a Mother yourself, spending time with your Mom or having fond memories of your Mom in Heaven, either way I hope you have something special planned. Speaking of special, oh my goodness what great projects on this hop. If you just came from Kimberly then you are in the right place! Today I wanted to share with you an with a easy way to preserve those beautiful invitations you receive without ruining them and of course dress it up with beautiful Pinque Peacock supplies.

     I knew as soon as Jessica showed us the new products for the hop that Nana's Pillowcase would be my favorite and it is. The colors matched my grand daughters invitation perfectly and includes all the colors. Since chalkboard art is so popular now, my daughter used this invitation to the First Communion. Bold and yet soft enough for the occasion.

     In order to preserve all the info that was also included on the back of the card I decided to add a band of card stock, dress it up and tack it down on either side with flower brads. This way I could always remove it without damaging the card.

     I just love how soft this flower is and I couldn't believe how perfectly it goes with the card stock I had on hand. I also had some "spare" leaves hanging around and added some lace and this epoxy frame to really draw attention to the fabric Splendid Swirls flower. You can purchase them HERE

     Lastly, I needed something to balance off the lower right hand corner so I used a piece of lace for consistancy and I had an embellishment in the Mind's Eye stack I had but it needed something. Of course sparkle...bling... rhinestones... and...Stickles!!

     

     So there you have it a simple yet elegant way to save this wonderful card. It will be fun to look at this in later years. Be sure to hop on over to the ever talented Rebecca and be prepared to be inspired!

     Pinquette Mary here and I can't believe the talent on this Team. I'm impressed, aren't you? I have a simple, understated yet meaningful card to share with you today this last day of the Hop. But first, if you came from the ever talented Amanda then you are in the right place. We wouldn't want you to miss a thing! Now on to my project. 

     Did you know that Jessica carries a great selection of papers in the Shop? Well she does! These blue and lavender cardstock were part of my Design Team packet and I thought they were perfect for my Easter card which happens to be our theme this month. Luckily I also had some of this fabulous 3 Girl Jam crinkle ribbon to match! I really don't like too much on my Religious cards so I thought the silhouette should be my focal point. The image is cut from the Cricut cart Inspired Hearts and I just love these simple images. Of course I did have to dress it up a bit so I decided to add a touch of embossing and a simple stamp from Studio G. The flower and silk leaves are left over from some bracelets I made for a Father/Daughter dance. I couldn't believe how sweet it looks here.

     I love using Pinque Peacock products but I can't believe the texture on this paper and how beautifully it embosses.  

     Be sure to hop on over to the store on Facebook and check out all the wonderful products the Team has used for their awesome projects. Hop hop hop, Easter's coming and you have plenty of time to create!!!!

Pink Lady And Another Blog award.

     I have completed the beginners' Copics classes @ http://simplyscrapping.ning.com/. So I have become daring and colored my first digi stamp. This stamp is from Pink by Design and she has such cute stamps! I also added this to their copic challenge where the only requirement was to use the color pink. ( I think I have that covered, lol).
     I used the following colors:
Face: E01,E00,E000,R20
Hair: E13, E15, E17
Shoes and Hat Ribbon: C1, C3, C5,C7
Dress and Hat: RV02, RV04, RV06
Boa: R81, R83, R85 Spica hot pink
Star: Y13,Y15, Y19
     I also had some trim left over from a Donna Salazzar class I recently finished so that went on the card as well. The paper is from a stack called "All About Girls" from DCWV. I also added some stickles for her necklace.
     The newly added blog award was from Audrey @ Cute And Some.http://cuteandsome.blogspot.com/2011/06/my-im-steampunkin-project-and-blog.html. Please check her blog out she has some great projects over there.
     Upon receipt of this award I have to let you know 8 more things about my self and pass this on to 8 other blogs. First, the 8 things about me:
     1. I love my husband! We have been married for 38 years and are the exact opposites. He is quiet and reserved, I'm outgoing and social.
     2. I love a good joke and can be quite silly at times.
     3. I love my children. There are 5 of them and they all have very unique personalities which I love. They are all very accomplished and talented in their own fields.
     4. I love my grand children all 8 of them! The are so close in age that I feel like Mema + 8! They are truly God's blessing to us and make us realize how fast time goes by.
     5. I love crafting, all types of crafting: paper, painting, sewing, beading etc.
     6. I love learning new things. Perhaps that is why I love taking on line classes. I can learn at my own pace and practice to my hearts content.
     7. I love to wake up to the smell of coffee ( okay, I'm addicted, lol).
     8. I love the feeling you get when you walk out of church, sort of like life is beginning anew.
     Now for the lucky ladies ( and yes there are 2 guys that I follow, lol) who amaze me with their talent. Please be sure to stop by and give them some love.
