MPS National Scrapbook Day Challenge #6

My Pink Stamper's challenge 6:


Challenge #6--Incorporate a TAG into your project!


This one just turned into a baby card!  Have you ever started a project without really knowing which direction it was going to go?  Well, that's this card!  I pick out the tag and then built from there.  It makes for a card that could really be generic!

MPS National Scrapbook Day Challenge #3

I'm having to play catch-up since my weekend was packed with family events!  My Pink Stamper's Challenge 3:


Challenge #3--Make a card, scrapbook page, or 3-D item with a breast cancer theme.  You can use a ribbon, make it pink, whatever you'd like.


I wanted to make this some what different.  I cut everything from Pink Journey cartridge with a little manipulation through the gypsy.  I think it turned out adorable!

MPS National Scrapbook Day Challenge #11

Challenge number 11 from My Pink Stamper:


Challenge #11--Make a project and use Pink, Green and Black in it!


I made another Mother's Day card for another co-worker's mother!  I'm popular at my work when it's holiday/birthday time! LOL!  I literally pulled this paper from my scraps!  I love it when I can do that!  I then added a black ribbon and some pink and black glitter flowers.  She loved it!!

MPS National Scrapbook Day Challenge #7

For Robyn's, My Pink Stamper, 7th challenge we need to:


Challenge #7--Make a Scrapbook Page!

I made a two-page spread in memory of my father.  This year, in February, was the 15 year anniversary of his death.  This was also the first year that I took my son with me to the Peace Officers' Memorial. (He was named after my father)  I let him place his own rose on the memorial this year.


We then took him to where my father's ashes were spread.  (He's in his favorite lake along with his mother's ashes)  Snow was just beginning to melt from the recent snowstorm so the road was closed to the dam, exact place where the ashes were spread, so we placed roses in the water (one for me, my mother, and my son).  On our way out from the dam, we saw a beautiful doe and I just had to snap pictures.  It was a very somber moment with my family and one I will cherish forever.


Enough of the sob story!  Since he was a police officer killed in the line of duty, I cut the police badge from Everyday Paperdolls at fit to page.  I cut his badge number from Old West, not sure what size. I then placed a black ribbon, similar to the black band worn on officers' badges when a brother has fallen, across the numbers.  I think it turned out sweet!

MPS National Scrapbook Day Challenge #5

Challenge 5 from My Pink Stamper is:


Challenge #5- Any 3-D item OR if that is too much of a challenge then add a 3-D item on your scrapbook page or card!



I decided to make a Mother's Day card for a co-worker's Mother-in-Law.  I used pink tulle for my ribbon.  I thought the colors (from my scraps) went together great!  I then added these new 3D butterflies I purchased at Michael's.  Simple and sweet!
