Pretty in Pink

 I can't believe it, October is here already!  So with October comes the Fall, Halloween and of course Breast Cancer Awareness, which means I have a reason to show my pink power this month.  Please be sure to check those Ta Tas girls!  

Most of you know that I work at my local stamp store a couple of days a week and YES, I do know how lucky I am. :) A few weeks ago our wonderful (hi Darcy) rep from American Crafts was by for a visit and she always leaves a sample or two when she leaves.  Darcy always takes notes when she is there also.  Why  did I tell you that you may ask?  I  had mentioned to Darcy that I was sure I could color the white glitter Thickers with my Copics to color match them with my projects.  She looked at me like I was nuts and would ruin the nibs on my markers for sure.  In her notes, she must have written that I wanted to try it, because last week came a package with some white glittery Jewelry Box Thickers.  See the word "hi" down  there, I colored it with a pink Copic marker and it didn't even mess up the nib of the marker at all.  I suppose if you were to color the whole package with the same marker it might be a different story.  Good thing the nibs are replaceable just in case that should happen.  Darcy also left a sheet of paper and coordinating layered embellishments for me to make samples with.  

The paper is Little Miracle from the Pebbles New Addition line and the embellies are from the New Arrival line.  Both of these lines have a "pink" collection and a "blue" collection and have sweet babies in mind.  With that being said, I think both color collections will work for lots and lots of projects not related to babies.  On the card above I used a small strip of the striped side and a wider piece of the brown side.  This paper is embossed so the brown side has a look of corduroy to me.  I likey!  A few of you know that I have an aversion to felt but I think these flowers are ADORABLE!  There are four in the pack and each one is just a wee bit different. 
 On my second card  I used a larger piece of the stripe paper and used a little strip of the brown side for the scalloped edging.  See that sweet little polka dot print?  It is the backside of the 1/2" info strip on the 12 x 12 paper. So smart!  The only stamp used (egads) was the "It's a girl!" sentiment from Memory Box.  I stamped  it in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and it matches perfectly to the brown in the paper.
