Pink ,Pink & Yep more Pink

Today at High Hopes Challenges we have gone crazy for pink ! Our theme is ,yep you guessed it...PINK
I hope you love the color,cause we wanna see lots of it ! Oh but don't forget to use a High Hopes image. First my apologies for the bad picture,just couldn't get a good one.My card I used Laurie Furnell's image "Annie with her kitty". As you can see I got carried away with the pink on my image and colored her kitty pink.


The patterned papers are from My Mind's Eye.The flowers are of course from Wild Orchid Crafts.The cute little gems are from Prima.Loving these...probably why I have all of them.LOL.But you know me and bling,gotta have it ! ! Those cute little words are from Cosmo Cricket's Tiny Type alphabet stickers.The sentiment was actually all together ,I just cut it up.


So I hope you can get a little pink crazy and join us ! ! 
HUGS..............

Queen of Hearts

OK here's my attempt at a book card.It's a little time consuming but I think (still thinking) the end result is ok.I used the image from Saturated Canary called Queen of Hearts.She's just adorable.My papers are from Echo Park . Love this line....

A little bit of details on embellishments...The hinges are Tim Holtz grungeboard, flowers assorted from Wild Orchid ,the hearts are from Quickutz die cut out of corrugated cardboard. I covered them with fire brick distress stain.I believe that cute little key is from Prima(I think lol) The feather I found in the dollar store. 
inside of book card...some yummy chocolates..and on the other side is a tag with a sentiment from Stampendous. The inside I used a Martha Stewart border punch.



A close up hinges wrapping around...I used distress stain and rock candy on it.


I am entering the following challenges:
-Anything Goes: To the one I love
-Papertake Weekly :Highlighting (my image has been colored with smooch)
Saturated Canary Challenges:Use dies or punches(yep used both)
Simon Says Stamp:Anything Goes
