Pink Elephant Circles and Scallops

First here's my take for this week's Pink Elephant challenge to use scallops and circles. It's a post it note holder but doesn't have any post-it notes in it at the moment because I don't have any. But I plan to add some because I think it will make a cute mother's day gift. It's very simple to make and I got the idea from the Vintage Plum Creative Cafe (great weekly challenge with tutorials).


Next is a card I made custom for a lady I met at a flea market. My friend wanted to sell jewelery there because it was supposed to be a craft show as well (but turns out it wasn't a place for crafters selling their wares) so I tagged along with my friend. It was mostly just a long hot morning for the two of us but I was delighted to make this card. I think everyone deserves a special and beautiful wedding card. Some of the details may be hard to see but the heart is glitter embossed and I used BG Boxer papers. I really hope she likes it.


Last but not least I want to share with you all a way to win some gorgeous digital stamps. Digiments is holding its first official contest in honor of its grand opening. Michelle the creator makes beautiful digital sentiments called digiments and will be releasing her first line on May 13th. If you'd love to win some fun sentiments that can be resized to fit any card or project visit the site. I have seen the collection and have even gotten to play with them and I know you'll love them if you win.

  6. Gosh Jess it took me ages to get to the bottom of your post cause I kept clicking on the links which I have saved to explore further later.
    I love your post it note holder - I've never done one of those so I reckon it is going on my to do list. The wedding card is lush - I love it.

    Love the idea of those digi sentiments - think I might have a go at that challenge - thanks for spreading the word.
