Happy Birthday Amber Ink!


Twelve short months ago we made our big debut,

So now we'd like to commemorate our 1st birthday with you!

This flash mob of torchbearers always light our way.

Won't you please jog along on our special day?

Leave your comments here and there over the next 48.

On Friday we'll announce the loot. Don't wait...let's CELEBRATE!

I was lucky enough to be an Amber Ink torch bearer last February and am thrilled to be able to take part in this blog hop celebrating the first birthday of Amber Ink!

Since it isn’t a birthday party with out presents, cake, and a little vino, I made this card for the hop. Of course I had to add lots of gemstones because Amber, Pam and my teamies all deserve a little, well, make that a lot, of sparkle.

Your next stop on the hop is Michelle! Below you should also find a complete blog hop list, courtesy of a InLinkz tool. I won’t have a chance to check to make sure it works correctly on the day of the hop, so if there are any problems, you will be able to find the complete blog hop list on the Amber Ink blog.







Don't forget to hop around to all the blogs and leave comments for your chance to win Amber Ink goodies.

Thank you for hopping by!

P.S. While you are here, you might want to check out my blog candy post.

Pumpkin Spice - Birthday Wishes

While scrolling through the Pumpkin Spice shop, I noticed the great prices on the Christmas/Winter themed paper pads.    The fun colors and patterns on so many of the pages could be used for just about anything.   So I pulled out the “12 Days of Christmas” paper pad from My Mind’s Eye and set to work trying to make some cards.Since I never have enough birthday cards on hand, I thought that was what I would try first.  I started by punching out butterflies from several of the many patterns in the pad.    From there, I moved them around my card until I had an arrangement that I liked, added some stitching and stickers, and, “Ta Da!”, a birthday card! Since I also need a congratulations card for a friend , I thought I would see what I could make with the same paper pad.   I really love how this card turned out.(In real life, the glitter on the “U” is more similar to the aqua color in the paper.)So what do you think?   You can make some fabulous, non-holiday cards using holiday themed pap…

Catered Crop–Think Green Recipe Swap

The latest Catered Crop recipe swap is up!  With Earth Day on April 22 and National Arbor Day on April 25, it’s the perfect time to Think Green. Just make a project that includes the color green and come join our party at the Catered Crop.For my project, I dug out a photo of of our sweet Summer was taken about a year ago.   Although I have been pretty lax about scrapbooking the last few years, I really wanted to make sure I created a page with this photo for my daughter’s scrap book.   We lost Summer, who was a member of our family for almost 15 years, in February so this page seemed especially important to me.After finding some paper that used a lot of green in it, I used lots of various odds and ends that I found in my craft room.  I mixed various stickers and die cuts from other projects to create this page.  As always, Linda has curated a fabulous Pinterest board to get our create mojo working.  (Don’t you just love her boards?)    You can go directly to Linda’s “Green”board by cl…

Pumpkin Spice–What Time Is It?

Hello! Today is my day to post on the Pumpkin Spice blog. My card fits our current challenge, “Time”. We would love to see your project with either a word or element that implies time. I have to admit I was a bit stumped by the challenge at first. I could only think of clocks and watches, but I didn’t have any stamps that would fit. I finally had my “Ah ha!” moment and thought about looking up a quote about time. I found this quote from John Lennon that I really liked and the idea for my card grew from there and these beautiful Pebbles Inc. papers.I love these new papers from Pebbles, Inc. The colors are so bright and cheery, I had to use them to chase away the spring gloom we have right now. I love each of the 18 patterns (2 pages of each) included in the 6x6 pad.I hope this helps to inspire you to think out of the box and create a project for our “Time” challenge. You can link up your project and find the challenge details HERE. Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a fabulous …
