And finally to finish off the event, the one and only Jennifer McGuire who uses products from all of the other classes kits and combines them into cards. So fun and we always learn so much from her.

 The second class on Sunday was with the super-talented and lovely Yana Smakula. Love her bold colors and designs.

 Yesterday we wrapped up the Pink Fresh event with three more classes. This class was with the wonderful Kathleen Schmeltz. So fun!

 Today was Day one  of the Pink Fresh Create and Connect event. We had three classes and made two cards in each class. Carissa Wiley taught the first one, Dawn Woleslagle the second, and Jaycee Gaspar the third. So fun. Can't wait for three more classes tomorrow!

 More of the make and take projects

 Getting ready for the next Pink Fresh Create and Connect event next week-end, and have my homework done and now finished all of the make and take card projects that we create on our own. Love these events and Pink Fresh Studios!

 

Going to try my luck in the August 2024 Pink Fresh Studio challenge- Washi tape.  I have so many sets of it and rarely pull it out. Need to play with it more.

 Playing along on another PinkFresh challenge. Layers. I made a card along with Lea on her demo today and then changed it up a bit for this challenge. Love me some PinkFresh

Pink Fresh Challenge- Jan. 2023

 Pink Fresh Studios has a monthly contest challenge. For January, it is to use any of last year's challenges on your project, card or layout. I chose to go with November's, using texture. pink Fresh seems to be my go-to company now as I just LOVE their coordinating stamps, dies, stencils, hot foil plates and even washi tapes!

 Another challenge from PinkFresh Studios this month for World Cardmaking Day. i am so loving their products and slimline cards lately!

I have been trying to play along on some monthly challenges lately when time allows and having some fun doing so. Here is my Fall Leaves challenge for PinkFresh Studios using the colors they chose and leaves. Surprised by how much I liked it in the end. 

 It's time again for the wonderful kids coloring contest over at Altenew. I love their products! Brooklyn loves to play along every year and she did all four sheets again this year. Here are her entries.

Another card for the Gina K challenge. Same except I used different bling on this one.

 Finally opened up my kit of Gina K Designs and made a card for the August challenge using texture. I used her ephemera from the kit and layered her patterned paper and cardstock and die-cut her ovals and layered them, stamped a greeting on the oval and popped up the ephemera. So quick and easy! Used her latest five-minute card video for design. Will be making many more of these!

 

So here is another page I completed for the PinkFresh Studios August challenge, Backgrounds. I used a beautiful patterned paper for my background as the party theme was pink, her favorite color. We were celebrating my Mom's 89th birthday.

 

Well I decided to join the PinkFresh Studios challenge in the Memory category as well this month which is Backgrounds. So I stayed up late and put together this layout of my Mom's 89th birthday celebration. i printed a lot of pictures out so will enter another one after I finish it. love that this gets me creating again! 

 I have not played along in any challenges in so long, I decided it was time to give it a shot. i made this gorgeous card using PinkFresh Studios products for their August 2022 challenge- Backgrounds. I used one of their dies for the background of my card and then stamped and colored using their coordinatiing stencil set, then restamped and die-cut. Popped up the image with foam tape along with another of their greetings.  I love these sets as they make you look like a pro!

 I don't think I ever shared my Easter cards this year either, so here they are.

 We got together for Juneteenth and had a card-making day again. Here are the cards we created that day. Everyone designs a project and brings the supplies to share it with the group and we make them all. Such good times!
