Think Pink
Late post today . . . I was out all morning shopping for "long" pants! Since the weather is finally getting chilly around here and since I am still carrying some baby weight (arrrggghhh!!) I needed some pants for winter (my summer wardrobe is mostly comprised of cropped pants). So, since I am NOT planning on staying this size for very long but know, after 4 babies, that I will not lose until I stop nursing, I headed to the GW (Goodwill) for some jeans. You know, you can find some great stuff at Goodwill! I came away with some beautiful, dressy Talbot jeans for $4.99, 2 other pair of jeans, some Nine West stylin' brown leather boots ($5.99) and an LL Bean turtleneck cotton sweater ($5.99) - LOVE IT!! Who says you have to pay retail for nice stuff?? :)
Ok, enough . . . I spent some time yeterday with the new MFT set Think Pink. This set is available in the Paper Pretties Corner Store or in the Think Pink Limited Edition Paper Pretties Card Package. Remember that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of every Limited Edition package is donated to a Breast Cancer charity so your purchase is very appreciated!
ETA: I forgot to say that the first card is using Julee's sketch for Mojo Monday Week 6 . Such a great sketch!! Thanks for the inspiration Julee!!
Here are two cards I came up with yesterday and since I spent all my time chatting about GW I will just leave you with the photos for now! But let me just say the DP in card #1 is Basic Grey and in #2 is Paper Salon (available from the Paper Pretties store). I'll try to get back later and fill in the rest.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Love these cards, I am jealous, never find such great goodies at Goodwill,guess I will have to hit the ones in the better neighborhoods.
