Challenges-Featured Stamper & Color

Today I had lunch with my daughter Cristine at Panera. We had a good time. I gave her the souveniers I brought back for her from Alabama. She liked them! Then I went for my 30 minute massage. I just had one last week, but I really needed it. I keep most of my stress in my neck and shoulders! Then I made a trip to Michael's. I found a few $1 Stamps from Studio G, some Rhinestone stickers, $1 ribbon (like I don't have enough) and a couple of new punches. (They were 40% off). So I came home and got busy. I made 2 challenge cards today. Baby Brooke did come home today! Her Daddy had to put her swing together, because she didn't like sleeping in her new quiet room!!

My first challenge card was the Featured Stamper of the week, "Justpaintingaround" on SCS.
Recipe:
Stamp: Studio G $1
Paper: Lovely Lilac, Pink Pirouette, Pink Passion, Shimmery White, Cloud 9 "Palace Walls" (Sparkle Cardstock)
Accessories: Primas, brads, Rhinestone stickers, Nesties Labels 2, Martha Stewart Border Punch, Fibers, Pebbles Chalk, Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol, Stickles


My 2nd card was todays Color Challenge on SCS using Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip & Riding Hood Red. I paper pieced her dress with polka dot dp and shaded the white area with pink chalk, although it is hard to see in the picture. I also put a piece of light pink paper on the inside, which I punched the edge.
Recipe:
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red, SU dp
Stamp: ElzyBells "Flower Girl", SU Oval All
Accessories: Nesties Labels 2, Primas, Brads, Oval & Scallop Oval Punch, Prismacolor Pencils, Pebbles Chalk
