Here is a creation from Guest Designer, Jessica Shelton from Jessica's Craft Shaque!

"Hello, Jessica here in the Buckeye State.  I am honored to be joining Gopi today as a Guest Designer here at Create Me Pink. 
I have always loved the Arts and I am no stranger to paper crafting since it has served as a constant in my life over the last few years.  I enjoy working on creating wreaths, painting pictures, wood crafts, and altering an item into a masterpiece.  Definition of masterpiece ~ anything that can be seen with the eyes, admired, and enjoyed.   I am fortunate enough to have found and fallen madly in love with my soul mate, Lance.  I am also blessed to be able to stay at home with my 5 lovely children whose ages range from 21 months to 16 years old.  I love the color purple, all types of music, and strive to make people smile!  A few of my favorite life mottos are "Laughter is Good Medicine", "No questions is a dumb question", and "Don't forget, Karma bites".  So to sum it up, "Live by the Golden Rule, ask lots of questions along the way, while laughing whenever possible!"

I can't wait to meet many more friends and gain even more inspiration from new and past followers!  :O)  Please feel free to visit my personal blog at Jessica's Craft Shaque.

For today's challenge, Gopi asked me to use one of her adorable images to create a project.  I happily accepted the task.  I have had some wonderful strawberry print paper for a while and do not recall ever using it.  So this was perfect.  

Here is my card and please feel free to visit my personal blog to learn how I created it!!!"

Be sure to visit Jessica's site to see details on this card along with so many other projects.  Get to know her...she's not only a great artist but an awesome person!  Thanks for joining us Jessica!

"Baby Boy" Shower Card

Hey Everyone!

Lots of exciting things coming your way!  Going to begin releasing my very own digi stamps in the near future!  I'm so excited to be able to do this.  It's with the help of  my fiance, as he's the real sketch artist in the relationship.  No really...along with being an actor, he's also a professional artist!

I've been keeping busy with researching, setting up a site, and of course entering into a few challenges.  I made the following card for the Indian Craft Room (ICRC12). Here's my entry!


The challenge asks for you to use dots and/or stripes, and to include a tag!  Check it out!
