Sweet Shapes in Pinks

Short post tonight--these Wednesday nights are tough with a full day of work, followed by my graduate school class in the evenings (only 4 more classes this semester . . .). This card is for both this week's SCS sketch challenge and color challenge. I used the Sweet Shapes set for the main images and sentiment and only pink images and papers (plus a touch of white).

To add some interest to all the pinks, I used different embellishments on all of the images on the main panel. The flower has a pink self-adhesive rhinestone center. The heart is covered with pink fun flock and the butterfly is covered with Pink Stickles.

I used some wide pink grosgrain around the patterned paper panel. I know I said I was having a hard time using this wider grosgrain, but I think it's starting to grow on me.

And on a non-stamping/crafting related note--Some of you may know that I work in education and that I am currently working on a masters degree in instructional technology. I thought I'd share something I saw in my class tonight that those of you who are interested in technology might want to check out. It's a You Tube video clip called The Machine Is Us/ing Us. It's a great way to learn more about emerging Web 2.0 technologies, of which blogs (and You Tube) are a part.
