**********************************************

Hello to all of our Pretty Little Peacocks

Welcome to Pinque Peacock’s

JUNE New Release
"PATRIOTIC"

BLOG HOP DAY #2

 WELCOME TO DAY #2 OF OUR BLOG HOP...

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you enjoyed Day 1 of the Blog Hop and if you didn't get a chance to check it out it's not too late.  All 3 days of the blog hop links are below and if you get lost you can go to the Pinque Peacock Blog and start from the beginning!

I am loving the Patriotic, 'Red, White & Blue" theme, even though I was so not ready.  I had all the patriotic stuff I could think of laying out on my tables and nothing!!  My mojo has totally left me and everything I did was junk.  I even wasted paper and I never waste paper!!!!!!!  So laying out on my desk were the new Prima Julie Nutting Doll Stamps and tags that I just got with the gift certificate I won on NSD.  So I thought I'll make a tag and use my new stuff!  Out come my Copic Markers, stamp pads and get to work.  OMG!!  It looked like a toddler colored it and so I did another one, not much better.  So now out come my watercolor pencils.  NOT!!  Did not work out well at all.  Now it was either colored pencils or crayons.  Colored pencils worked out best (didn't try the crayons).  By now my table and desk are a mess and I can't find anything, so I'm totally frustrated.  I did manage to finish the tag, but still need to make another one!!

Here is a close up of the new Pinque Peacock Patriotic 'Red, White & Blue' items.  The stick pin is so pretty and just love the fabric splendid swirl!

Another close up, but a little further away!  lol

Here is the whole 'child like' tag.  I did glue little gems to the dress and went through buttons and found the firecrackers and fireworks.  The other items I have no idea where they came from.  The blue stars are confetti that I also glued on.

Next stop on the hop is the wonderful and talented Robin!

Catch Up Wednesday!

Seems I am always behind, so here's a Catch Up Wednesday layout.  If you're like me I always look forward to the Olympics and when I heard that the Olympic train was coming through town I was so excited!!  It was in January of 2002, so that's why the 'catch up'.  It did go by rather quickly and was hard to take really good pictures, but this one came out pretty good.  

Here is the layout I made to honor Olympic Torch Train.

Still trying to use up 'stuff' I have.  The Pinque Peacock Ribbon Flower and Stick Pin are so pretty and add that certain something to the layout.  Most of the other items are from SIAS, a direct sales scrapbooking company that is no longer in business.  lol 

Here is a closer view of the Pinque Peacock Ribbon Flower and Stick Pin.

And here is a closer view of the picture of the Olympic Torch Train.  

Thank you so much for stopping by and if you're not already a follower of my blog, please take the time and become my newest follower!!

Layout Tuesday!

So today is Tuesday and I've made a layout using my favorite subject, Liam.  I don't do that many layouts these days, but I'm trying to scrap his pictures as I get them printed.  He's 8 months old now, so I'm already 8 months behind.  lol

I've been trying to use product I already have on hand for my all of my projects and so far it's working out.  For this layout I used all TLC paper and die cuts, Jolee's Boutique stickers and of course the fuzzy and fabric covered buttons are Pinque Peacock.

Here are a couple photos of the buttons close-up.  Love the fuzzy yellow ones!

This is the photo of the whole layout.

Thank you so much for stopping by and if you're not a follower already, please do!

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day 

I'm behind as always, but it was my honor to be a guest designer/friend on one of the talented Pinquettes blot, Nupur.  She is celebrating her 1st Anniversary on her blog, so go and check it out. Each day she is having a guest designer and all the projects have been amazing and still more to come.  So go check out her blog at Down The Memory Lane and see for yourself.

Here is the Mixed Media Album I made, more pages to be posted soon!  

This is a Prima album, but the crinkle ribbon is 3GirlJam and not sure where the key came from.  Sherry Mendoza was the instructor for the mixed media album and she is awesome.  She has since moved on from Prima, but I'm still working on finishing the album.

One Messy Scraproom!

I am posting pictures of my scraproom, but it's so not ready for 'visitors'.  My scraproom is a converted garage and usually an awesome place to play with all my goodies.  The past few years it's become a place to store all the stuff that's eventually going to go on a garage sale.  I'm afraid to show the whole room, lots of boxes and junk everywhere.

So here you go, my favorite place to hang!

These are my work tables/desk

More goodies and junk

Love this rolling cart with drawer for all sorts of goodies

Love my cabinets and there are even lights all the way across underneath and of course goody boxes on top.  Small paper pads, stamps, books inside.

Messy cabinet, but lots of ribbon.

This area is quite embarrassing, but now maybe I'll try to get it better organized!  There is a lot of garage sale junk all over and it makes it hard to get organized.

Can you say buttons!  I love buttons and all those jars are full of them.

Bulletin Board, some pictures on it.  I did paint the rag doll girl in the 80's with oil paint.  

One of these days I will post better pictures, took these real quick and they're not very good and the lighting is horrible.  Hoping to have the room back to myself by the end of summer and no more junk all over.  There are a couple of cool corners that I was too ashamed to even take pictures of!!  LOL

New May Release Blog Hop Starts Today

Pink Tag Friday!

It's Friday and any day is a great day for pink!  Pink is my signature color and I know I'm not the only one out there.  For today's project I decided I wanted to make a tag.  I love tags and 'pin' so many on Pinterest, but have never made one, so decided it was time.

I love all of Pinque Peacocks items, but the ones that I'm using for my tag are my very favorites!  They have all of the elements of my favorite things - pink, flowers, buttons - enough said. 

Here is a close-up of the flower and stick pin.  Gorgeous flower, I hated to use it!!  lol

Here is a close-up of the button and it's just as beautiful as the flower above! Just love the softness of flowers on the button and also that it's material.

Here is the whole tag and now I wish I hadn't put the polka dot paper behind it to take the photo, but thought it was cute at the time.  The lace is some lace that I picked up at a craft show last month and the ribbon for the bows I've had probably for years.  The white flower vine is Prima and have no idea where I got the bigger flowers, but have also had them for years.  The sparkles are Studio G glitter glue that I put on with a paint brush.  I cut the tag out myself using Paris Girl by Carta Bella (background is also the same paper pack).  lol  Around the edges of the tag I did use Tim Holtz distress ink Tattered Rose.

Have A Great Weekend!!
