14 Days of Pink: Stamping white on pink

Today is Stamping Sunday---but the challenge of the group I belong to didn't match with my pink theme, so I'll have to share that manicure another day! But here's a really pretty manicure I did a while back!

Pretty, huh? This was my first stamping using Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri and it worked great! Nice smooth images without any smeary! Hurray! I may ACTUALLY be getting better at stamping! Here's what I used:

Stamping Sunday: stamping with a "7" plate

This weeks' stamping challenge was to use a stamp that had a number "7" in it. Most plates are numbered.  I'm still such a stamping newbie that I don't have many. I used MASH stamp number 17.  Sadly, this was my first and last time using it. I took it out of it's wrapper, used it to stamp one hand and then took it outside to take a photo. It rolled down into the crack between my front steps and my porch...never to be seen again. I didn't even get a picture of it! Dog gone it.

Stamping with Mash plate 17

This pretty dusty pink was a birthday present from a friend. I like to wear  more muted tones on Sundays for church so this was a great weekend color for me!

Revlon Berry Delicious, Insta Dri WhirlWind White and Pure Ice Dont' you Wish. I used Mash plate 17.

Inspired By: Birthdays: Cupcakes! It's my birthday!

Today is my birthday! Well, not JUST my birthday. I'm a triplet. I have two brothers. We were born in 1981 when triplets were totally a rare thing. My mom carried us for 38 weeks. We were all full term and BIG for triplets (Brother A was born at 9:59 am at 6 pounds 4 oz., Brother B was born at 10:00 am at 5 pounds 9 oz and I was born at 10:01 at 5 pounds 1 oz).  No NICU time for us! We all came home with my mother at 2 days old. Crazy business.  At any rate--it's cupcake day! Hot diggity! I made some super fun Shirley Temple cupcakes to eat AND got my nails did with the same theme!

Happy Birthday to ME!

This was a lot of fun and super easy with a dotting tool! I love it! I kind of wish I hadn't added the flecked topcoat (Sally Hansen Glass Slipper) but who can resist it!?
