My Pinkalicious Blog Hop & Challenge November 2011

Happy Friday Everyone!




Hope you all had a wonderful week and are off to a great weekend!  Today has been SUPER crazy for me!  I am helping with a baby shower tonight and have already experimented with 3 batches of cupcakes before I got the right recipe.  They are super yummy now!  I'll share the recipe and pictures this weekend.

It is that time of the month!  My Pinkalicious Blog Hop!  If you've never participated in one of my blog hops, it is super simple.  Just start here (which you already have) and then click the next linked name in the list and go from blog to blog until you make it back here.  Then, participate with us on the challenge and share your linked picture at the bottom of this post.  I cannot wait to see what you create!

Blog Hop Rules:
- Please make something original just for this hop.  Meaning, don't find something you've already made that goes along with the theme and then upload it.  That is not a true challenge.  
- Have fun!
- When you post your project on your blog please link back here so others can also participate.  The more people there are, the more projects, and the more ideas for YOU!
- Please do not use my blog hop to promote your own business.  This has been happening on other blogs and so it needs to be brought up.    It's totally okay if you own a business to participate but please do not direct or promote your business through the link you share on my blog.  :)  
- You have until Sunday night to complete your project and you can make as many projects as you'd like!

Challenge:  Make a Scrapbook Page or any kind of Photo Book using the Cricut & my stamps (if you have them.  If not other stamps will work fine, too.)

I've noticed that a lot of us have stopped making scrapbook pages as much as we used to and I really wanted to encourage everyone to get started again.  Cards are fun but nothing beats creating memories for your family and friends.

I am giving away 2 of my new stamp sets that were just released a couple of weeks ago.....  Lunchbox Thoughts and That's Punny-licious.  My retailers are JUST getting these in stock today & the beginning of next week.  YIPPEE!!!  Click HERE to purchase them or HERE to check out all of the projects made so far.  To enter, just leave a comment below on WHY  you do or WHY you don't scrapbook!  





Here is our blog line up!  

Robyn (My Pink Stamper) - You are HERE!!
Michelle (Meesh's Pieces) <------- Go HERE next!

Love the Pinkalicious Blog Hop. I used to scrapbook a lot, but it stopped when I started to make cards. I love card making, but scrapbooking started it all. Time to get back to my roots. Thanks for the chance to win.

Glad to see you back posting again, but totally understand you wanting to do more with your family.

When I got my Cricut I was introduced to card making. Have not attempted scrapbooking. Guess that is something I will try next.

Gail said...

I think a picture on a page is worth a thousand words. I scrapbook because I want my family to have beautiful memories of the times gone by. I look forward to your work.

Luv Scrapping Together said...

Can't wait to hop and see all the projects. I haven't scrapbooked much but the few pages I have made have so fun. I guess I make cards because they are less time consuming and I have a completed project in a short amount of time.

I can't wait for you to share your cupcake recipe. They always look so yummy!

Hugs,

I scrapbook my 6 kids, so they have their "story." I didn't ever want to make cards, but its just a natural spin-off I guess - you have all the supplies, why not make cards?? Anyway, would LOVE to see some pages for inspiration - can't wait to start hopping...

jody said...

I scrapbook because I love being creative and constantly coming up with new ideas, designs, inspirations. Most of my things are "outside" the box, but that is what makes scrapping so awesome. You can make it your own and there is no right or wrong! Thank you for your blog, your time, your videos and instructions, your reviews and everything else you do for all of us! You are awesome and very much appreciated! Your stamps look awesome and I hope to try some soon!

June Houck said...

I rarely scrapbook because it is so much harder for me. I enjoy making cards because it is instant gratification. Though sometimes a card can take me hours too! I am so glad you came up with this challenge because I do need to scrapbook more often (my mini book is a mini scrapbook of our trip to Alaska last summer.)

Jennifer~My Creative Crafting said...

I am currently making a scrapbook for my hubby of our 2 girls. He's in the Army overseas and has yet to meet baby #2 :( it will be 2 weeks shy of her 1st bday before they meet for the first time, So for me I scrapbook for my husband :) he appreciated the time I put into what I make him and best of all supports my crafting habit, lol

Thanks for the hop :)

A friend and I were able to go to a scrapbooking convention at Birch Run Expo center in MI today and we were at the both "Close to my heart" and she was demoing the Art Philosophy and she has heard of the famous Pink Stamper!!! It was my 1st convention and wow it was over whelming!! Have a good weekend Robyn!!

Heidi Ebersole said...

I got behind in my scrapbooks for my daughter and went to digital photo books. I started creating photo books from santa each year for my daughter saying that santa has been watching her all year and adding pictures with all the important things from that year. I even left some wire rim glasses laying in the book one year like he was reading it and eating the cookies. But I love, love, love cardmaking and all kinds of projects with my cricut! I would love one of your new stamp sets.

I love to scrapbook because its fun and I get to keep memories in a cute way.

I need to scrapbook some vacations, but it is just overwhelming! I do make cards - seems easier for me.

EydieG said...

I love making scrapbooks for vacations that we have taken but can't seem to get motivated to make them for other pictures taken throughout the year. I'll start reading the hop and hopefully get some creative ideas!
Thanks for the chance to win your awesome stamps!

You are so right family comes first, they grow up to fast. I lost my oldest daughter when she was 18. Thank you for taking the time you do take to email us, makes me feel like a part of your crafting family:) This cartridge is really nice, so I will cross my fingers and toes to win:) wink

I make scrapbooks all the time. AND I make my students do them too! It's my favorite form of book report. ( I teach 6th grade) We've made scrapbooks for our biography unit, scrapbook pages for our service hours, scrapbook/pop up pages for setting...heh.. the kids enjoy it too!

Brenda said...

I used to scrapbook but then I too started to make cards, then parents got older and needed help now I need to get back to doing both as Mom can take care of herself at least for a few hours.
Thanks for the offer and I know whoever wins will enjoy.

Maria said...

I love to scrapbook everything from pics to letter and bits of materials from our travels. This way my daughter and I can sit together and remember everything we have accomplished!

M. Ross said...

Hi Robyn
When I entered the wonderful world of PAPER stuff about 3 years ago, my first ever weekend crop resulted in 20 pages!! When I returned home I received a thank you card so ornate, glitteratzied and embellished, I knew I had met my true calling. I love how I can GIVE my cards to everyone as opposed to invitiing everyne to my living room and looking at the books on my coffee table;) I need to get some of your stamps!!!

Alice Dilts said...

I am getting a Cricut for Christmas from my DH and am looking forward to getting back into scrapping and making cards.

quirky.girl said...

I love scrapbooking - I find most blogs focus on cards so I don't have as much inspiration - plus scrapbooking the same events year after year can be a challenge if you want to keep it fresh and original. Thanks for the chance to win and I hope you are recovering from your encounter with a deer - I know first hand how very scary that can be.

I have had a hard time making scrapbook pages in the past because I love to use lots of pictures on one page. But I have found a few new ways to help with my love of pictures. I am going to make a book just for the Washington DC trip we are on this week. Thank you Robin for this fantastic chance to win some of you stamps.

I was actually just working on a 12x12 layout tonight because i felt like i never do them anymore! I feel overwhelmed because i think i try to incorporate everything (cricut, stamping, chalk, distressing,etc) into one project! but i love to scrapbook to preserve the memories for my family and friends. it also just feels SO good to be able to create something!!

Felicia said...

I love taking photos and I literally carry my camera with me everywhere I go. I scrapbook because it is such a great and creative way to preserve the memories. With scrapbooking, you get a story, journaling, emotion, etc. I also love that in scrapbooking, anything goes!

I scrapbook so that I can share the memories to my future children. I love to preserve the memories and have even started an album about my Fiances family so that our future children can see how our families started out. I also scrapbook to share my love of the craft with others. I love to make personal gifts and give them to other people. On top of my own personal albums I have made at least 5 others for family members.

hmm tough question. I have all the stuff to scrapbook, but I think my reasoning for not actually using it is because I dont want to take on the HUGE task of sorting my years and years worth of pictures.

happishay said...

I do scrapbook, it started after I married just as away to hold my cards and memories from the wedding as an album. We wed at the house on a small affordable budget and still do not regret a decision to this day. The scrapbook started an in-law on an obsession as well. Now I have to go back through the life of the twins and every event onward! We love it :)!!

I've recently gotten back into scrapbooking after participating in a month long sketch-a-thon. I love being able to look back at my memories and have them showcased so beautifully.

I love scrapbooking. It's such a great way for me to preserve my family's memories. Thanks for the chance.

Yaneri said...

I believe it's the timing! Working full time, taking care of the house....it's hard to find some time out for yourself. Us women we take care of other first than ourselves. But one sweet day, I'll go back in my craft room and try to be inspired! And just by doing this blog hop, it's given me the drive to get back at it right now!!!!

Tracie said...

I love scrapbooking! I went away from paper scrapbooking for years - went to digital. Now i'm all caught up on my digi albums so I can work on my paper scrapbooking! Yay!

I love to scrapbook so that the memories can be shared with my family!

Missy said...

I love scrapbooking because it's such a great way to hang on to all those memories that mean so much! And I don't do enough of it!!!!! :) Can't wait to see your cupcake pics Robyn....I made your Pumpkin Spice cupcakes for a church even this evening and they were a HUGE hit!!! Keep the recipes coming!!

Donna said...

I like to scrapbook as a way of life.

Stef Baker said...

I do scrapbook - I just don't do it as much as I would like to.

It's important to me to record memories for my children. Without them, I can't remember the details surrounding the pictures.

I scrapbook because it give me and my grown daughter quality time together and she is very ill right now, so every minute is precious and it also lets us preserve these moments together!

Creative Diva said...

What a great hop. This is a fun challenge because I am excited to see what LO to create. I love to scrapbook because I enjoy capturing and showcasing wonderful and fun moments. Unfortunately, I got so caught up in making cards, that I fell behind in scrapbooking. So this challenge will definitely help me get back into it. Thanks Robyn for the inspiration.

I try to scrapbook but find that I lack inspiration, creativity and motivation so I end up just making simple cards and leaving it at that. I don't feel like anything I scrapbook is ever good enough for the picture I put on it.

Cheryl said...

I love scrapbooking, but seem to be able to only do it at crops. Never enough room inn my apartment. Wish I could have your Pink Stamp Room!! Your stamps might give me incentive!! Hope you are OK Robyn after the accident!

Arin F said...

I swear you were reading my mail this week. I was just lecturing myself about the lack of motivation I have on scrapbooking. That is the whole reason I bought a Cricut. Why I have not been scrapbooking? I am literally 3.5 years behind (my oldest will be 4 in March) and I am so overwhelmed on how much I have to do to catch up. Card making and birthday banner making is such an instant gratification that I have been avoiding scrapbooking! I am now off to bury the stinkin' thinkin' about how behind I am and uncover an enthusiastic creativity! Thank you MPS!

AND I took more than one picture a day and so much journaling lol, wondering if I will ever finish it. Hoping I can find a some time to do a layout - its been on the back burner lately...

I just got home late tonight - so I will be hopping in the morning! But...I LOVE to scrapbook, and just have a hard time finding a long enough stretch of time to do it. A card is easy to start and finish in a short amount of time, but scrapbooking is truly a labor of love. Trying to get caught up a little more lately though - so it's all good!

I love to scrapbook and have been doing it for the last 2 1/2 years. My problem is I am a random scrapbooker and sometimes I use current pics of my grandkids and then I go back and pull old pics out of photo albums from 30 some years ago! I have fun though!

Woohoo! That was such a fun hop! Lots of great inspiration. I do like to scrapbook because I have a horrible memory and this is a special way my kids can remember what their childhood was like. I've been working too much on cards lately and neglecting my layouts. So... I'm off to make my scrapbook layout. : ) Thanks Robyn.

I used to scrapbook alot, but then the boys got older and into sports, church youth group, school activities and working fulltime myself - well timing is my issue. Hopefully this will give me inspiration to work it back in.
Thanks

Wendy said...

When my children were younger, I had a group of friends that would get together every week and scrap-booked. Lots of visiting and pages were accomplished. Now our children are older and keep us way to busy. I will get back to it hopefully very soon. I keep telling myself you Have to make time. Thanks for a chance to win. Wendy@arrowa.com

Laur' said...

I have been making cards for over 15 years. I would love to do scrapbooking, but with a full time job, there just aren't enough hours. I will retire in 3-4 years and will start then. In the meantime, I got my granddaughter started at age 4 and she is doing a fine job! I bought her her own Cricut for Christmas this year...she will be THRILLED to have it (she is only 6).

I love your blog and everything you post just inspires me to do more. Thanks for all you do and for the fabulous giveaways. I have several of your stamp sets and can always use more!

This has been so fun. I love all the great ideas. I don't scrapbook much...the idea sometimes overwhelms me (and I'm really picky). I have been card making for about 6-7 years, but I want to do more scrapbooking...I think my kudos would love it.

Tina said...

I LOVE to scrapbook. I make both grandparents an 8x8 album of the year (so they will receive 2011 in December). BUT, that makes it so I really don't get my albums done. So, I am hoping to start taking some time for mine.

Thanks for the opportunity!

Hi Robyn,

Thanks for the opportunity to win some of your wonderful stamps! I love scrapbooking! It is so rewarding to see my daughters pull out our family albums and spend time looking at them. It also gives us an opportunity to talk about our family values. I seem to perpetually be about two years behind, but I'll get caught up eventually. : )

I started scrapping with the birth of my second baby. With my first being 2years old at the time, I wasn't too far behind with her. It's such an awesome way to see them at different stages in their lives and such an awesome way to watch them grow!

I try to do all your hops but this one is going to be hard because we are moving in today. Finally get my hands on my scrappy stuff so hard to not have them for the last month. I scrap to leave memories for my family. I do not have many pictures of myself of my parents as infant and I want my children to know more as much about how they grew up.

I love your blog hops! But yesterday, my baby boy turned 1, on 11/11/11! Crazy! Anyway, I love to scrapbook. It makes me happy. I got diagnosed with thyroid cancer when I was carrying my 3rd child and only 4 months later my husband was diagnosed with ms. It was a really hard year for me, struggling with health issues and a beautiful new baby. But scrapbooking made me happy. It gave me a sense of normalcy when I felt like my world was spinning out of control! Plus, I am not so good at keeping journals, so my scrapbooks are my journals!

Robyn, the hop was awesome! Thanks for all the awesome stamp sets you've created and for sharing all the amazing ways to use them! It's been fun!

MaryBeth said...

I started out as a scrapbooker and loved it! Friends got me into card making and loved that too! I am trying to get back into scrapbooking to preserve those memories! Love your blog & your creative ideas!!!

I scrapbook because I want a creative way to store all of our family memories. Plus it my Mommy time, when Daddy takes the kids and lets me have some time to myself.

Thanks for the chance to win!!

Oh and I scrapbook because I love telling the stories of our family, so I always have to work in lots of space to journal! I have a horrible memory, so it's a good exercise for me and a way for me to help me remember in the future!

Mary said...

I always thought to myself what can I do to leave a part of myself when I leave. Well it would be nice to think when I'm gone that people many years from now would love to look at my scrapbooks, like ART!!!! I put a lot of time in my pages, like ART!!!! a piece of me. Thank you for the chance to win, you're the best!!!!

I am new to creating anything and I found that scrapbooking was the ideal place to start. What is more inspirational than the ones you love - whether that is your family, your friends, your pets, whatever. I joined a card making club to try it, and it's fun but it doesn't have the same pull for me as scrapbooking does.

To finish a scrapbook every month was my new years resolution. then i got engaged, then i got married so that kinda screwed up my motivation. With a new promotion at work comes more responsibility. I hope to achieve my goals definitely next year! Scrapbook pages take a loooong time to plan for me.

I love to scrapbook, but have done less and less due to changes in life. Now I have all these photos and products and I feel overwhelmed trying to use it all. Because I still bought during my less than scrapbooking days, lol. So, I really need to keep on trying to scrap the memories for my family versus trying to use it all.

I actually started out doing layouts but have ventured off it onto 3D items and cards. Someday I do need to get back into them. All the projects on the hop have been wonderful inspiration. Glad your OK after your run in with the Deer. Linda Harris Lsunflower58@aol.com

Kathy said...

I've only scrapbooked a couple of times, for special family or missions trips. I think it would be too time consuming and just plain overwhelming to keep it up all the time. I do enjoy looking at others' creations, though! Thanks for the chance to win.

I scrap because I love to relax, and this is a great way for me to do it by scrapbooking. I als enjoy looking back at my scrapbook pages and see how beautiful my pictures look on there scrapbook pages.

I am not naturally creative, so your site is so inspiring. I love being able to create something that my daughter will cherish and show her kids.

Unknown said...

I must admit, I don't scrapbook because to me photos can distract the eye from the layout. My solution...designing the layout around favorite recipes! It fulfills my need to scrap, is beautiful to look at, and makes a great gift! (Card making is still my fave.) Love your site.

I scrapbook but I do it in spurts. I love to make mini's but storing them is a challenge. I have two to make for gifts so this is a good opportunity form me to get to work! Now that I have grand children my craft time is more limited.

Sonya said...

I love to scrapbook--it's such a great creative way to capture my family's memories. It's very important to me to record what we did and what our lives are like. And I enjoy the artistic side of it, too! Thanks for the chance to win!

I don't srapbook, I like making cards; something about the instant gratification! ;) I do like to scrapbook digitally, because then you can produce several copies to give out as gifts!

kquade said...

I agree, cardmaking is easier, but scrapbooking tells our stories. The best way is to get together with friends in a dedicated space and time and see how many pages you get done!

I love to scrapbook and make cards. Now, if only I had more time!

I scrapbook to make a simple photo look pretty and tell more of a story. I love scrapbooking my grandkids.

Sandy Ference said...

We are raising our grandson, who is 3. His father, our son, passed away this past Apr. I want to create very special memories for our grandson, since he will never really know his daddy. His "mother" never did a baby book, so I am incorporating this into it also.

I love cardmaking, but 2 weeks ago I create my first scrapbook album as a gift for a friends name day!!! She is a profesional photographer and I thought that a scrapbook album would be a great idea!!! After that I was really in love with it!

miranda said...

I wasn't sure if you had to post a project before you could comment, but then I only see 3 projects posted so I think I am ok to comment first. I am working on my project now and am hoping to post it this evening. On to my answer...
I was so excited to work on a scrapbook page for this challenge because I have been trying to catch up recently on some of my daughters pictures. I love scrap-booking, It seems like I am challenging myself all the time though because I am not used to using my cricut in my projects, this one seemed doubly challenging because I also NEVER know how to use stamps on my projects as well. So a challenge is what it has been :). Thanks for inspiring us Robyn! Oh, and I will keep you and your recovery from your accident in my prayers. Grateful that God protected you from more harm.

Lawrie said...

I started scrapbooking as a hobby a long time ago. I didn't put too much effort into it at first, but over time I figured out that it was actually a very pleasant experience. I have become much more picky and precise in my scrapbooking over time and have recently completed a scrapbook documenting my daughter's first year of life. I did it primarily for my husband so that he could see her year in pictures (he was deployed). I will continue to scrapbook to preserve as many family memories/experiences as I can.

BugBites said...

Great challenge and awesome projects from the DT.
I love to scrap because I feel a great sense of accomplishment when I have made something from just scraps of paper. I also enjoy looking back at all our family memories in my albums, vs thumbing through pictures in a box.

KayB said...

I am not participating in the challenge this time around but so glad I have the time to sit down and hop through the blogs. :) I SCRAPBOOK because it's a fun way to preserve memories. They are all we have! ksantell@gmail.com

Julie's Paper Treasures said...

Hi Robyn, I started out scrapbooking about 10 years ago, then about 3 years ago I started making cards. I try to alternate between card making and scrapbooking, but I never seem to have enough time to do either one unless I'm working on a specific project.

Jens Craft Corner said...

I scrapbook as often as I can, which sometimes isn't too often. I try to keep up with all the memories of daily life. Although, sometimes it takes me a week to complete a page, I keep plugging away at it.

Jamie D. said...

I am just now getting back to making layouts. I had to take a break but I do miss it and I'm slowing getting back into scrapbooking. Thanks for the challenge!

I made my first scrapbook, a 105 page 12x12 size of my grandson's high school sports two years ago. It turned out awesome, but I haven't wanted to make one since. It wore me out! Cards are my first love so I'm going to stick with them.

Deanna said...

Why or why not I scrapbook? I don't at least not yet. As hard as this is to believe I am not a huge picture person, probably because I hate having my picture taken. I got into papercrafting making cards and just haven't strayed yet.

Angie said...

I have been scrapbooking for about twenty years. I love it!!! I love all the cute and fun stuff you can do with paper, stickers, and rubber stamps. It is a great way to store you family geneology. I enjoy doing geneology too. I would love a chance to win..

AJ Scrapbooking and Cards said...

Wow Robyn the ladies have out done their self. SO many great projects show casing your stamp. It makes it hard to choose just one. Love them!

I scrapbook to have memories I can’t go back on or remember. Sometimes in my busy life I miss out on good things but because I have my camera with me at all time I’m able to capture those picture I would not be able to remember with my mind or wished I had save. I scrapbook so that my family can have memory for a life time and I scrapbook so my children can pass on joys of life we tend to let pass us by when were not look. I could go on but I know you all understand because most of do it for the same reason.

Happy Crafting AJ over at AJ Scrapbooking & Cards.

Just saw your post about your accident. SO glad you and the other car are okay. I hope the deer's okay too :( I love scrapbooking b/c it's the one place / time that I have to myself when I have some free hands / time away from my daughter. I just bought a cricut this past week and now I love scrapbooking even more b/c I can do SO much more!

I enjoy scrap booking because I like looking at the pages after finishing a scrapbook page. Currently, I am trying to make a scrapbook of some memorable moments of my son who will be turning two soon!

Stephanie said...

I used to scrapbook way back in the day, but I just got to a point where my imagination was more than what was available, product wise, at the time. Now that I just got a Cricut, I think I will do more scrapbooking, but I will mostly use it for paper crafting.
