another Flamingo

AWWEEEE she's a cutie! If you happened to see my first My Pink Stamper Blog Hop post then you remember this cutie...I actually created this chick first and from her was inspired to do my PINK FLAMINGO DANCER...but I thought I would share this girlie with you all! I used MPS Family and Friends Stamp Set for the cute sentiment...it was really 3 different stamps! I still think this is one of the most versatile MPS stamp sets!

Mini Album

Hi Everyone!! For this My Pink Stamper Post we were challenged to create a scrapbook layout! YIKES...I have ONLY been making cards sooo this was indeed a challenge! Instead of grabbing one of my old untouched scrapbooks I decided to create a new mini for a VERY SPECIAL event in my beautiful daughter's life!

On March 12, 2011 (two weeks ago) my 16 year old daughter made a choice to commit herself a life of physical and spiritual purity, there was a ceremony where 20 friends and family showed support of her choice. In this day and age of technology, having everything NOW and intimacies no longer being viewed as precious it is a brave girl to say I choose to wait! I am so proud because this was her very own decision. For the young people out there as the pastor said during the ceremony it is never to late to make this commitment, no matter what your past holds you can chose to be pure now. Happy hugs to all the young ones out there you are all so very precious!

I hope you all like the mini I made! My Pink Stamper's More Faithful Sayings was the perfect stamp set for this creation!{hugs}~Raechel
