Happy Birthday, Traveling, and a Giveaway on Saturday

Hello my beloved readers!

I am so sorry that I haven't been posting anything. I am truly feeling dreadfully sick, and now I am traveling as well (which is never a good combination). I am glad to see my family, even though my husband is stuck back in Pennsylvania working.

I just wanted to let you all know that at least this Saturday there is going to be a great post on my blog! It will be the FAIRY DAY BLOG HOP. Doesn't that sound like so much fun??? My hubby will actually be creating the card for it, and there is going to be a giveaway!!!!! So make sure to come check it out! I've seen his card already, and it is really cute! I don't know how I married such a creative man!

Also, I thought I would show you a little bit of what we have been up to. Our little girl just turned 2, so we had her birthday party. Sadly, since I was sick I didn't get to make her a card or anything, but I HAD to make cupcakes no matter how I felt!! haha. Enjoy the pictures.

If you would like to make my little girl a birthday card, she just adores fairies! You can contact me at patchesofpink(at)gmail(dot)com.

Hugs.

Link-Up Challenge Top 5 and New Designers

I can't believe this week is already half over.  I feel like I have been such a slacker with my blog.  Sadly, I still haven't made my way to my craft corner to "find" it yet.  It's a complete mess and I can't see my table.  I'm starting to notice that I have more crafting supplies than I have room for, so I'm currently in the market for some new and better ways to organize and store everything.  Got any suggestions?  Also, I've been feeling a little under the weather this week, but hopefully it will pass soon!  :)

So, there is a lot in this post so just hang with me.

First off, thank you so very much to all of you who linked up this week. We had 48 entries! Wow!! And they were all so wonderful that it made it extremely difficult to pick our top 5 favorites and also my new Patches of Pink Designers (yes, I said, designers, plural...so keep reading). All of my designers, my hubby, and I picked our top 5. Each time an entry got picked as #1 it received 5 points, #2 - 4 pts, #3 - 3 pts, #4 - 2 pts, and #5 1 pt. Then, all of these points were summed to figure out who the top 5 entries for this week were, so here they are...

#1

Cricut Chick

#2

Faith Abigail

#3

Michelle

#4

Pam

#5

Just Yolie

Congratulations to the Top 5!!

If they should choose to accept, the new design team members are...

2. Faith Abigail - http://www.faithabigaildesigns.com
3. Gill - http://creationsbygillm.blogspot.com

If you were picked as a designer, please email me at patchesofpink(at)gmail(dot)com to accept the position.

Thank you again to all who entered their projects. They were all so wonderful, and it was extremely difficult to pick only 1, so I picked 3 designers in the end.

I appreciate all of your support and your participation in my link-up parties. Your creations are truly my inspiration!!

Design Team Father's Day Cards and Link-Up Party

Don't forget to link up your own project at the bottom of this post!

Happy June Everyone!  Since it's the first Thursday of the month, that means it's time for another Design Team post.  Sadly, we are missing a few of our DT creations due to technology failure or not having enough time.  My DT ladies are wonderful crafters, but are also super busy with their own blogs, families, etc.  Summer is a busy time for everyone.

So, my designers were challenged to make anything Father's Day related.  They came up with some pretty awesome things for you.  

For this weeks Link-Up Party, you can link up anything you have been working on recently, but it would be wonderful if you would link up something you have made for Father's Day.  I'm so interested in what everyone is making for those special men in our lives and I'm always inspired by your creations. 

Here is my entry.  I was having a hard time coming up with a good Father's Day card, so my hubby had the great idea to make a card with a few qualities my dad has.  I thought this was a great idea and got to work.  I could have added a lot more, but I ran out of room.  Gotta love our Dads.

For this weeks Link-Up Party, you can link up anything you have been working on recently, although it would be wonderful if you would link up something you have made for Father's Day.  Please link up no more than 2 projects. The link-up will go through Tuesday night. Then, my designers and I will pick our top 3 favorites to spotlight!! Sounds like fun!

Do you want to become a Patches of Pink Designer???
Well, I'm not promising anything...
But I might pick another Patches of Pink Designer from the entries! Wink. Wink.
Good luck!
