iPICKS #159

If you hadn't noticed, I haven't posted iPICKS for several weeks because the method I use to post them (Clipmarks) suddenly stopped working.  After turning to my brilliant readers for help and suggestions (several great ideas!), I discovered one option that was right under my nose!  I've been using Pinterest for quite a while now, but had no idea that I could use it to embed the URL code to post a photo and link to the original artist!  Thank you, Erica and LM, for educating me with your great suggestion!

Over the next few days, I'll be playing catch-up with iPICKS posts, then resume the weekly Sunday evening post on January 15.

BE MY VALENTINE


Oh, it's great to be on Winter Break!  I'm loving this relaxed stamping time!  Today, I was inspired by two challenges: Create with Connie and Mary Challenge #183, a color challenge of Blushing Bride, Pool Party, and Soft Suede, and Stampin' Queen Sketch Challenge #20.  I was pleasantly surprised at how well Soft Suede compliments Blushing Bride and Pool Party.  I had never played along the the Stampin' Queens challenges before, and enjoyed this unique sketch.

RECIPE
Stamps:  Delightful Dozen
Paper:  Blushing Bride Designer Series Paper, Pool Party, Soft Suede, Blushing Bride and Whisper White Cardstock
Ink:  Soft Suede
Embellishments:  Blushing Bride 1/2" Stitched-Poly Ribbon
Tools:  Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslits Die, Big Shot, Top Note Bigz Die, Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
Supplies:  Stampin' Dimensionals

CLIPMARKS HELP

I haven't been able to post my weekly iPICKS for several weeks because Clipmarks hasn't been working.  Out of frustration, I'm asking to see if anyone out there knows a solution to the Clipmarks problem I'm having ... after choosing my clip, then clicking "blog", there should be a new window that pops up where I copy and paste the URL code.  That window is not appearing.  Clipmarks lacks in the help department, I know of others having the same issue, and I've tried google searching for a solution - all with no answers.  Please e-mail me or leave a comment here if you are familiar with Clipmarks and know a solution.  Thank you!

Ink: Early Espresso, Versamark
