What is your FAVE past Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge

**see the sticky post at the top of my blog for Christmas Candy**

EEk. I'm so late in posting this, don't tell my boss!! BWahah!! 

-----------------------------------

I just got back, yesterday, from my first agency nursing stint and might I say, IT WAS FANTASTIC! I'm in the process of trying to convince hubby to move to the lovely little town I traveled to. 

It was  4 hr drive (one way), the hospital is a 10 bed facility with an emergency room and attached clinic and PCH!  It was such a nice & different pace than what I am used to! 

It's always nice to see how other facilities operate! 

Thanks to those of you who sent me well wishes with my agency nursing. I must admit I was soooooooooo super nervous, in fact, I was nauseous. 

The downfall to the whole experience is the accommodations. A great little 1 bedroom apartment that is situated RIGHT BESIDE THE POLAR EXPRESS!! LOL It felt like the train was coming thru my room every 2 hrs, all night !! LOL The second night, I got some ear plugs and we were good to go!

I go back there on December 30 & 31! I can't wait!

The challenge at the Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge Blog  is to : 

SHOW US YOUR FAVE PAST TICKLED PINK STAMPS CHALLENGE

This challenge will bring us to 2012!! Yup! 

A new & exciting challenge will be showcased  in January 2012!! 

Until such time, we want to see what challenge you liked the best from ALL the past Tickled Pink Challenges. Think about it! 

Think hard! 

Was it stitching? 

Was it a shaped card? 

Was it to use 'Pink'?

I,personally, have chosen to use one of their great sketches. 

I LURVE sketches! 

This particular sketch is from challenge #24. 

Traditional colors!

I used Lil Lolita Shopping Ivy from the recent Tickled Winter Collection

Colored with copics and watercolor pencils, blending stumps and baby oil. 

The sentiment & holly arrangements are from a Some Odd Girl clear stamp set. I embossed the paper before I placed my stamps. Perhaps I should do it the other way around next time. Ah, live and learn! 

Ribbon is from the Ribbon Carousel. 

Can you see the bling around the sentiment, on her dress & the stocking? I added some liquid pearls beside 

Challenges for my card:
