YOU'RE SPECIAL

Good Morning,

It's Humpday! YAY!!!! Sure hope all of you are having a wonderful week and a good start for the holiday season. This is my favorite time of the year. My oldest daughter and family will be here the week before Christmas and leave on the 23rd and then on Christmas morning I will fly to my other daughter's for a week. I have 6 grandchildren and I looooooove being with them. Wished they weren't in other states, but both of my son in laws are in the military. One is a helicopter pilot and the other is a Captain - good place for them to be now since the economy isn't the best. Enough rambling.

On to happier things. This adorable image is PEACE from the ODDS AND ENDS SAMPLER by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD. I just love the name and her face is so beautiful.

PEACE is stamped with Memento Black Tuxedo Ink and colored with Copics and Prismacolor Pencils.

Hair: E59-37-33-31-50 Chocolate, Light Umber
Pants: C7-5-3 Cool Grey 90%-50%-30%
Top: BG15-13-11 Light Aqua, Parrot Green
Socks: BG11 Light Aqua, Parrot Green
Flowers: YG41-45-Y02 R39-37-35

The flowers she is holding and her heart necklace are highlighted with Stickles. To finish it off I used some flowers from my stash, CTMH ribbon, and Kaisercraft Pearls. I love the sentiment but I can't remember who makes it - sorry.

Please be sure to check out the store blog here for more fun and creative ideas.

SHOPPING ALERT: Susana has in some wonderful new stuff. The wood flourishes are really cool.

HI PRINCESS !!

HAPPY SUNDAY !!! Hope all of you are having a beautiful fall weekend. This time of the year is so beautiful, but the weather changes and allergies cause me to have lots of headaches and sinus infections, but I still love this time of year.

Don't ya just love this image? It is so versatile - Christmas, birthday, baby, etc. "PRINCESS" is from The Adventures of Loli and Friends by Sylvia Zet for SCACD. I stamped the image on a different paper than I normally use - it is PTI Rustic Cream Cardstock and then I used COPICS to color the image. Did ya notice the cute little trinket in the left corner? It is from BO BUNNY TRINKETS - GARDEN GIRL As most of you know, I love the trinkets. Her little flower headband is highlighted with STICKLES - STARDUST. I used KAISERCRAFT PEARLS to finish it off .

Be sure and check out the SCACD store. Susana has lots of new items and restocks. You don't want to miss out on all the fun stuff.

I would like to let you know a little about Susana. She is super generous, kind, and has the sweetest and most loving heart. I am so proud to be on her team and just want her to know how much I heart her and how dear a friend she is to me. So here's to ya !!

Thank you for checking out my creation. Hope you enjoyed it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY - HAVE A SWEET ONE

Good Morning!! I had so much fun making this card. It reminded me when my mother turned 80 years old 3 years ago and my sister and I gave her a party with all her friends. We printed out old ads, movie ads, records, etc. and decorated the room. The older people really enjoyed walking around looking at them all and reading them.

This image is ORDER UP - TABLE 5 from the CLASSIC RETRO CREW SET by Victoria Case for SCACD. She is colored with COPICS . If you click on the picture it will enlarge and you can see I made the whipped cream with 3D iridescent paint then I applied DIAMOND GLAZE on her name tag and the glass. The DP is ECHO PARK HAPPY DAYS which SUSANA has on sale right now.
It's been awhile since I have made an envelope card - need to make more of these for Chrismas with Gift Cards.

This image is HAPPY TOWN from the STREET VIEW SET by Victoria Case for SCACD. These are really versatile and can be used with so many different stamps. I colored with COPICS and accented the windows with DIAMOND GLAZE. The flowers and ribbon are from my stash.

Thank you for viewing my creation.
