Hello & Happy Monday everyone!! Hope you all had a pleasant weekend & enjoyed Mother's Day! I had a lovely weekend with my family. We took a long walk along the creek and Potomac River with the dogs & grilled outside & had some good wine. The kids brought me breakfast in bed and all my lovely gifts (a pandora bracelet with charms & zebra clutch and new running shoes)! The running shoes were bought because today starts my "Suzanne needs to lose 20 lbs" kickoff, LOL! So hopefully in 8 weeks I will be where I need to be--an hour everyday of cardio, weight lifting & some Wii Fit!! So I'll keep you informed on how I'm doing! I'm modifying my horrible diet & reducing my Cherry Coke addiction to just 1 a day (GASP--can I do it, LOL)! I'm determined to get this weight off & feel like myself again!! Wish me lotsa luck!! :O)
**NEWSBITZ--Today kicks off a week of reveals for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design!! A new line of stamps by Victoria Case for SCACD will be available on Friday!! These are just about the cutest stamps I've evah' seen & you will LOVE them!! Wanna win a set? Go to the store blog HERE to get all the details & see some sneaky peeks too!! The DT will also have a BLOG HOP on Friday to showcase all of the stamps for you! You do not want to miss out on this!! ***
My first card today showcases this super-cute set "Sweet Pea" by Pink Cat Studio! These babies are so cute and I really wanted to showcase how versatile this set is--these stamps don't have to be used just for "baby" stuff! All of the supplies on this card are available at 7 Kids College Fund! The dp is Basic Grey's "Urban Prairie", the sentiment is from Hero Arts "Thoughtful Messages" and is colored w/ Copics! I really love how this one turned out--makes me smile! NOTE: there is no belly-button bling, just the way it stamped, LOL!
Second card I like to call Antique Rose! I watercolored this precious "Tilda in Hat" from Magnolia-licious with my Distress Inks. (You can buy Distress Ink reinkers from my pal Marti at Pez-a-doodle). The yummy dp is by K&Co "Madeline" which I picked up at Michaels cuz' I couldn't resist! I made my own hatpin and added some Kaiser pearls and the sentiment is from PTI's "Mega Mixed Messages".
I really love to watercolor but it does take longer than coloring w/ copics, lol! I added some stickles to her hat band & dress front! The cutouts are made with the "Peony" nestabilities (all Nestabilities at Susana's store are 15% off thru the 17th)!
I promise, promise to have my "gift" slideshow up for you tomorrow! Hope you all enjoyed my projects today!! I'm off to work-out hee hee--hope I don't pass out! LOL
hugz,
Suzanne
