Hi friends & yay it's Friday!! We had the most beautiful weather yesterday here in Virginia--almost fall-ike (gasp) but I did enjoy it! Hubby and I had a fabulous dinner outside at one of our favorite restaurants and then took the doggies for a late nite walk--I even had to wear a fleece cuz' I was chilly--that NEVER happens in August. Hubby is playing golf today with work people & then we're headed out at 3 pm to do some shopping & dinner! Maybe I can twist his arm that I NEED to go to Michaels, hee hee---if he only knew what I bought online this week, omgoodness! Emma's Paperie got in all the new CHA goodies including all the new My Mind's Eye papers & of course I had to have them ALL along with some containers & 2 Martha Stewart punches, LOL! It was definitely a need in Suzanne's "book" :o)
I just have one pretty project for ya today! I used one of the fabulous new Whiff of Joy "Party Animals" to make a feminine baby card. This is "Fred Celebrating Elephant" but I've made her a girl that I'm calling "Elli", hee hee! As soon as I saw "her" I knew I'd use her for a baby's card--these stamps are so versatile for so many different occasions (invites, baby cards, birthdays, graduations, etc.)!! I colored her with Copics a lil' differently than usual--I left it a little dotty & not blended as well for a water-colored effect so it stayed soft. The layout is this week's Mojo Monday Sketch #98 and all the dp is from Stampin' Up.
I added some swirls that were made with the Spellbinder's "Shapeabilities-Flourish Accents" and accented them with pearls. The sentiment is in another Spellbinders set (that I use a ton) called "Double Ended Tags"--I added pearls to the ends instead of ribbon or brads. The roses are Prima mini roses which I just adore and I added some flower soft to her lil' bouquet. And what girl elephant can go w/o a lil' pink bow around their neck? Too cute!! Hope you like her!!
See ya back here Monday! Have a great weekend!
hugz,
Suzanne
