Fall Splendor!!

Hiya Friends & Happy Middle of the Week!! Thanks to everyone for their well wishes---I get at LEAST 10 sinus infections a year (especially in the spring & fall) so I'm pretty used to it, although they are not fun! And yes I use a Netti Pot, Nasonex & take vitamins, hee hee---doesn't matter, still get 'em (I blame it on genetics, my mom is the same & so is my son--so thanks Mom, LOL)! It is cool & dreary here in VA this week--kinda depressing, need some sun--can someone send me some please :o)!

For those that asked CHA Winter is in Anaheim, CA every year & it's a BLAST!! I laughed so much last year that my face hurt & I slept for 2 whole days after I came home from exhaustion, LOL! If I'm reading the newsletters from CHA, they are opening it up to EVERYONE for 2 days BEFORE the actual event so anyone can come those 2 days & visit & buy--see info for that HERE!

-Tomorrow Pink Cat Studio Digi Store releases some fabulously fun, new Thanksgiving/Fall images! Check back here to see my projects w/ them tomorrow!

******************************

I just love it when a card comes together EXACTLY like I imagined in my head, hee hee! I used to do alot of collage type of art YEARS ago & really loved it, so I'm just totally lovin' these collage stamps from I Brake For Stamps (see other project here). This one is called "Dahlia w/Ribbon Collage"see here (if you place an order for anything from I Brake For Stamps, get 10% off your order by using the code "SAVE10SUZANNE")!!

There is alot going on in this card--the image was stamped on top of my dp with Versamark & then embossed w/ Powder Keg Fall Splendor embossing powder (so pretty & shimmery). The background text was made by stamping my PTI "Text Backgrounds" onto the dp with rust ink. And I love, love this copper metal sheeting (get mine here)--I dry embossed mine with my Cuttlebug folder and then bent it a bit & attached w/ Scor-Tape (the sheeting is really fun to use). I made my own hat pin with some beads I had on hand--HERE is a great place to get hat pin supplies as well (if the pins are too long, I just snip it to the size I need w/ my Tonic scissors which I did here & then put an end cap on). I really, really LOVE this card, hee hee---it is so sparkly & lovely IRL--I hope to submit it, so we'll see....what do you think?

Next up are some Get Well Notecards I made up---with sickie season upon us, we can all use a stash of Get Well cards to have around! These are fun & quick to make up too! I love using this Lockhart Stamp Co. "Tissue Box" stamp--you can make it elegant or cutesy which is always fun. Today I opted for elegant and used some of my favorite Basic Grey "Eva" papers paired w/ PTI's cs & ribbon (plum pudding/lavender moon). I colored the image with Copics, added some stickles and used my Nestabilities Labels 3 to cut the image & cs out with.

A few pearls added to the bottom & then I love to use real Kleenex on this image--I just fan fold a small square & add it with Scor-Tape--FUN! And then you have some elegant Get Well cards for your stash!

Alrighty, I'm off to work on some projects for tomorrow including some new Pink Cat Digi stuff!!
