I've Got a Secret to Share!!!

Hello & Happy Friday--yehawwww! I'm so ready for this weekend--sleeping in, reading & hanging around doing nothing! My fave kind of weekend :o) Well I've been keeping a BIG SECRET from you all for quite awhile & it's been sooo hard not to give you a lil' hint, but I resisted, just like I resist sugar everyday, LMBO! Well what is that secret you ask.........hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....it's a BIGGIE for sure!!  You ready for it, ready for it---LMBO!!

GUESS WHO's GETTING DIRTY???


Yeppers, I'm officially a Dirty Girl as of today--WAHOOOO!

Do you know what that means or do you think I'm just being "dirty"? LOL  It means that I was asked to be on the Dirty Dozen Design Team for Splitcoast Stampers!!  If you're familiar you know what a talented & awesome group of ladies have come before me and I am SO very honored to have been asked, and thrilled & overwhelmed too!  When Jenn Balcer first called me I thought I might have done something wrong on my uploads on SCS, LOL--so I was lost for words when she asked me!  WOW!  I'm still a nervous wreck about it--never did I think I would get this honor nor did I think I was talented enough to join these gals cuz' they all ROCK!!

If you're interested in seeing the Dirty Dozen Gallery--you have to become a Fan Club Member at SCS and you can do that HERE!  Lots of great benefits for joining like fast uploads and access to special galleries!  My work for the Dirty Dozen will only be in the Fan Club gallery, not here on my blog until after my 6 month term is done--so if you want to see you have to join 'kay!  This month's gallery theme is all about "Fun, Flirty & Feminine" and it's a BEAUTIFUL gallery of inspiration I tell ya!  And my Dirty Girl partner this month is the fabulous Edna--you can see her blog HERE!

And for all of you who have been wondering why I'm so scatterbrained and working long hours and don't know my own name some days, lol--now you know why!! LOL

Aurora Release by Victoria Case for SCACD



Let's pause & say it together "Awww, isn't she the cutest lil' sprite?"--hee hee!  This my friends is "Aurora with Tulips" and I just ADORE her!  This collection by Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design is just beyond cuteness--you will love little Aurora and her friends and you can see them all HERE!  The DT is putting on a Blog Hop for ya today and I'm the last one on the stop!!  So if you're starting here with me you need to head to the start of the (blog hop starts at 4 am EST) Blog Hop with Jennifer Greco HERE!!

I think the dp is by Anna Griffin or K&Co. but I'm not sure--it was a scrap leftover (which I'm faithfully trying to use) paired with PTI cs!  She's of course colored with Copics and there's lots of stardust stickles and diamond glaze too!  I used my Nestabilities Labels 8 to cut the image out & outlined it with stickles--I layered lots of Prima flowers and roses together too!  I painted the edges of my cream Prima Roses with Light Purple Inspiration Paints to match & to make them shimmery!  I used my swirl punch and then added some pretty lilac pearls to bling them up a bit!

Now make sure & hop to the beginning of the Blog Hop with Jennifer HERE & stop by the store HERE to get your Aurora cuties!!

Copic Creations Challenge Blog



So since today is the 15th that means it's also another Copic Creations Challenge--this time our challenge was to color Ethnic Skin Tones and our sponsor this week is Phindy's Place (she has super cute digi stamps)!  I'm using "Love Cycle" today and she comes in both caucasian & African American styles--isn't she fab!  I used my fab new Basic Grey "Origins" papers because they're so retro, fun & cheerful!  She's colored with Copics (duh, lol) and her skin was colored with E25,E13,E11-- I also have a Copic Video on coloring African American Skin on my Tutorial/Template page.  I added some more Prima layered flowers (yes, I am on a Prima flower binge, hee hee) and some fun PTI buttons to the wheels of her bike.  The sentiment is from PTI's "Everyday Button Bits", diamond glaze on her bike and balloon and the grosgrain ribbon is from PTI as well!

Now make sure and stop by the Copic Creations Challenge Blog HERE to see all the fab DT samples and to join in the fun as well!

Now I'm going to go REST for awhile, because these past 4 weeks with Xmas activities, putting Xmas stuff away, doing Dirty Girl projects and regular DT projects has WIPED ME OUT, lol!  Jammies, chair & Kindle coming up...........
