Hello to you all! Hope your week is being sweet to you! I'm just warning everyone that the next two weeks on my blog may be a bit skinny---due to all the work I'm doing behind the scenes to get the "Color Me Creative Classroom" up and running and our NEW Mini-Magazine coming April 1st! I try not to view my to-do list as a whole, cuz' then I get overwhelmed so I'm just working my way down the list one bit at a time, LOL! But there will be posts everyday and new projects, just maybe not 2 a day :o) Last night my kid's middle school had a School Spirit Fundraising Night at our local Fuddrucker's and my son entered an eating contest, LOL!! He had to eat a whole, huge hamburger in a race against teachers, his principal and other students---omgoodness how funny! Wish I had a picture of it, too fun and the night raised alot of money for the school which is good. Nothing better than a Fuddrucker's burger, fries and shake I tell ya! Mmmm....mmmm Good!
-Also starting today we are taking subscription orders for our NEW Craft Mini-Magazine called "Through the Craft Room Door" at INTRODUCTORY PRICES. You can access the page with full description and pricing options HERE! The first issue goes out April 1st!!
-I will have the winner of the Zutter Distrezz Tool up on Friday I promise :)
The pretty swirls were made with my NEW SLICE MACHINE--woohooo! Love that thing cuz I'm not much of a Cricut gal (gasp)--I just don't have room in my craft room to have it set up and it's too much of a pain to pull out all the time. So enter the SLICE!! I bought 8 cartridges and I can store it under my table, pull it out when I need it and it's so easy to use! These swirls are from the "Basics 3" cartridge--I got all the cartridges at Amazon.com. I added some ink to them to distress a bit and then pearls from Kaisercraft and with my NEW White Pearl Pen by Viva Decor (wanting some of these? Susana will have more in stock by Friday--BUT she does have the opal Paper Pen in stock which gives the same effect if you want to make pearls)! I tied my bow with PTI ribbon and my Bow Easy and then made some hatpins to match! All of the flowers are by Prima's E-Line except for the small ruffly flowers (see those here).
She was colored with copics (pinks: R22,R21,R20 and Colorless/Blues: B01,B000) and then I added Smooch Illuminate to her bonnet and trims (love this stuff). Her shoes and eggs got a nice shiny coat of diamond glaze. I think she's a real cutie!
Now make sure and hop over to the store blog HERE to see the rest of the DT's lovely projects! I'll see ya back here tomorrow!

As always, your card is absolutely beautiful! I love coming here to see your creations.
ReplyDeleteYour new card has a very special warmth to it. The softness of the colors used brings the Spring holiday season softly into view. I just used that same background for a sign for my classroom pet..."Max's House!" He's a black guinea pig. I finished my sign just before I opened this email! I really like that background!
ReplyDeleteOh she is so sweet. Great card!
ReplyDeleteLove your card, Suzanne....it's so darling with the coloring and all the "goodies" you added. I too just got a Slice and I'm lovin' it!! It's so easy to use.
