Color My World--Blog Hop!

Happy Friday to you!  I'm typing this up from Disney World for you today (actually the night before)--our flight was fine and we're staying at the Disney Swan this time.  We stay at a different Disney hotel each time we've come--next up is the Yacht Club with the kids next year :)  If you come here I highly recommend the Wilderness and Animal Kingdom Lodges--perfect for kids (w/ bunkbeds) and a lot of fun!  Anywho, I'm on vacay and hubby has given me limited time on the computer each evening, lol so I gotta get this done.  Today we're going to spend the day at Epcot--my most fave park next to the Animal Kingdom which we'll do on Saturday and Magic Kingdom on Sunday!  I'll tell Mickey & Minnie "hello" for you!  But, don't forget to stop back by on Sunday--I'll have a Magnolia Sketch project up for you as well!  And again, thank you sooooo much for all the wonderful, supportive and sweet comments and emails I've received from you all the past few days--it has meant so very much to me!  More than you will ever know!

PS--If the reader that won the NEW Zutter Distress electric tool from me in March is reading please contact me so I can send you yours.  I haven't had a chance to go back thru my posts to see who the winner was yet, cuz my memory is not so good.  So if you won, please remind me!  LOL

Color My World


Today my fab friend & pal Susana of Susana's Custom Art & Card Design releases a FABULOUS new set of stamps by Elisabeth Bell called "Sampler #4" today!  These stamps are so cute and will touch your heart I promise you that!  The DT is having a fun BLOG HOP today to showcase all these stamps for you today.  And if you've been hopping along Welcome and if you want to start at the beginning you can start at Aud's Blog HERE (and all the blog hop details are on the store blog here as well).


Today I get to share with you a stamp named after me, hee hee--this is "Little Suzanne" and I LOVE her!  Why you ask?  Because she reminds me of both myself, my daughter and my niece at that age (see my niece's pic below)--I was ALWAYS coloring or drawing when I was young (and old too, lol)!  My favorite present in the whole world was a new box of 64 Crayola crayons, coloring books and watercolor paints (and maybe a Barbie too)! I have always loved to color and draw--it truly is my passion and makes me happy so I'm thrilled to have this cutie-pie named after me!

The papers that I used I really love, but I can't recall who they're by but I know they are new, lol--if you email me about them when I get home I can check for ya (sorry) .  I distressed all the edges with my fabulous NEW Zutter Distress tool--I lovee that thing, but I will warn you that it is powerful so hold your paper tightly and don't let your young kids use it, 'kay?!  I used my Bow Easy for my bow, some Kaisercraft pearls and the scrolls were made with Spellbinders dies.


I colored her with copics (can't recall what they were exactly--R08,R04,R02 I think and BG11,BG10,BG000 for her clothing) and used W Copics for the shadows.  Some stickles on her headband, coloring book and belt got a coat of stickles for sparkle.  The sentiment is from PTI's "Tiny Valentines" set--I thought the sentiment was MORE than perfect.  I just fell in love with this set of Elisabeth Bell for SCACD stamps and this one in particular.

This is my niece Taylor on her 3rd bday coloring!

Now you need to hop on over to DANNI's BLOG HERE and make sure to stop by the store HERE to pick up your new stamps (and it's a steal if you get the whole sheet).  Hope you enjoyed my project and have fun hopping!

See you back here on Sunday! Have a great weekend!
