Sunny & Sassy!

Hello everyone--How ya doing today!?  We're expecting severe thunderstorms today so I'm praying the power doesn't go out cuz' I've got some videos to get done--yikes!  Plus my one dog, Casey HATES storms and literally hides on my lap all day which means getting anything done is impossible, lol!  I'm hoping to have Class 4 for the Color Me Creative Classroom done by the end of next week, but with everything else I have to get done for my DT's, the next issue of the magazine and the Dirty Dozen projects done it's a tough one I tell ya! (BTW, stop by the Classroom Site HERE to see the new & awesome design that Veronica of VKDesign Co. created for me--you can grab the new blinkie too if you'd like on my sidebar)!!

For those of you that would like an update on my resident ghostie--well it hasn't been back for a bit.  The last appearance was a few weeks ago when I think my stress limits were the highest--I was vacuuming when the lights flicked off and on, my vacuum died out of nowhere and my kitchen clock fell off the wall & shattered.  It was so freaky that even my hubby was a lil' bit freaked out---the vacuum never did recover so we had to buy a new one.  But some people have said that ghost energy is attracted to negative energy and I certainly had a lot of it the past month & a half--but since we took our trip to NY I haven't had any weird occurrences or visits.

And thought I'd share a pic of my daughter with you since she wasn't in the Cherry Blossom slideshow, hee hee!  She'll love this :o) (NOT, but I love to get her riled up just for fun every now & then, hee hee)

-In order to take care of my 2 businesses and my other work more completely I had to (very sadly I might add) drop out of two of my DT's.  So I'm no longer with Mo's Digital Pencil or Pink Cat Studio---although you will still see me using plenty of their images.  It was hard to step down, but I had to make the decision for my own peace of mind and stress level but I'll miss them both a lot, both Melissa & Mo are wonderful ladies and I'm happy to call them my friends as well!  But Pink Cat Studio is looking for new designers HERE and Mo's Dream Team is looking for a guest designer HERE for the month of May--so go apply and show 'em whatcha' got!

Sunning Ladie Sadie!!



I've got a fun project for ya today--at least it was a lot of fun for me to make!  You know how I love those Humorous Seniors from I Brake For Stamps and I had to pull one out to use today!  I wanted to make a lil' gift pack of cards since it's been awhile since I've done that--so I used a fun and easy tutorial from the Scor-Pal site called "Sassy Stationary Stand" HERE (except I added some fun handles to mine so it looks like a beach tote)!!

This stamp is called "Sunning Sadie" and isn't this ole gal a barrel of fun--love her--you can find a bunch of these fun seniors HERE at I Brake For Stamps (don't forget to use the coupon code "SAVE10SUZANNE" for 10% off your whole order).  The papers I used are from Basic Grey's "June Bug" line--they're so bright & cheery, perfect for summer!  The sentiment is from PTI's set "A Day at the Beach" and then I've added a few fun buttons to match.  This holder holds 4 cards, 2 of each design & the matching envies.

Sunning Sadie is colored with Copics--love that bathing suit, it's her version of "itty bitty polka dot bikini", lol!  I added some diamond glaze to her drink (lemonade or maybe a cocktail ya think?) and glasse and stickles to her hat and chair!  The background navy cs got embossed with the CB folder "swiss dots".

I made 4 cards (4.25.5.5")--2 of each design including this one and the one below.  I just used more June Bug papers and some more stamps from the PTI set.  These are great for any occasion and make a great gift set!

That's all for me today--hope to see ya back tomorrow!

    I will miss you at Mo's and Pink Cat Studio but I totally understand, was amazed at all you do now. I am so enjoying your classes.

  6. Love the card. Your ghostie was probably glad to have the house all to him/herself and apparently isn't crazy about your vacuum.

  10. The card is so bright and cheery. And it is a parent's job to embarrass their children.

  11. Dear Suzanne

    I had to laugh so much about the image of the old lady. This is just too cute. Congratulations on your set! Great job!
    Ohhhhh, I went on youtube and found all your video tutorials on copics etc. Suzanne, you are a genius and my hero. These videos are terrific and soooo helpful. If I ever thought that I know how to use copics... When I look at your video's, I know that I am still a beginner. *lol*
    Thank you so much for the time you took to make all the tutorials.

    BIG hugs and have a wonderful and relaxing weekend!
