Live, Love & Laugh!!

Hello and Happy Monday to you all! Blahhhh it's Monday again which means another lonnnnnnng week of work for us all, lol!  I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of Mondays--my least favorite day of the week I tell ya!  But I am looking forward to our 3 day weekend coming up for Labor Day (for those of us here in the US)--yay--even if some of it we will be doing work around the house!  I got some of the kids school shopping out of the ways, but I have to do it in spurts for my own sanity, lol!  After we went school shopping we went to our gym so I could sweat out some of my frustration, hee hee--nothing better than sweating off some calories I tell ya!  I'll be going to work out again tonight after I get some of my work done--I have 2 appointments today as well as carting the kids to activities so we'll see how much work I REALLY get done KWIM!  I have to finish editing 7 videos--yikes--I dislike editing videos almost as much as Mondays, lol!  There is nothing worse than listening to yourself over & over and then having to cut seconds off of each video to fit in the DUMB 10 minute time frame that YouTube has!  But I hope to have most of them done and up by tomorrow or Wed. for you all---and the majority are all on hair coloring, different color combos and different images for you all.  It seems that is the #1 question and frustration I hear from everyone so I did a bunch more for ya!

*****************************************
Live, Laugh & Love!!


I just love these Popcorn Bears--they have totally stolen my heart and are soooooooo much fun to color!  This lil cutie is from Paper Romance--they have quite a selection to choose from HERE!  This card is for the Paper Romance Challenge this week which is to use a cute critter on your project--find the challenge details HERE!  I also love the "Live, Love & Laugh" saying--it's how I try to live each day and with positivity KWIM?  You never know how long you've got on this planet so you need to make each day count--every morning I put my feet on the floor and am able to get thru the day I count my blessings!  So this card just reflects some of that joy and I had such a fun time making this--it just makes me SMILE!


This little Popcorn Bear set is called "Thanks a Bunch" & I colored the flowers the same way they appear on the package cuz' I had picked out these beeeutiful papers from Kaisercraft (Devonshire) already --so I had to match the orange tones.  Such a pretty combo of pale blue, orange and green me thinks!  The small sparkly square tiles are from my pal Marti's store called Pez-a-Bling---she's got them all on sale now so get yours while they last.  They come in so many fun glittery colors!   I also inked around my image with my Inkssentials Foam Blender tool--a must have tool I use on all my images--it really gives a soft look to your images and finishes it off nicely.


Of course I colored my image with Copics (fur: E44,E43,E42,E40/flowers: YR18,YR12,YR00,YR0000/YG67,YG03,G20)--see my fur coloring tutorial HERE on how I color these bears (also linked above on my Tutorials/Templates page)!  I added some stickles to the petals and then an awesomely cool PRODUCT from Art Institute (read below)!


Okay, so inside each flower I've added this stuff called Element Earth Textures from Art Glitter!  Think flower soft but with all natural earthly elements (like corn, wheat, cloves, grass, etc)--they ROCK!  And guess what?  They smell awesome too so your cards have a really nice scent to them.  You put your tacky glue (I used Aleenes & it worked fine) or the special glue they sell on your project, sprinkle & pat them on top and let dry.  They come in amazing colors and scents--the one I used above is called "CARROT" and it smells DIVINE!  So you're using something totally green, natural and great for the environment--very cool I think!

***********************
And guess what?  I've got a secret blog candy for those who have read closely, hee hee!

Let me know "what your favorite scent in the whole world is?" 

and you could win 2 of these Element Earth Textures (carrot and maize) AND an Inkssentials Blending tool AND this Popcorn Bear set by entering your comment on this post by Friday!!

Hope you enjoyed the post today & I'll see you back here tomorrow (hopefully I'll have videos to share with you tomorrow)!

  6. Hi Suzanne. WOW, I just love this card. It has such a warm fall look to it. I ran into a small stamp set of this bear, and I didn't pick it up at the time and of course I wish I had. I love it when things have good smells to them. I am totally a smell kind of person. My kid's tell me that I have a nose of a blood hound. ( It's true, and can be good for me and bad for them at times. heehee) anyway, I would have to say that my all time favorite smell would be vanilla...Mmmmmm just such a warm fuzzy kind of smell I would have to say. WOW, now you have made me in the mood for a crisp sunny fall day. lol Have a super Monday. (I hate them too) Hugs, Lisa G

  9. Your colouring totally makes me want to go into my back yard and bury the Copics - utter perfection. Love the crisp design with that striking orange ribbon too.
    As to my favorite smell - well, it's a close call between freshly brewed coffee in morning and warm fuzzy scent of vanilla. I sometimes make my poppy seed and vanilla muffins just to sniff them, lol

  11. Hey Suzanne, your card is fantastic...love the colors!!!

    My favorite scent in the world is a just bathed baby. They smell so good after a bath, giggling when you're drying them off and putting baby lotion on them. Can you tell I just got back from visiting my grandchild??? There's nothing like that smell..... Gardenias are my next favorite.

  18. Beautiful card! Your coloring always amazes me and the extra touches are just perfect. I think my favorite scent in the whole wide world is a loaf of baking bread. It reminds me of times spent at Grandma's house growing up. There was nothing to ever worry about when you were there.

  29. I LOVE the Popcorn Bears. They are just so darn cute. My favorite scent/smell is a tie...1st is yellow roses and the 2nd is the fir trees in the pacific northwest. The air in the mountains is so crisp and clean and there's nothing better than a fresh evergreen for your Christmas tree.

    ReplyDelete
  30. It is hard to pinpoint one favorite scent, because there are so many, Christmas scents, cotton candy etc. But I would have to say I love, love the coconut,pineapple beachy scent and I wear it all summer - really makes me feel like I am on a tropical island.
    Have a wonderful week - just love following you each day. Thanks for sharing all your fabulous work.

  32. I love your card. Popcorn bear is just so darn cute.
    My favorite scent is cinnamon. I used to like lilacs too, but I have become allergic to them. It's too bad because they have a wonderful smell, but just their scent makes me sick. Fortunately no problem with cinnamon and it makes the house smell like fresh bakes goods.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Cute card! My favorite scent in the whole world is Lilly's of the Valley, they remind me so much of my grandmothes backyard when I was growing up!

  34. Wowzers, Suzanne, this card is awesome! Love Popcorn and those papers are perfect with it. Thanks for the heads up on this awesome-sounding new product. I've got to try it. My favorite scent is whatever combo it is that comes out during the Christmas holidays that smells mainly of cinnamon (red hots) and all those good things that make up that wonderful holiday smell. You know, the candles have it, potpourri, soaps - LOVE it! Thanks for sharing this adorable card and product tip.

    ReplyDelete
  35. FAbulous card Suzanne, and I just love those flowers- they are beautiful.
    My favorite scent- I have to go with vanilla, you know the scent of fresh baked sugar cookies (my mom's of course!). It is such heaven! This product looks wonderful.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I will have to say in the words of my 7 year old son, "Mom, you smell good", I say "What do I smell like?", and his reply is "you smell like mom,...good". So I guess the best smell in the world is "Mom".

    ReplyDelete
  37. I love the colors/coloring of your flowers Suzanne, beautiful.

    I associate many scents with seasons, and although there are many I love, I'm going to narrow it down to my favorite season, Spring. My favorite scent is the smell of honeysuckle~omg I love how it perfumes the air in spring; it smells so delicious.

  39. I love the card. My favorite scent Mulberry.

  40. Your card is just georgeous, as usual!
    My favorite smell is that of pot roast cooking. It reminds me of holidays at my grandmother's house and growing up with so much family around. Those were the times before we all grew up and moved to different states across the country.
    Now, I only make pot roast for holidays. My kids want me to keep it "special" -- something they can look forward to on special family days!

  47. Great card today! The colors you used with the popcorn bear are just right for this image. My favorite scent in the "whole world" seems to change with the seasons and mood, at the moment my favorite is the scent of a new candle I just got of pineapple mango. It is a wonderful strong scent.

  49. A Beautiful card - I love the new earth textures you used - very unique. My favourite smell is - please dont laugh - raw tobacco, the reason being is it reminds me of my grandad who used to smoke a pipe and all the very happy memories spent with him when I was a youngster. Even when I smell it now, i'm filled with happiness at just remembering. Oh PS I don't smoke and don't like the smell of burning tobacco! Sarah x

  107. Another great card!

    I guess my favorite smell would be my husband, after he returns home from being called out of town to work double time due to cable or line issues (he's a phone man). That means I have extra $$ to spend on new stamps and products!

  117. A great card Suzanne! My favorite scent in the whole world is the smell of babies just after they have had a bath and had Johnson's baby Lotion put on. Both of my kids had this smell! Cuddling with them after a bath and smelling that smell will always hold such great memories for me!

  123. Are you kidding? I not only read your blog, but read it as an email note from a friend before clicking your blog title! I am always amazed at how much "stuff" you cram into your day! I don't know how you do it, but I sure enjoy your sample cards. This "popcorn" bear is adorable, and I love your background color scheme. You are simply a marvel! Thanks for all the time you pour into helping the rest of us learn to color!
    My favorite scent has to be the sweet smell of a bathed newborn cuddled into my neck as I rock her to sleep! Hugs, Debi

  131. I love all your work!! It's beautiful.
    I think my favorite scent is Bobbi Brown's Bath perfume. I know this sounds weird, but I have sensitive skin and can only use unscented soaps. By using the Bath perfume I get that "clean shower" smell that I love!! I find myself sniffing the bottle whenever I pass it on my dresser, LOL!

  142. What a wonderful card, but then I am always thrilled to see new ones from you. The colors you chose are just perfect! Can I come shop in your area? I never find these wonderful things. I have a few Popcorn Bear stamps but they are small ones that came with British card making magazines. Must use them one of these days. Thank you so much for sharing this cute little guy. As for favorite scents for me, I have a few - lavender, vanilla and lemon. Of course, gingerbread isn't bad either!

  145. Your cards are always so beautiful. It is a blessing that you are able to do what you obviously love and that I can share and learn from it is a blessing for me! Favorite smell is easy: our little grand daughter, just out of the bath, snuggling with Grammy (me, of course) as we rock and talk before she goes to bed. Nothing better than that!

  159. Hi Suzanne,
    Will love to see your backyard remodel pictures! I just love landscaping - about as much as I love being able to landscape a greeting card!!!
    My favorite scent - so inspiring - is the smell of the sun-warmed conifer forest floor ... you crunch on the pine needles and smell the aroma of warm nature.
    Please enter me for your blog candy - I'm starting to really love those Popcorn Bear stamps!
