Mum’s the Word!!

Hello and a Happy Thursday to you all!  Wow the week is almost over and then it’s a holiday weekend for those of us here in the US—Labor Day weekend.  That means a 3 day weekend YAY!  I am headed to my parent’s house on Saturday for a picnic and then on Sunday me, Alexa and my mom are going to see BLAKE SHELTON—whooohooooooooo!  I lovvvvvveeeeeeeee HIM Winking smile--he rocks and he’s hot, but I just like his singing (hee hee).  My top picks for country hotness reside with Tim McGraw (sigh he gets better with age) and Luke Bryan—umm yeah have you see this man---whoooo hoooo I’m sweating already LOL! (see video below so you can sweat too)!  He's singing my summer theme song "Country Girl Shake it For Me!!" --OMGoodness you MUST watch him!!  Nothing better than a guy in jeans, boots and a cowboy hat that’s for sure---well at least in Suzanne’s book that is!!

Video:


Ok now that you’ve properly sweated let’s talk about my BookEndz Book Club!  Tonight we wrap up with a fun PARTY at 8:15 pm EST—we will chat about our first book, have some fun contests with prizes and announce the next book.  It will be FUN, FUN, FUN and everyone is welcome whether you just like to read or read and craft!!  Hope to see you there!

Mum’s The Word!!

Since it’s the first of the month that means another fun Magnolia-licious DT Challenge! And our fabulous hostess this month is none of than the talented Sharon Caudle—she’s challenged us to create either Fall or Back to School projects BUT use the rich colors of fall!  You can see all the challenge details on how to join in and the DT’s wonderful fall projects at the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog.

I’m not a huge fan of fall, but only because it means winter is on its way (boohoo), but I do love the beautiful colors of the leaves, trees and fall harvests!!  I used this older image from Magnolia-licious called “Tilda with Fall Bouquet” from the Halloween/Autumn 2008 Collection.  Diana does not have this in stock but I’m sure if enough of you would love to have it she can order it for you—just shoot her an email.  The sentiment is from the same collection and it is only available in mini-size HERE right now. Diana has the best deals and customer service in the business so I encourage you to email her about these stamps if you LOVE ‘em  Winking smile

I’m entering this fall creation into the following challenges:

Die-Cuttin’ Divas (fall colors + die cut)
Oldie But a Goodie Challenge (old stamp & bling)
Paper Sundaes (Magnolia)

These beautiful papers are new by BoBunny called “Forever Fall and I love, love the colors they’ve included. I love bold colors and the pop of turquoise just popped out to me and I used it a lot to contrast with the warm golds and rusts.  The mats were done with SBs Labels 16 and then I embossed the teal layer, and added Gold Stickles to the orange mat for sparkle.  I wrapped the paper with ribbon from PTI and some bronze Magic Mesh underneath finishes it off.

And yes she is colored with Copics BG49,BG45,BG11,BG10 / E09,E08,E13 / E11,E00,R20 / E29,E25,YR20 / YR23,Y21 / YR18,YR15,YG03.  I added Flower Soft (in orange & yellow colors I custom mixed) to the mums for more fun and pretty texture.  Stickles went on her hat and socks for more bling!

That’s it for me today!  Make sure to stop by the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog for more on this fun challenge!  Hugz to you all!

  2. Absolutely gorgeous Suzanne. I love the way you used the dp for the nuts, giving them texture and depth. The flower soft makes Tilda's bouquet look so real! Fabulous job...hugs...Barb

  3. I love that song 'country girl shake it for me.' I haven't seen him but I'm sure he's super hot. I'll be checking out your post next week because Blake Shelton will be at the 'BIG E' state fair in October. I was thinking of getting tickets, but hadn't heard any feedback on his shows. I'm sure he's great, but maybe you'll convince me to splurge on the tickets. Enjoy!
