Wanna Hula with me?


Happy Friday friends…yay its Friday right?  Another fun summer weekend perhaps?  I am busy prepping for CHA (Craft & Hobby Association) and I leave bright & early Monday morning so lots to do before then.  I think hubby & son are headed to Delaware for the day tomorrow to go to an RC Plane show…that’s their big hobby that they share.  James builds the planes and Riley flies them, some are as big as a darn car!  All I gots to say is…hubby NEVER EVER says anything about my craft supplies cuz’ all I gotta do is point out to the garage and he SHUTS right up LOL!  He has a lot more $$ invested than meeee in his hobby stuff, hee hee!  My key to a VERY happy marriage…separate bank accounts….yes sirreeeee!  It’s the key to MY happy marriage anyway, no comments about new shoes, makeup, etc and no one checking in with me to see what I’ve spent.  Now we do have a joint house account but for our “own” stuffs we have our own accounts and we find that it works very nicely!  And if I THINK he should pay for something that I NEED, hee hee, well then I just use his account although he has NO access to mine…but he makes 100x more than me so that’s fair eh? LMBO Winking smile

So I saw my Luke Bryan last week…OMG it was so hot (yes he was HOT too)…104 degrees for the outside concert…I was so hot that I literally passed out/blacked out a few times but I persevered for Luke but boy was I ill.  He’s so good in concert, we had an awesome time even though I had to go back to my mom’s house to take a COLD shower…and not because he was hot (LOL) but because I was a sticky, sweaty, icky mess…ewwww!  A few pics for ya below to heat your day up!  And NO worries…I’ll see him again next month..oh yeahhhh!  I’m either a really great groupie or perhaps verging on stalker?  Naw I’ll go with a huge fan Winking smile  I mean there are very few peeps I would stand outside in 104 deg heat and be physically ill but still SHAKE IT hahahahahaha!

For those going to CHA….come seeeee meeeee! LOL!  I will be at my friend Angie Hunt’s “Little Darlings” booth helping out (she’ll be in the new exhibitor area) and I’ll be with Jeanne Streiff at the Impression Obsession booth coloring with the Touch Twin markers.  And I’ll of course be rambling around the floor…you’ll know me cuz I’ll have on heels (yes, yes I wear them always), will have a Coke in one hand and probably tripping and making noise LOL!  But I’d love to meet you!  And there are always large groups of us going to dinner, so you could always tag along or see (or really HEAR) us at dinner time hee hee!

Hula Hula!!!


Today I’m sharing a fun, tropical card using a great Saturated Canary digi image called “Ani”…isn’t she a doll? (want some digis…go to Krista’s blog HERE to get a code to save 30% off of your order thru 7/19).  I just love her and since one of my fave places on this earth is Maui, well I’m sayin’ she’s a Maui Luau gal doing the hula for y’all LOL! 

This is also my FIRST challenge card for the Shinhan Touch Twin team which I am happy & proud to say I am now a member of!  The challenge this time is to use the Colorless Blender and a Beachy Theme!!  See the challenge details HERE and join in on the fun with us!

I'm also entering this into the following challenges:



So I used some fabby papers from Trimcraft “Boho Chic” (a huge 6x6 paper pad filled with glittery and fab patterns) for a tropical feel.  I used some strips of pp to create a different background.  The fun, frayed grass skirt-like embellie was done with my MS fringe scissors and then I inked the edges for depth.  I used a Marianne Designs vine die to loop in thru the fringe and also inked the edges and added Stickles for sparkle.  The sentiment is from a PTI set!


She got colored with Touch Twin markers…yes they are alcohol markers and work just like Copics and work with them!  If you have Copics already do not despair, I’m not tellin you to switch nor am I.  But I am using these in conjunction with my Copics and teaching how to use them as an alternative…they are fabulous and they offer some color combos that Copic doesn’t.  I have a Touch Twin group at CMC HERE if you want to stop by to see some info, some resources I have including a color comparison chart and soon-to-come videos.  For my Colorless Blender technique I chose to use it as a paintbrush—something I love, love doing.  So for the very palest colors I used my Colorless and touch-tipped to the markers and created a pale color to use on my image.  I added Stickles to her grass skirt, her flower in hair and the lei, some diamond glaze on her eyes for shine.




That’s it for me…I’ll see you here on Monday with a fun Magnolia-licious Blog Hop!!  Have a fun weekend & stay cool!

  5. We all know that many girl dreams of wearing the right bridal gown for her wedding. However, every girl also desires of wearing by far the most gorgeous clothing at a promenade night. Promenade night is really an event that all young girl will enjoy during her own high- School or maybe college times. She would naturally want to be dressed in the very best prom wear located at such an very important evening. Individuals often have a new misconception on the subject of prom nights that it is exactly about dance together with date. However, it is even more than that and every girlfriend would like their prom slip on to get discovered and remembered for a long time!
    , First off I would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing. I've had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Cheers!

  6. I had never seen Luke Bryan before but he showed up on Good Morning America this morning and I must admit, he's pretty tasty. I'm not sure he's sunstroke tasty, though.

  11. Gorgeous card, Suzanne! Your coloring is amazing and love seeing how you are using the Shinhan Touch Twin markers!!

    I always enjoy reading about what's happening in your life. I'm not sure if there's anything or anyone I would brave triple digit heat to see especially if it's making me sick! My brother-in-law is a big into RC planes too. And you are right about how expensive they are! Not too long ago he witnessed a $5,000 RC plane crash. Ouch!!

The list includes singers, actresses and unbroken a few fashion designers. Please leave comments just about your favorite evening star with splendid eyes and we intent turn into a register of men with beautiful eyes too!
