My Favorite Gal!!

Hi Friends & Happy Monday to ya! Just a short post for you today cuz' I am busy, busy today. My room is soooo close to being picture perfect ready for ya, but a few more things to do first and then I'll share pics. Needless to say, hubby & I are exhausted from moving furniture, painting & carrying stuff up & down stairs. My old craft room will soon be hubby's study on the main level (it was downstairs in our basement (finished area))--his study will be Riley's new "playroom/hangout area" and I took over the old playroom upstairs on the second floor--whewww! Next weekend we'll move all his huge, heavy study pieces upstairs & organize but we're tuckered out---plus we need help moving that stuff, too heavy for me! But I must say I have too much stuff, hee hee--but it's all organized & put neatly away & I LOVE my new room! So clean & fresh---tiffany blue & black/white toile/zebra print! LOVE IT!! LOL! Most importantly it doesn't feel like my stuff is going to fall on my head & overtake me anymore, hee hee! Ack---my old room was a MESS I tell ya! Hope to have pics for you on Wednesday!!

NewsBitz:

**********************************************

Today's card was made for this past week's Friday Sketcher's challenge #65--great sketch! I used the fabulously cute "Emma" from Elisabeth Bell for SCACD line! The dp is by Basic Grey's "Eva" and the flowers are a mix of Petaloo & Prima roses! She's got a little bling on her sandals & headband with diamond stickles too! And those lovely pearls are actually Bella Baubles in Oyster found HERE! I "FOUND" some (ok, alot) of unused stamps that I had (gasp) and one of them was a fabulous sentiment set from Hanna's Stamps--such cute handwritten sayings!

Just a lil' closes-up of this cutie--love the lil' kitty :o) The Copics used to color Emma are all available at Susana's Store HERE and they are in the NEW SJD Copic Bundles that I've put together (New Blonde, The Pinks, & The Greys")!!

That's all for me today--I'll see ya back here tomorrow!

Pink Lemonade!!

Hi friends & welcome to Tuesday, hee hee!! Hope your week has started off swell--I'm having fun with my relatives eating good (re: fattening, lol) homecooked meals like pie & biscuits, oh my! Today we're off antiquing and I'm hopeful to find some good stuff--I collect depression glass & any kind of pitchers so cross your fingers for me!! I also bought the new "Jackie & Bobby" book about the affair between Jackie (Kennedy)Onassis and Bobby Kennedy--wooheee is this a doozy of a book, very interesting. I've always had a weird fascination with that family (who knows why, hee hee) and this book is very telling & juicy!! LOL

NewsBitz: The brand NEW SMOOCH (metallic paints) are now IN at Susana's store right HERE--awesome new colors I must say! And if you buy them as a set you get the 8 for the price of 7!!

Today is Tuesday which of course means its also Try It Out Tuesday for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design. I challenged the DT to create a thankyou card using one of the new Elisabeth Bell for SCACD images! I've used sweet lil' "Emma" for my card and paired her with this yummy BoBunny dp--love the summery colors, they remind me of pink lemonade! The border was made using the NEW Lattice Borderability--lovee it! The sentiment is from PTI's "Vintage Picnic Sentiments" and those gorgeous crocheted flowers were a wonderful gift from my friend Wynneth over in the UK (she made them for me & aren't they beautiful). They were white & then I spritzed them with Shimmerz Spritz (terracotta & tuscan yellow)--lightly spritzed so they stayed soft in color. I think she's just precious!

Now make sure & hop over to the "Follow Your Heart" store blog to see the rest of the DT's fabulous creations today!!
