Shake Your Bacon!!

Hello friends & Happy Monday to you all! Hope ya had a fabulous weekend! Ours was fine--not super exciting but not boring, hee hee! We spent Saturday having a "Dean Family Jammie" day & I read basically most of the day! Finished my Dan Brown book (quite a page turner but not as good as Demon's & Angels in my opinion but good anyhow), started a new book by Kate Morton and read a stack of magazines. I also made 2 batches of soups to freeze in my new Pressure Cooker which I can't believe I never had before---love it (thanks hubby)! Sunday, hubby took the kids to the Frederick, MD fair for the day while I caught up on mounds of projects for some new releases coming up (shhh...lots of stuff comin' here to ScrapBitz, hee hee)! And today, blissfully nothing going on either 'cept a quick trip to the grocery store and post office! Oh yeah & some projects to finish & work on of course!

NewsBitz:

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

I have so many projects to share with you this week, but I thought I'd start the week off with something outrageously fun for ya & put a smile on your face!! If you're a regular reader of mine you know how much I ADORE the "Humorous Senior" stamps from I Brake For Stamps (see previous project HERE)--they just crack me up totally! Della released some new ones last week & this gal on her lil' moped "Moped Millie" just caught my eye right away--her zebra pants, drooping cleavage & dog howling makes me giggle every time. (remember to use the Coupon Code "Save10Suzanne" to get 10% off your order if you decide you need some stamps, hee hee)

I colored her with Copics to match the fun Basic Grey "Lime Rickey" paper--wild & crazy just like this gal!! I added some fun buttons & dotted bows to decorate the card and that fun sentiment is from Hanna's Stamps & you can find it HERE!

Close-up of "Moped Mille"--I used diamond glaze on her seat, tires & helmet. I used a silver Spica pen on parts of the moped & stickles on her shirt & headlight! Isn't she fun? It's just gotta give ya a giggle today!!

Hope you have a fabulous Monday & I'll see ya back here tomorrow!

hugz,
Suzanne

Quickies :)

Good afternoon crafters! This post will not be overly long or overly creative. I've been on a field trip today with 100 4th graders to Harpers Ferry, WV and my head is killing me. Sitting on a bus with very loud 10 yr olds and having a sinus infection--NOT GOOD!! What I really need is a long, QUIET bath with wine & chocolate (yeah--like thats going to happen--haha)! At least the weather is nice (75 deg & sunny)!

I actually made this Bella card yesterday, knowing that my creative "mojo" juices would not be in the best of shape today. This is "Huggybellas" from Stamping Bella and the paper is all from Paper Trey Inks March release (Berry sorbet & Sweet blush)--the colors are so soft & pretty. I wanted to do a monochromatic card to change it up a bit. The one bella's shirt is paper pieced with PTI Pinks pp. Of course there is bling (stickles) involved on the shoes, hairbands and dress--gotta have some sparkle ya know. The dots in the corners are Liquid Pearls in pink and the sentiment is from 2 Hanna's stamps combined (this set is great--lots of mix & matches, lotsa combos). I used the Nestabilities also--gotta love those! I need the oval set of nesties, I have the circles & squares--another want on the "need" list :)

The second pic is just an assortment of monogram cards I make and sell in sets of 6 or 12 (obviously with a monogram on them). They come in a decorative box with labels & envies. Thought you might like to see them--the papers are from (l to r) Paper Trey Ink, Serendipity & BoBunny. I got some new stamps in the mail today (more Magnolias--yeh!!) so I'll be playing with them soon. I'll be posting my submission for The Cat's Pajamas contest this week to share with you all too. Next Friday we're off to Disney, so there will be no posting for 10 days (aghast)--I'll have alot to catching up to do, but am definitely looking forward to the time off!! Alrighty, I'm outta here--
Enjoy the day,

Suzanne
