XOXO- HUGS AND KISSES

No need for actual words on this one. The hearts and xoxo speak for themselves.

Check out the glitter hearts- punched from SU's yummy glitter paper.

Have a super creative day. Find some yummy supplies and jump in!

BAJA BREEZE- THE NEW BLUE

When Stampin' Up! brought out the new colour line last July, I struggled with it. I had to give up Brocade Blue which to me, was one of the BEST blues I'd ever worked with. Marina Mist was my first choice in the new colours and I used it, a lot. BUT, once I stumbled across Baja Breeze, the tale was told. I am in 'colour love" with Baja Breeze.  :)

What colour has caught you lately?

BLACK MAGIC SIMPLE

Pencil crayons and a white gel pen lend a certain glow to this image. Add a sentiment and a bit of bling for a finished card that's suitable for almost anyone.

Now, that the workroom is sorted out-it took three days to fill that workbox-I hope to get back to regular creating and blogging.

Hope you get to some creating too.

Thanks for stopping by!

PINCH ME!

Two days ago, this truck backed up to our back door. See those boxes? They're coming in!

Those same boxes, now empty.

To make.......

THIS!

Two wonderful friends came by to help put in all the clips, shelves and totes.

(help nothing- they did most of it)

Now, I just need to fill it up!

This is it, all closed up. I still can't believe this is sitting in my workroom. From the first time I saw these in a magazine, many years ago, I have wanted one. And you know, it's everything I'd hoped it would be. Very sturdy and very well designed.

The plan for this workbox has always been with an eye toward retirement and eventually down-sizing our home. This will be my portable art room  :)

Now, back to organizing and filling this baby up.

Have an awesome day!

LAST POST FOR 2010

This is it! A new year right around the corner, so this makes this the last post for this year.

I have really enjoyed blogging- I plan to continue. Hope you've had a bit of fun here too.

I can see now that I need to straighten the ribbons and maybe place the pinned circle a little higher. Only noticed in the photo- funny huh?

I have a folder on my desktop that I store my blog photos in. Once used, I move the photo to another folder so that I won't repeat it, because it could happen! Did I post that one yet, hmmm????? I would spend half my time asking myself that and then have to go looking- blah!

Why am I telling you this? I have too much in the folder and I'm thinking I'll share a bunch- now.

Some vellum and a white gel pen- soft results.

I remember spraying lots of water and using re-inkers but not much else :)

The flowers were stamped, the circles were punched and attached then grid lines were drawn. They're hard to see but there a lots of little dots drawn in too.

Just a bit of stamping and punching.

The rust card stock was sprayed lightly with bleach, dried well, then stamped with rust ink.

The challenge was t make a baby card and I am surprised to say that I really don't have any baby stamps. No, really! I saw a buggy done here  and blatantly copied it-- I mean, CASED it.

Copy and share everything.

Cute huh? I love her blog!

Okay, this is the last one today. I need to keep a few in reserve so I can share again tomorrow.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I ALMOST FORGOT!

In the hustle and bustle of the season, I almost forgot to share some cool news with you.
One of my cards was mentioned on this blog-
GO HERE
and you can see! I am so excited by this- you have no idea!
Be sure to look around at the other blogs mentioned- great stuff everwhere.
Okay, I'm done. Thanks for sharing not just my creative journey but my blogging journey as well.

SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT

So, after many days with no new posts for you, I have something a little different to share.
THIS is my gallery on Splitcoaststampers. There is definitely 'older' stuff here but you might like it.
Remember where you are though (SCS) and you can spend lots of time on the site- so take some tea with you!

HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS- I hope you get tons of goodies but more than that, I hope you have time with loved ones and contentment throughout the holidays.
