I'VE GOT MY EYE ON YOU!!!

Hey all!! How are you?? It's Saturday,yay!!! ONE more day until CLUB ANYA is here!!! How AWESOME!! You have to check it out & join!!! I have a link, on my sidebar!! Those ANYA's are WAY cute!!! Let's not forget IAN too!! Hehe!! In case you are not familiar.....they are from The Greeting Farm!!! Still not ringing that bell for you???? Go visit Club Anya's blog, tomorrow!! There will be LOTS of GREAT stuff going on! So.....let hubby watch the Super Bowl.....you can visit Club Anya and play along with their games!! There are PRIZES too!! You will NOT be dissapointed, I PROMISE!!!
Ok....So, onto my card. I am really not to sure about it. I used my "Cuter Than Most" set, from Unity!! I think this set is SO cute. I used Misc. patterned paper, that I got from All That Scraps. Now, at one time I knew the name, but, alas thay are scraps and I do not. Sorry! This paper just reminded me of space, to go with the cute little alien!! I layered it onto my SU CS and added some embelishments. I used my Prisma Markes to color it and here you are. I just don't know if I LIKE it??? I think I do. It's just not grabbing me, ya know?? What do you think??
I will be back later with Kyah's card. She wants to FINISH it today! Haha! She is SO stinkin' cute!! I am SO blessed!! Ok, talk to you later!!! Have an AWESOME day!!
*****ENJOY LIFE!!!

TAGGED!!!! AND A SHOE THING!!!

Hey there ladies!!! How are you?? Really!! So....WHASSUP?? I had to put that in there for my friend, Kriss! Anything....exciting????? C'mon.....Really???? Talk to me!! Hehehe!!
No...really, I have been tagged........TWICE!! GEEZ!! As my New friend,Jessica, mentioned......it must have to do with people being snowed in! Haha! Oh well. This one is a little different anyway, kinda FUN. It gives everyone a chance to learn something NEW about you. Thanks to my friends CHERI & JESSICA!!!
Ok...so..here's the deal:
1. Go to where you keep your pictures, select the 6th folder, and the 6th picture in that folder.
2. Then post it on your blog with an explanation of the story behind the picture.
3. Tag 6 other people to do the same, and make sure you let them know about it.



**This pic was taken a while ago. We had just gotten a second fold up, kids couch. We had one, that was Kyah's, and needed another one. Kyah never really bothered with hers, which was the Winnie The Pooh one. Oh, she sat on it once and awhile, but, nothing like the twins!! We got that second one and it was just hilarious!! The way they would just HANG on their couches was WAY too cute!! Every time you would take them their morning bottle, they would run over to their couches and wait for you to hand it to them. Like clockwork!! Too FUNNY!!! Hope you liked my pic!!! Now it's your turn...........

Carri

Amy

Sarah

Mandy

Janna

******You can find these LOVELY, TALENTED ladies on my sidebar. Go visit!!!

Ok.....on to my card. I NEEDED to make a Bella card, I just haven't for TOO long. So I got out my DCWV paper pad & SU CS, of course, and off I went. I used the NEW Shoe Bag stamp, from Stamping Bella, that I got from Carri. Carri was my last Bella Sistah! Thanks Carri; I finally inked it up!! I inked it up and colored it in with my Prisma Markers. Hope you like it!!! I was going to share one of Kyahs' creations, but, she INSISTED that it wasn't READY yet!! Too funny....who knew??? Have a FANTASTIC evening!! I am off to get some things done! I have to work tomorrow and next week is my first OFFICIAL week, back to FT work!!!

LAST ONE, I PROMISE!!!!!

OK, I know you are thinking........not again!!!! Doesn't she have ANYTHING else?? Now....hear me out! I had made 2 and I just so happen to work with 3 AWESOME ladies!!! I had NO choice!! I had to make ONE more!! So........here it is!! This is my FIRST card, however, using the copic technique I watched on someone's blog. Now, I only have 3 copics, but, I tried it using my 3 copics.....plus my Prisma markers. I layered the color, using my Skin Tone Copic, on her hair. What do you think?? So.....which card is your FAVE?? Come on, let me know what you think!! Alright, off to bed!! Hope I can sleep!!! I was so excited to finish this card, that I think I stayed up a tad late!!! Hehe!! I have to work tomorrow!! Oh well, what CAN I say??!!! Thanks for stopping by ladies!! I really appreciate it and LOVE sharing with you!!! Next time I will have my and Kyahs' creations from our SNOW DAY today!! Until next time......ENJOY LIFE!!!
**I should have gotten 2 of those Basic Grey,Bittersweet pads!!!! I LOVE all the patterns!!
**Check out the other things I used,below, in the labels!!

PRETTY HEAD LILLY........AGAIN!!

***Quick edit: I changed the pic size in the previous post!! No wonder they weren't that great!! If you have time, take a look again!!! Thanks!!!***


Hi all, how are you today? Today we are having a SNOW DAY!!! How about you?? Kyah is SO excited; she wants to make cards!! So, we will have fun stuff to post later!!!
OK, so my DH loves this Pretty Head Lilly image, from The Greeting Farm!! I am slightly drawn to it as well (haha), especially in varying sizes!! You just have to LOVE it, ya know? That being said, here is another card using this LOVELY image! You can find TGF on my side bar; Lilly is a Digi image, in case you forgot! Hehe! I layered my K&Company BG paper on my SU CS. I LOVE that Basic Grey CS from SU, such a great shade of grey!! I also used my Nesties. Speaking of which, I really would have LOVED a bigger size of ovals for this, mine weren't big enough for the larger image to fit!! I was a tad bummed. You know how you have something in your head?! Oh well, I will have to look for that bigger size, I just think it would have looked nicer with an oval; instead of a circle. I finished this creation off with a sentiment from Verve! If you can't use a UNITY one, you have to use VERVE! They BOTH have the neatest sayings!! Oh, I was also was thinking of using my NEW Labels Nesties, however, that didn't have a big enough one either!! Ackk! Hate it when that happens!! Hehe!! You know, I have also noticed that the Labels One set has too much space in between sizes! Frustrating!! Does anyone know of or have any suggestions??
Well, I have another card to share with you. The second one is just a simple one, but, I really like how it turned out. What do you think? I used my NEW Rhonna Farrer rub-ons, that my friend DEBBY sent me. Thank you SO much DEBBY!! I finally used them!! I had been wanting to and just had a creative block! .....Block lifted! Hehe! I also used the same K&Company BG paper & SU CS, except red this time. Alright, I have gabbed enough!! Oh, sorry, one last thing. Can you all suggest a good light? You know, those natural lights that people use?? I want better lighting for coloring and taking pics. Been a little irritated with the whole pic thing latley!! I have been taking SO many, just to get ONE good one!! I am sure some of you can relate!! I thought of saying, ALL, but I have seen your pics and know they look professional!!! There is a new store opening here and they have a Verilux light on sale for $40. I guess it is origianlly $80. It says it has a natural spectrum indoor light?? What do you think? I know I keep asking you that, but, hey...I LOVE your thoughts and opinions!! Ok......I am done!! Hehe!! Thank you so much for stopping by and listening to me ramble!! What can I say, I like talking with you!!! I will be back later!!! Have Fun and......ENJOY LIFE!!!!

A TRIP DOWN MUSHROOM LANE!!

Hey there ladies!! How are you this fine evening?? I just got back from the grocery store. YAY! What fun, huh? I have a couple of questions for you tonight and a NEW stamp I have finally inked up! So...first the questions. I have been SO busy sharing, lately, that I am almost out of envies!!! YIKES!! I NEED to find the regular white A2 size, the clear ones, and I think I would like to try some square ones. That being said....do any of you have a GREAT place to get these? I know, I know....I AM a SU demonstrator!!! However, with $6.95 shipping?? I really would like to see what else is out there! Ya know what I mean?? This Chick is a LITTLE thrifty! Let's face it....I have to be....and who doesn't now a days??!! Right?? Ok....next question. Someone had told me, but, I can't remember who it was. I would LOVE to find the Cuttlebug,Snowflake embossing folder. Now, not the one with the circles around them though. Do you know which one I mean? I can't even think what it's called! Oh well, anyhoo....I have looked several places and they are out of stock, of course!! Not that I NEED to buy another thing!! Hehe! Then again ......well....you know! I am sure you are right there with me! Hehe! If you have any ideas for me, that would be great. I just wonder though, how bad do you think shipping would be on that ONE folder?? I really SHOULDN'T buy anything else to go with it. Although, there is something to be said about snowflakes AND snowmen! Haha! I would LOVE any and ALL suggestions!! I just wish I could find these things at ACmoore or Mike's!! NO SHIPPING!!!
Alright, before I bore you ABSOLUTELY to death.....here is my creation to share! I got this Mushroom Lane stamp from CHF, before Christmas. I am just now inking it up!! Imagine that!! I wasn't even sure I had a block big enough! I used my Mello BG paper ,by Basic Grey ,and my SU CS. I also used my Prisma markers and a Unity sentiment. Gotta LOVE the Unity sentiments!! I hope you like it!!
Oh yeah....before you go. I broke down and checked out Paper Planet! Holy Stampers!! Lots of people having fun over there!! While I was there, I joined a few groups! YAY!! I LOVE to share and make new friends!! One of the groups is "Madelyn's Twinkling Tuesdays". I am sure I butchered the name, but, they are such GREAT, TALENTED ladies and welcomed me to their group!!! I am SO excited! I am going to try and participate in this weeks' challenge!! If I can swing it, I will be back yet tonight with my card! Hope you'll stop back! ENJOY LIFE & enjoy your trip down Mushroom Lane!!!
