Diva-licious!!

Hello everyone! I'm pooped--so I'll keep it short today. I'm taking the day off from crafting & I'm gonna be lazy & watch the football games :) I need to recharge my MOJO--hee hee! We had a great time at the Halloween party & was fun catching up with our friends. Sometimes it feels like we're doing the daily grind so much we don't connect with our friends as much as we should. Ahhh, if we could always be on vacation-wouldn't that be great!!!


My card today uses the same SCS sketch #199 that I've pretty much used all week, lol--told ya I love it! I wanted to ink up this gorgeous Rubber Romance stamp "Melanie" that I got from Susana's Custom Art & Card Design and this sketch worked perfectly. These stamps always remind me of Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly for some reason--2 of my favorite actresses (love Sabrina,Breakfast at Tiffany's & Rear View Window--I lovee my old movies). I love me my Bellas but I love these too--larger w/ more drama I think!

I used the DCWV "All Dressed Up" stack which in my personal & very humble opinion is the best dp they've ever come out with--love these colors together. I gussied up her shopping bags with a flourish from Verve Stamps & some polka-dots for fun. Her dress & black shoes have stickles on them becuz' she's a DIVA! My corner brackets I make with my Fiskars Border Punch-- I just punch a long edge and then trim into right angle triangles. The sentiment is another cool one from Amy R's "Boutique Sentiments". I have to say this card is so me--the colors, the image and of course the shopping (wish I was that thin, hee hee) :)

Hope ya like it! I'll see ya back here tomorrow with another busy week in store. There are sneak peeks coming at you from Storage Units, Ink and More and Clear Dollar Stamps---and so many more projects!! Oh, almost forgot--some friends of mine started a new Yahoo group for all of us stamping/crafting addicts where there are NO RULES! Well some within reason ya know, but you can talk about all products, all companies, promote yourself & give tips and let everyone know about steals and deals you've found. It's all good & we'd love to have you--so check it out here. See ya there!

hugz,

Shoe Diva!!

Happy Saturday everyone! Sorry I didn't post yesterday but I had to take a "holiday" to get all my other "stuff" done (errands and chores, yum)! I had to catch up on laundry and cleaning and run around trying to find a Halloween costume for my daughter. AHHHHHHHh--they do not make costumes for "young" teen girls that are appropriate anywhere, frustrating. We finally found her a cute woodland fairy costume that was appropriate and we "both" agreed on for her 7th/8th grade Halloween dance last night. And of course I had to chaperone which my daughter just loves (NOT) and it gave me a migraine--too loud (I'm gettin' old I guess, lol) !! Hey, I'm an involved parent and like to know what's going on ya know--this age is very scary!! The picture below is of her dressed for the dance--I had to do her makeup and hair of course because she says she can't, lol!


Ok, onto my news of the day. First and foremost Susana of Susana's Custom Art and Card Design asked me to be her designer to help get her business off and running and I was happy to accept her offer. I like that she carries a smaller line of stamps and is an artist herself so its a great match. She has some fabby things in her shop that you should go check out. She carries Rubber Romance and Karen Lockhart stamps too along with her own line of stamps and some other fun goodies too. Please go visit her shop and show her some love!! I'll share my other "news" with ya tomorrow--I don't want to overwhelm you with too much news, lol!!




My two cards today use stamps from Susana's own line of stamps. I lovee shoes (I have alot, I won't share how many cuz' I might be embarrassed or you might be shocked,lol)! Shoes and purses and stamps are my obssessions you could say, lol!! This first card uses a Rubber Romance stamp (it's really a picture of me, ha ha) named "Vivian" and some of Susana's shoe stamps. I used the Color Challenge #188 from SCS this week to use pink/black/white--which was easy cuz' I lovee those colors together. The dp is from DCWV "All Dressed Up" stack. The image was colored w/ Copics and I also used black stickles on her dress and some of the shoes. I also used silver liquid pearls to paint the red shoe accents and the bow on her hat--I like the shine and dimension of these liquid pearls alot. I fancied up the inside too--I don't always show the inside of my cards but today I felt like switchin' it up for ya :) The sentiments on the front and inside are from Amy R's "boutique sentiments" over at All That Scraps--fabulous sentiments in this set, for the shopper in all of us!!
.
Second card uses just Susana's stamps--I love how you can dress up the shoes anyway you want (stamp 'em, color 'em, glitter 'em up)! I wanted the one pair to match my leopard print dp by DCWV(have I told you I{heart} animal prints) so I colored them to match. I think this "shoe-da" sentiment is too cute---there's lots of thing's I shoe'd do, but don't--ROFL!! I know just who to send this fabby card to :)

That's it for me today. Hope you liked my cards and you're off to having a great weekend. I'm working today on projects and then tomorrow we finally get to go the Pumpkin Patch as a family. The weather is supposed to be in the 60's so it should be really nice, I can't wait. See ya back here tomorrow w/ some Xmas projects.

Hugz,
Suzanne
