Aloha

Hello! I added this to my card auction benefiting Rescue Junkie, the organization that saved my Wrigley from a kill shelter. If you wish to bid, do so HERE on my facebook. :)  I used lots of set from MyFavoriteThings...and colored everything with my Copics.

Happy ALOHAlloween

Hello! Remember this sweet hula girl? Well, she has had a rough few days. Her parrot friend flew off, and she met with an unfortunate end. Here is what she looks like now...

Giggle, giggle, snicker! :) I made her a "walker"! I colored her with my Copics. She is was the hula girl from the Polynesian Paradise set by MyFavoriteThings. I left her pupils where they were, and just drew circles to make her new eyes. I made the greeting by combining the "aloha" from the Polynesian Paradise set by MyFavoriteThings with the Fright Night set from MyCreativeTime. Get it???  Happy ALOHAlloween? I crack me up. 

Well, I hope you're having a better day than my hula girl! HAHA

Hiya! I hope you're having a great day. I'm just passing the hours until the NEW season of  The Walking Dead! Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyy. Anyhoozle, I broke out the Polynesian Paradise set by MyFavoriteThings. I stamped the parrot first and masked him off, and then stamped the hula girl so he could sit on her hand. I colored them with my Copics. The greeting is also from the Polynesian Paradise set. 

My DVR is going to get a workout tonight. Such a good tv night. :)

Warm wishes and sunny smiles

Hello! I hope you're having a beautiful day. :) I finally broke in the Penguins In Paradise set by MyFavoriteThings today. First I made them a beach by watercoloring with distress markers. I colored the penguins and the palm tree with my Copics. I added wink of stella and glossy accents to the penguin's swimmie. I also added glossy accents to the floating penguin's sunglasses. I used a few sequins for coconuts on the palm tree. The greeting is from the Polynesian Paradise set by MyFavoriteThings. 

I am trying to keep myself busy until the Cubs play tonight! Eek! The antici....pation!

Warm wishes...

Hello! I really enjoyed this Watercolor For Card Makers class at OnlineCardClasses. It was short, but super informative. :) Today I gave no line coloring a go. I used the flowers from the Hey There Little Lady set by MyCreativeTime. I painted with distress inks and water. The greeting is from the Polynesian Paradise set from MyFavoriteThings. 

I hope you're having a great night! I'm super stoked that my fave band/obsession PEARL JAM is going to be on the Colbert show tonight! YAAAAAYYYYYYYY  :) 

sending a little happy

Hello! Here's the card I made inspired by day 1 of the Watercolor For Card Makers class at OnlineCardClasses. I made a background using the plumeria cluster from the Polynesian Paradise set by MyFavoriteThings. I stamped it over and over and white heat embossed it. Then I watercolored with distress markers. I cut a circle from vellum using the Bunch Of Fun Circle Dies by MyCreativeTime. I embossed it with a folder.  I used the Happy Trio Dies by MyFavoriteThings. And for the greeting, I white heat embossed "sending a little" from the Sending Sunshine set by Wplus9. I finished it off by adding glossy accents and sequins.

Thank you for the hospitality

Helllllooooooooooo! I'm baaaaccckkk! We have made it safely to our new home...well, with a not so fun event along the way. We had to travel from San Diego to Jacksonville, and along the way we were stopped at a hotel in Texas. While we were sleeping, someone busted out the back window of our van and stole a tv we had with us. UGH. So, we ended up being stuck there for a day and a half getting that all worked out. Anyhoo, we have been in the new house a week today. I took a break from house stuff to CREATE today. :) I had this idea in my noggin, and I wanted to get it out and make a card for the Card Design Superstar contest at MyFavoriteThings. I used the Polynesian Paradise set by MyFavoriteThings for the pineapple and greeting. I stamped the pineapple with a rainbow of distress inks, and then painted them in with water...and then added splatters of the same color per row. I white heat embossed the greeting, and added a little vellum behind it. To finish, I added a few sequins. :) 

I hope you are having a wonderful week! I missed you! ;)
