….. well at least for now! LOL! At least until I have time to color more. I can’t tell you how addicting these images are. They are so fun!

For this one, I used a Sakura Glaze pen to go over the sunglasses. I loved the shiny finish it added to the card. I also added the Adorn-It Jewel Droplets in the corners.

This one was a lot of fun, too!  I ended up using me “ever-so-popular” Sakura Stardust pen.  That thing is a “necessity” now.  I seem to use it on almost all of my projects.

I am wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I’m VERY grateful to all of my friends and family.  I can’t believe how blessed I am to have such wonderful people in my life.  This stamping life has definitely brought some of the finest people to me.  I am truly blessed!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Are you sick of these yet?  I am addicted to coloring these images.  I can’t help it!  They are just so much fun to color. I added a bit of Fun Flock to the headband thingy.

Stamp: Suzy Toronto - Enthusiasm
Paper: SU Tempting Turquoise, Black CS, My Mind’s Eye - Party - Girl Harlequin
Other: Copic Markers, Stampendous Fun Flock, Sakura Quickie Glue , MME Bling

This was another card from my Stamp-A-Stack from a few weeks ago.  I tried to keep it simple, but fun.  It’s hard to tell that I used a Shimmer White cardstock that I ran through the snowflakes cuttlebug embossing folder.  That shimmer white gives it that extra sparkle! :)  I colored the image with Copic Markers and added a little Sakura Stardust to the “snow” to give it that extra shimmer!

Stamps: Penny Black Snow Hut, Lizzie Anne Designs - Christmas in the City
Paper: SU! Bashful Blue, Cryogen White Cardstock
Other: Copic Markers, Sakura Stardust, Marvy Giga Scallop Circle, Marvy Mega Circle, SU! Oval Punches

A few weeks ago, I had a Stamp-A-Stack at my house.  The most stressful part preparing is not cutting 200 cards….. its figuring out what to create.  My girls are always so nice and always say that they like the project….. but I sometime struggle to come up with ideas.

A few months ago, I was checking out Taylor VanBruggen’s blog and I was totally inspired by her Doodle Joy card.  I knew the ladies would love to do something like that.  This was my twist to her card.  And you know I would love any card that had “Joy” in it!  LOL!  Thanks for taking a peak!

Stamps: Stampendous - Doodle Joy
Paper: SU Old Olive, SU Bashful Blue, SU DS paper from last year
Other: Sakura Stardust Pen, Copic Markers, Stickles

Since I had the stamps out and since I had the paper out from my last card that I made, I thought that I would make something similar, but with different paper from the MME paper and a different Suzy Toronto Stamp.  I have to thank Broni Holcombe (aka waterchild12 on SCS) for pointing out these adorable stamps.  I am having so much fun coloring these Suzy Toronto Images!!!!!

I’m really enjoying these Free Fridays because I enjoy seeing everyone’s work. Since I don’t get as much stamping time, I’m living vicariously through the projects I see!

This week’s Free Friday give-away is Jewel Bling from My Mind’s Eye. These are awesome because they already have adhesive on the back. Just pull it off and stick it on your project.

So…… I would like to see the usual…… I would love a link to a project or projects that use some sort of bling like this on it. And if you don’t have any bling like this, I’d love to see projects where it could be used or would have added the perfect touch! Don’t forget…. you have until midnight Sunday PST!

I don’t know how many of you are as in love with the Bee Happy and the Changito stamps from Stampendous as I am.  When I saw the new images I fell in LOVE!!!!!!

eclectic Paperie is hosting a Coterie.  (Read the details here) We are almost to our goal of one free stamp.  Come join the party to get these cute stamps in this cute (re-usable) Acrylic Pail!   As Daisy calls it….. It’s a “Party in a Pail”.

Come join the party!!!!!

Erin K: (http://erinkcreations.blogspot.com/2007/11/santas-coming.html) That santa is very cute with his liquid applique.  Fun flock would be very fun for him, too!

Aimee: (http://aimee-relaxinwhilestampin.blogspot.com/2007/11/oh-i-gotta-love-rain.html)   That fun flock is perfect for the top of Hanna’s boots.  Isn’t this just the funnest stamp set?

Ladies, please contact me with your mailing address and what color flock you would like! :)  Thank you.

For those of you who are still on the fence about the Stampendous Coterie, we are halfway to the first free stamp.  Come join the party.  These stamps are just too cute to pass up.  Be one of the first ones to get them!

Stay tuned for Free Friday #4!

Fun Flock…. Who doesn’t love fun flock? I looooooooooove to flock! LOL! I’m seriously addicted to flocking. I have my Quickie Glue pen handy just so that I can flock something on a card.

I have two flocks to give away….. But you know me…. I want to see samples using Fun Flock. If you don’t have any flock, maybe you can show me a sample of project where fun flock would have been perfect! You have until midnight Sunday (so you get an extra hour to stamp this weekend). Come on….. I want to see some flocking!
