My Friend Eastern Blooms didn't jump back on the shelf as he suppose to the other day, and I ended up using him for a few more cards....making alittle designer paper with it. FUN! FUN FUN!!

Here is Card 1:

Using more of the Pretty in Pink Satin ribbon.. I like it!

Using the pearls in the center of the flower was a nice gentle touch.. RIGHT?

I loved the little pearls that Stampin Up! is now selling... FINALLY after all this time you do not have buy them in a kit, you can get them all sorts of sizes and by themselves! HOORAY!

For a recent workshop, we did this little girls baby card. I got the idea for the simplicity from Ilina Crouse. She has a template for a Diaper box and cards. Check her out here for her blog. AND I got to incorporate the new Pearls!

Pretty in Pink

One of my all time favorite movies is PRETTY IN PINK - 1986, and yes I was old enough to watch it and understand it, and LOVED IT.. still do! So everytime I see the SU! Pretty in Pink colors- I am reminded of this movie. If you haven't seen it.. Its great, check your local listings and I am sure it is on TNT or TBS sometime in the near future.. It always is... but I degress.. I loved that Molly Ringwald made her clothes. She didn't care what the latest trends were, she did her own thing. I loved Duckie, played by Jon Cryer, who I had friends like, but didn't realize it until after high school. We cannot forget the bad boy/heartthrob Andrew McCarthy... he was awesome.. oh and James Spader who played that rich boy... OK OK ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!...

So I look at these colors and I am reminded of a movie, and long story short, this Color Combination just spoke PRETTY IN PINK movie to me...

Here it is:

Stamps: Great Friend, Vintage Vogue, Perfect Punches
Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Marina Mist, Certainly Celery
Ink: Marina Mist, White, Certainly Celery
Scalloped border punch

Thanks for Stopping by! Have a great day!!!

Dazzling up with Daffodil

You would have thought I won lottery when my daughter spotted the Daffodil Delight paper coming out of the SU! box, that arrived days ago.

Her favorite color... yellow... her now "I want" is this "yellow".. EVERYTHING.. from the "Mom, can you find this color in a tee shirt for me?" to the "lets paint my friends frames in this color"... to at last "Mom, when you and John get married, I want to wear this color.."... GOOD LORD!.. who said the new Color Renovation was just going to bring excitement to us Stampin Gals? ... certainly they (SU!) are gaining approval from the teenagers.. thank heavens for small things I gues... now I may have to win the lottery to turn my darling daughters world into Daffodil Delight.

First, I started with simplicity and added the pearl jewels (YEA FOR SU! FINALLY GETTING ON THE BALL WITH THESE IN ALL SIZES!)

I used the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder, and then the Floral Fusion die for the flowers. "Happy Birthday" is from Perfect Punches.

Have a great day!!
