WOW! Is it me, or has the blog world been Q-U-I-E-T?!
Maybe the holiday weekend?

Maybe I haven’t been particularly inspiring?! LOL! I have done a lot of 3D items lately-maybe that’s borning? Or just too much? I have no idea. All I know is I haven’t had the time to do all I want, and that is a hard pill to swallow.

Granted I know I have been busy too-Poor Noah has an abscessed tooth, and has to have it pulled today. He is ecstatic because then the tooth fairy will bring him $5! LOL! Oh and lets not forget cost mom & dad almost $200 at the Dentist!!!!!!!

Noah LOVES the dentist. He wants to be one when he grows up 😀 Im so happy he has had positive experiences there, unlike mine as a child :C. He has had some dental work done too, and his dentist said kids usually aren’t as enthusiastic after that. So I just hope he hits the books and wants to stay in school long enough for fulfill his dream-and of course have someone to fix my teeth when I’m old-for free 😀

Anywho-today I have a peek to share 😀 All That Scraps has another new line 😀 from C.C. Designs 

I’m totally in love with it-Fairy Junebug!

Now this won’t be released until Monday June 1st! So you have a few days to wait :C

Sorry it was like 8 o’clock at night here-so my photo is NOT top notch, and sorry, I wasn’t pullin out the photo tent for ONE card!

Now most the team has yet to get theirs as these are HOT OFF THE PRESS! Mine arrived late yesterday, so I ran to ink it up as fast as I could to get you all a peek 😀

This is the CLOSE UP

I had to do her hair green! No idea WHY! I just wanted to.

I added stickles to her-which looks better in person-I swear!

I love the background I created by sponging a portion of a new Spellbinders Impressabilities Butterfly!! It was such a fun and easy thing to do 😀

This is a 5 1/2 inch squared card

There are 2 Fairy June-bugs in this collection, so far. They are good size too.

So be sure to check out the BLOG for samples, and your chance to win the Fairy Junebugs set 😀 You will LOVE it.

Im workin on getting my card MOJO back. Wish me luck on that.

Tomorrow I’ll have peeks at another-to be released set!
In the meantime I hope you are all enjoying Stamp Out Alzheimer’s week!! Lots of fun to be had. There are daily giveaways and challenges, all to benefit a great cause 😀

Later!

My friend Katie from Paper Makeup Stampshad this DIGI image —> Fairy for Kayleigh<— designed to raise money for the family of Kayleigh Freeman. You can ready her story —> here.

Kayleigh passed away after a long fight with many medical issues since birth.

Upon linking this info, I went to the latest entries on their family blog, and just cried my heart out for this family. I didn’t even READ it, I just looked at the photos. I have no idea how they are coping. Talk about having Faith. Its easy to SAY, but not easy to LIVE. They are living it. They are in my prayers.

I made this card for the family, using Kayleigh’s image

Sentiment reads:

Each new life, no matter how fragile or brief, leaves tiny footprints upon our hearts

Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink-With Sympathy- Loss of a Child

Never did I want to have to use this set again. But, it was perfect, for such a time, when there are NO WORDS that can help.

Going with the sentiment-I airbrushed a heart around the Fairy Angel.

Her wings are glittered.

I think this is such a peaceful image.

Katie is doing a GIVEAWAY for a $25 gift certificate for those who use this image. Drawing is May 30th

Enter your creation —-> here

As I leave this post, I hope you are thankful for your family, health and life. Remember how precious EACH moment is. I’m off to appreciate my own children and family, as I say a prayer for the Freeman’s.

May God bless little Kayleigh.

This is going to be short and sweet as I think I now have a horrible sinus infection, and I need to take Amber’s pre-school to a very LONG field trip tomorrow, so I NEED to rest.� Didn’t help that I forced myself to stay awake to watch the first episode of the Bachelorette!!

Not sure if Ill be able to walk and drive all that way through tomorrow if I dont get better ASAP! AND handle a big group of 4-5 yo! Coffee with a turbo shot will be my best friend tomorrow.

That being said-WOW! I make a LOT of stuff. Sometimes so much that I FORGET I have certain samples to share :C

So I thought I’d post a few that were lost but not forgotten! This is just from my All That Scraps folder. (I keep each company in a separate folder so I can stay ORGANIZED! But have made SO much sometimes that I forget :C)

This is Bathing Beauty Emma

As you can see Im am just stuck on her being Strawberry Shortcake! I love her!

Sentiment was perfect-it is from AmyR Beach sentiments (AMY that is my fave of yours to date :D) I love the mix of bold and that other fun font! Serious must have!!

You can sort of see my sky. This does look super cute in real life 😀

Another Tweeties birdie

I think he looks SO cute as a penguin 😀 This could be a boy/man or girl/woman card! I love it.

OK� that it for me. I can’t muster another typed word.

I am heading to bed till I have to pick up the kids-

Later

OK maybe more like 3 days late!

This will be chatty! You can tell I haven’t blogged in a few days. Its like I was cut off from the world!

PS I do have my own template challenge DONE-I just need to photograph it!

I am SO late posting my Papertrey Ink release stuff! Having the newsletter in there and then my weekend festivities, really threw me off there. Plus now I sick! I like scratch sore throat, sinus infection sick! BLECH!

I always use these little sayings like above

A day late and a $1 short

Robbing Peter to Pay Paul

Called him on the carpet

things like that, and it drives my husband INSANE! He’s never heard most of the sayings I use, and I think thye are universal. He things I’m the weird one, but I think HE has been living under a rock.

SO help me win the argument and tell me you heard these, and please share others YOU use!! Maybe they are some I use and he can see Im not crazy 😀 AND by YOU volunteering them he will know you aren’t just agreeing with me :D! LOL! Plus I’d love to learn some new ones to make him more crazy 😀

OK moving on-CKC was fun! I think I like hanging with my girls more than the shopping 😀 OK maybe its the us shopping and enabling together?! LOL!  NO! I didn’t bring my camera. How would I shop with my big hinkin camera hanging on my neck?

I went with my best girls Paulette, MollyB, Traceyand her MOM, who I like to call mom, cause I love her to death! She is just the sweetest person ever. AND I think she is more of a private person so I won’t go giving out her address and stuff! LOL! JK! Some of our other friends from last year were missing :C But maybe next year! Yes I go every year!

There weren’t a lot of “sales/deals” KWIM? I figured with the economy there would be.

I got some of the PRETTIEST paper. I swear I go there just to spend ALL my $$ on paper! Good grief! I alway promise myself I WON’T do it. Actually me and my friends had a pact to NOT buy so much paper. Before you know it we are making each other get paper from here, there and everywhere! Good friend we are. Just a bunch of enablers. How are we suppose to resist the PULL of some of the prettiest patterned paper all in ONE place, at out fingertips, ready to go home with us? Obviously we can’t! I will say we did help each other if one said do I really need X, usually one of us was strong enough to say NO! you don! WALK AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will say I spent WAY less than usual. I honestly don’t have the $$ to go all out KWIM? I brought CASH and told myself I would NOT use my card-once the cash was gone-it was gone, and you know what-I had money left over! GO LAUREN!! I was pretty reserved 😀

We got some nestabilities that were on SALE for like $18!! All of them! Now that was the TRUE test. It was hard not to go wild. I want SO many.

I did also get some cool alterable stuff which I’m just bouncing over because you KNOW how I am with alterable and gift making-its my favorite thing, got some SUPER buttons  and brads OH! and 2 stamp sets that I didn’t need but they had butterflies, so I had to get it, along with stamp singles. I also got a SLICE cartridge for my SLICE machine-Ill share more about that later 😀 YES! I have a SLICE. YES! I have played with it-NO! Haven’t actually USED it in a project-YET! But its cool. It was suppose to hold me over from getting the Cricut Expression-and so far its workin because I haven’t hardly used it, so I had no business getting that till I get my $$ worth from my SLICE! The cartridges were on SALE-which at M’s you can’t use a coupon so that justified that.

While shopping I was stopped my lots of my blog readers who were also shopping and stopped to say HI! I think that is so sweet to get to meet people who come visit me everyday!! SO HI!!

OK now moving on to the PTI release 😀 You got to see some of the peeks through the week-so scroll down to older posts, for more ideas 😀

I have to be honest before I share-I have a VERY hard time-switching from template mode to card making mode! I don’t know what it is, but I get into the ZONE with templates so working with a flat surface gets to be challenging. I have SO MANY templates designed its INSANE-and I still have about 16 ideas sketched out on my desk that Im totally ITCHING to make into reality! Its crazy. OK who cares! I know!!

So that being said this month we released 2 templates: Let’s Do Lunch, and Ready, Set Wrap! I had (and am still having FUN with those!)

More sample to come 😀

OK ALL supplies from Papertrey Ink—>Click here<—-to see whats NEW!

Background Basics-Text Style

With Sympathy

Stamps: Fancy Flourishes, Background Basics :Text Style, Mega Mixed Messages
Cardstock: Sweet Blush, Smokey Shadow
Ink:Sweet Blush, Smokey Shadow
Satin sweet blush ribbon
Adhesive flower by Prima
Butterfly punch by ek success, scallop punch

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I ADORE this background! HOLY MOLY! Its beautiful. Oh and Fancy Flourishes-must have!! I love how the swirl makes a flutter trail and just looks elegant under the sympathy sentiment. I find these cards the toughest to create. I think I need to make an entire set with this design to keep on hand.

 I stamped the sentiment on my card base, then punched the layer with my butterfly, and laid it over it, with dimensionals

Can you tell Im loving the flowers that are on my lawn? I was going to KILL Jason when he ran over them with the lawnmower yesterday! GRR!! What am I going to do now for NO FUSS photo props?! MEN! They just don’t get it sometimes :D)

 I needed a sympathy card for my friend, who’s grandmother died the same day as Jay’s-creepy huh?!

I ALWAYS have to include a butterfly in my sympathy cards. Its just this thing I have. I think the Smokey Shadow with Sweet Blush was a great combo for it too.

Reach for the Stars

Reach for the Stars

Stamps: Star Prints
Cardstock: White, Aqua Mist, Navy, Pumpkin

Ink: gray,raspberry Fizz, summer sun, tempting turq, lemon tart, celery

You can’t tell by my horrific photo-that all the glass rims have “salted” or AKA glittered rims 😀

I love the set and how the cocktails gasses can be EASILY layered. WAY CUTE!! The whole set is fabulous.

Next up is Lisa’s set-Let Freedom Ring

I used my Let’s Do Lunch template. I can’t tell you how much fun I have had putting that one together!

Anywho-I filled this one with Hershey Milk Chocolate Stix! They are the perfect fit! YUMMY and not too high in the calorie department 😀

Here is a top view

My handles are purse handles I found at Michaels for $2! LOVE them!!

Detail photo

I made my own patterned paper using Lisa’s set. I love how you can make the border circle and the star 2 separate colors-easlily! I went with the red, white and blue for a festive 4th of July gift giving idea.

I think its cute 😀 Plus a great BOY option!! Change the colors and its a GIRLY option.

Lisa featured ALL our designs on her blog—> HERE! Seeing them all grouped together is really cool, I think.

OK that is all I got for ya today! I’m finishing up some designs and gifty stuff to go into my Etsy shop! This lunch box will be going there too. Im excited about everything, so I hope YOU will be too. (I’ll be updating it later-Ill keep ya posted) On another note: ALL recent orders have been shipped 😀

Have a great day! And as always thanks for stopping by

I hope you all had a great Mother’s Day!! I know I did. Amber did AMAZING at her dance recital!!! I was SOOOOOO proud of her. She looked adorable and knew every step. I’ll share photos soon. We spent the day doing all sorts of fun stuff. It was great.

Anywho…..

 OK another day of PEEKS! YIPPEE!

If you like Stars, you are going to LOVE Star Prints!

I had so much fun with this set this month. What I TOTALLY love is the co-ordination of Star Prints with the punch 😀 I don’t like CUTTING stuff like that out, and having this quick & simple option is fabulous for me. Makes great star themed projects easy peasy.

Nichole had the girls all use Star Prints to create a variety of cards/gift ideas!

My Timeless Templates to the rescue 😀 I used my newest-to be released in the 15th-template Ready, Set, Wrap! (No worries you will see the next template tomorrow!! Trust me its worth the wait!! Im in love it :D)

Like always, I NEVER know what I am going to do until I get to work. I usually start with ONE idea and somehow that becomes obsolete, and turns into a totally different idea!

I WAS going to do a Teacher theme (I did do a teacher theme project-but that ended up being used for the Idea Book for the other template I am peeking tomorrow :D) then had a MALE family friend have a BIG birthday-he turned 40! So, my idea turned ended up changing, to be used to create this set, for the PERFECT (in my humble opinion) MALE gift set.

I am trying to make MORE male/boy themed stuff with my templates for you all to see! I know I so lack in creating for that group! Sorry, I just LOVE GIRLY!! But, hey, guys/boys need gifts too!

Me, LOVING gift giving, had a BLAST adding a masculine twist-so show you that ALL my templates  REALLY are GENDER NEUTRAL!

The BIG 4-0! Set

Here is what I made him. Kept is clean, simple and FRILL FREE :O) That is easier said than done. I did add some bling STARS, but felt that was acceptable!

I used the Star Print with the numbers, and colored JUST the 4-0 RED for some POP!  Lucky for me they were RIGHT next to each-other! YEAH!! Gotta love when things just work like that.

Here is the card

Crisp, clean and as I said FRILL free!

(the swirl is a little peeky at another set you will LOVE-coming out on the 15th)

Since it was the BIG 4-0, I thought the sentiment was perfect too.

Honestly my photographs took WAY longer than the MAKING of this gift set.

I had this DONE in 15 minutes!

The Ready, Set, Wrap!  is my newest template! It is SO fast and EASY! You are going to LOVE it.

Making a card/gift box set has never been easier! I swear! I used the largest SU! oval punch for this one.

Now I made this literally one hour before the dinner. So my GIFT was bought ON THE RUN! I got him a $40 (because he was turning 40 :D) gift card to his favorite sporting goods store! Gift cards are ALWAYS the perfect option for me, especially for MEN!

So, I popped it inside here!

I have to admit stuffing in the filler wasn’t easy, without having pieces try to POP out of it! LOL! But it looked cool when you open it, so I made it work. My trick-pull out the pieces that pop out! LOL! OR snip them with scissors. This is the foil kind, not the paper-which is much easier to manage.

Supplies:

My Timeless Template: Ready, Set, Wrap!

Stamps: Star Prints, Fancy Flourishes

Cardstock: Pure Poppy, White, True Black

Ink: Black and a red marker

Punches: 2 inch circle, XL Twinkle Twinkle Star Punch by Fiskars

other: Adhesive Rhinestones

 I’m loving it.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing my excitement. You all make my day:D

 I also hope you like that more masculine stuff I will be sharing this release.

Till tomorrow :D)

OK Im running like a chicken with the head cut off.

This is short and sweet! Amber has her dance recital today-2 shows, back to back! So I don’t have much time. I need to be there for her.

Anywho-if you aren’t doing anything special……………and have stamp time………………..I got something for ya!

OK it is time for my first Inspiration Challenge!

Keyword MTTI 01

Link your projects HERE

This comes from a dress I saw online at the Children’s Place!

I LOVED the colors and pattern on the dress! Just use this image to spark your creativity in any way you can. No restrictions Just go with it.

MY take on this challenge will go up tonight with my FIRST Papertrey Ink Countdown Release project!

 I have my first template peek for this month, and a video for you! You won’t want to miss that I know its Mother’s Day-but you can take a 10 minute peek, right?

In the meantime…….here are peeks at what the My Time To Create Team pulled together from the challenge!

Now you can go HOP around:

Well its May 2nd!

 That means tomorrow is my Birthday!! YEAH! I’m actually happy to be 31 (sort of)

I always make myself a birthday card 😀 I hope to do that today (and post ON my actual birthday :D)

We are celebrating with friends today. We are all going out to eat (like 20 of us) at TGIFridays. We all have kids so they are the place that is the most accommodating! For some reason I LOVE TGIFridays. Fried Green Beans and Fried Plantains-YUM. Im sure I’ll be sick

Tomorrow is “my day” so Jay lets me “eat out” where ever I want for Lunch & Dinner! WAHOO! Breakfast is always my fave-homemade Belgian Waffles, with butter,caramel, whip cream and syrup 😀 Now (given healthier choices) Ill skip all the extras and just have fat free whip cream and fresh strawberries (still Yum-O!).

My mom bought me a TOTAL Spa package-mani, pedi, facial and deep tissue massage! Can you say HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway-I’m happy for my birthday 😀 I know I sound like a kid huh? But how often do we get a day to be spoiled? I know I don’t get many, so I definitely milk it, for all its worth.

Today is the very first official My Time To Create Challenge with my NEW! Team of talent! Im in awe of the samples! Wait till you see. You are sure to get inspired.

Here is the sketch

BONUS Challenge: Make it a Birthday Card! (Since my b-day is tomorrow I had to add that!)

Link Your Creation HERE

Now for my peek!

A hot cuppa

I have long awaited this image from Whiff of Joy-Willow with Hot Chocolate. She was FINALLY in stock, so I snagged her.

I made this girl to be similar to me :D, and using my favorite color-purple

She also features a felt flower I made-which I included a video for today

Keep reading!!

This is the felt flower that I show you how to cut from felt, in your cuttlebug machine. I also share how to use your nestabilities to cut felt as well.

I also show you how I stitched the flower, so you can see how easy and cost effective it is to create your own felt embellishments!! They would typically run you several dollars for only a couple in the store.

Here is the close up view of the sentiment I chose.

It is from JustRite Stampers -A little caffiene

Me loving coffee-it was PERFECT!

Here is the video-on how to make your own felt flowers

I hope you find the video helpful 😀

Now we move onto the My Time To Create Challenge Team.

This  is a collective view of PEEKS .

You have to hop around to see WHO made WHAT!

 Let me tell you, these girls are going to keep me hopping with their creativity, fresh outlook, energy and TALENT!

Thanks for stopping by!

YOU GOTTA READ THIS! 

FIRST-this is the THIRD post for today (yeah Im THAT BUSY and needing to share! LOL!) So don’t miss my VIDEO, or my Peek post!

Now I have to share some info that I am OVER the MOON about-literally!

Some of my blog readers alerted me that I WON 2 contests!!! WAHOO!!

Now the COOL thing is I never enter stamping contests or anything, but since I don’t have time to send in stuff for publication , I figured WHY NOT! So, I took some time to give it a try this time 😀 It paid off 😀

This was for the Cards & Gifts Week Challenge:

Contest One- over on The PaperCrafts Connection Blog This one you have seen. it used the My Timeless Template—>Take Along Tote!

Then I was alerted to this one!

Contest Two-The Mothers Day Gift Challenge

This was one of my most favorite projects using The Perfect Match template

But for ME the coolest thing was seeing that TWO of the winners, in other categories, used the My Timeless Templates too!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that not awesome??

Dana (who was just picked for my Challenge Team!) used Lolli-Pop Along, and the Rounded Wrap up!for her entry! Her blog post here

Dana is also giving away a My Timeless Template-HERE!

 Then the other winner Julie used From the Desk of-for her entry! Here is her blog post! It came out SUPER cute!!

—————————————————————

THEN-I was sent a link to THIS POST! You must read it!

I cannot believe it!! Joan Bardee likes me!  OK maybe not me, but My Timeless Templates 😀 Joan is a amazing person. Someone whose opinion I always valued. She is very blunt, straight forward (and funny/talented) crafter! She tells it like it is. Now I don’t KNOW her personally, but feel like I do through her writing.

So when I was sent this link and saw she was HONESTLY reviewing my templates-I almost got sick! LOL! I thought OH! NO!! What if she hated them? But then I read some of the sweetest words a designer could read about the product they put their blood, sweat, and tears int0!

I got teary reading it (like I do with ALL the posts or comments I see people make about them) because to hear that people really like them is amazing. A true dream come true. I’m use to gushing over other peoples stamp images or products, so when someone gushes over something “I” did, its amazing. I’m just a SAHM-to three amazing kids, with a BIG DREAM, and am stuck living in a little town, where no one knows what stamping is! LOL! So to share it all here is just crazy!

On another note: I swear I didn’t pay her! LOL! She put so much time and effort into her post for YOU to get a non-biased view from a customer / crafter.

Im just in shock. Thank you Joan for making my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRULY! How can I say thank you?! You have a girl almost speechless!

NOW last but not least-Nicholehas had a hard time accessing the gallery and whatnot-but I swear her announcement for the Templates is coming soon! You won’t want to miss it!

WHEW!!! Glad I go the extra shot of expresso in my iced coffee today! I needed it 😀

WOOT! WOOT!

I got a video done! Actually I got 6 done 😀 I changed my Mondays with Mytime Video category to Mytime Movies/Videos! The Monday must do is too much pressure! Just know I plan on doing a WEEKLY video-at minimum. I am enjoying it alot. I hope you are too.

SO, the video that I am sharing today is one that I have gotten hundreds of emails asking for! LOL! So I hope it doesn’t disappoint!

Today’s video is a Start to Finish approach to using the Copic  Airbrush System.

Many of you wanted to see it in action, to help YOU decide if its a must have. SO I hope this helps you. (and yes-you need it! LOL!)

I also share how you can use the Ciaos in it too! YES! You can! No buying new markers!! So no worries there. See I LOVE saving my peeps money 😀

Keep in mind Im NOT a copic professional! Im just like YOU-a stamper who learns my PLAYING! This is a video on how I use it, and it seems to work for me 😀

Enjoy-and I would LOVE to hear your feedback as this video took FOREVER-as I made a finished card sample from each portion of the video that I shared.

OOPS! One of my segments (doing the orange dots on the card-no worries same thing as the pink dots) goes black!!!!!!!! Please either fast forward, or continue on because the rest comes in OK

I can’t edit the video once saved, and ahve NO IDEA why this happened :C) SORRY!

NOTE: DO NOT CLICK ON THE THUMBNAILS !If you click ON the thumbnails AFTER the video it takes you to the Veoh site. Some of the content there I am told is “R” and “X”rated and you may not want to do that around young children. So if you just watch the video here on my blog, and avoid the thumbnails you should be OK. Not sure WHY they don’t have ONLY stamp related videos pop up, but I guess some aren’t.

Bottom line: Click at your own risk!

Thank you

WARNING! There are some extreme close-ups of my face when showing you stuff on the video! I apologize! Im a dork!

Now I will share the view of the cards that I feature in the video. Sadly they were taken at dusk :C Bad idea!

NOTE: All my cardstock/patterned paper, and most ribbon (not first card) is from Papertrey Ink

Here is the first card I share

Let your light shine

Stamp/Sentiment-In the Parlor from Lizzie Anne Designs NEW! Spring Release

This used a masking technique with the Copic Air Gun & Eclipse Tape. It looks so cool doesn’t it?

I was inspired by my lampshade for the side panel design on my card! Simply, fun & funky!

Now the next card-same great colors-same stamp set too!!

Without you there its just an empty chair

I have to say I LOVE my colored chair!

Now making this background with my Airbrush system was WAY fun!!! Simple card with lots of WOW! factor. I love the RETRO modern feel this has. SO HAPPY!

Now you know me and butterflies! I use a masked punched butterfly image, and created a 3D  scene with punched butterflies! (Punch is by Martha Stewart)

By layering on another punched butterfly (also Martha Stewart) from vellum cardstock, they appear to be fluttering off the card! 

I used Out on a Limb for my branches-an lightly stamped floral blooms.

I absolutely fell in LOVE with the NEW! Tiny Words & Borders set by JustRite Stampers. It fits PERFECTLY in the SU! 1 1/4 inch circle punch! LOVE THAT! I’d been hoping for more smaller sentiments and images like these 😀 These are coming soon! I got a preview 😀 Im a lucky a girl 😀 Check out what is next—HERE! WOWZERS!

AND they are having a GIVEAWAY TODAY!

Check this out

Today on the blog they are celebrating 300,000 hits with a JustRite Make a Wish Blog Candy Giveaway.  Blog candy ends Friday Night at midnight.

https://justritestampers.blogspot.com/2009/04/blog-candy-celebration-make-justrite.html

You know I had to help you WIN something right?!

OK moving on……..

This card uses the nestabilites as a frame-so easy, and a stunning look!

Here is the full card.

Just clean-simple and elegant. You don’t always need a million layers and embellishments for a great look!

This set is Garden Inspirations from Lizzie Anne Designs NEW! Spring Release

It also uses a sentiment from that release-Everyday Sayings (on the tag)

I love it

OK I have ANOTHER post to share, so I need to run! I also have to wrap up my PTI Design Team challenge, more template stuff, and my first My Time To Create Challenge stuff with my team. I am going to try to get out and COMMENT on your submissions as well. Im sorry I have been AWFUL about that :C I know that everyone who reads and checks them out gains so much inspiration form you when they peek at the collective enteries 😀 So thank you!

Thanks for reading, and watching!

I’d love to hear what you thought of the video, and if you plan on trying or buying!

Strawberry Beach

Now When I saw these images I was taken back to my LOVE of Strawberry Shortcake as a little girl! I had the doll, where you squeeze her tummy, her breath smelled like strawberry!! How cool was that?! LOL! As kids (back in the day” we got excited over scent doll breath! Now my girls doll, suck on a bottle, EAT doll baby food, pee & POOP! as well as talk, cry, coo, and move all over! Is that not insane? Im scared to see dolls 20 years from NOW! We wont need to have babies! LOL! They’ll have synthetic ones that probably grow too!

Here is my close up

So I had to color her LIKE Strawberry Shortcake. Im excited over this collection 😀 Problem is I ONLY see her as Strawberry Shortcake! LOL!

Now we have another Strawberry Shortcake girl

Surf & Sand

How cute is she? I just love her. The paper was very inspirational to me as well. I got it at Target years ago!

Now tell me you don’t see a MODERN Strawberry Shortcake too? (Sorry I just can’t get over it!

Here is my UBER close up-eek!

I made sand by air brushing, as well as dotting on various shades of Copic marker 😀 I like the look!
