A lil' Retro Flair!

I'm baaack sugarbunnies!!

I wanted to pop in and share this little card I made using one of my new TGF stamps!!  Have you seen this uber-adorable Special Edition Cheeky stamp??? OMG!! there are a few of these little ladies, and they are ALL stinkin' adorable, but for my card today I used Cheeky Glamour:

Isn't she cuuute??? I stamped her onto Cryogen White paper, which is just phenomenal, BTW.  It has a gorgeous shimmer to it - I've SO died and gone to heaven!!  I used my memento tuxedo black ink, and then colored her using Copic markers. 

This gorgeous card layout is from the lovely Pam Varnell's Sketchy Saturday post.   I used some patterned paper from the October Afternoon Report Card Collection, and a bit of ballet blue Grosgrain Ribbon from SU!.  I even added a tad of Gold Smooch to the edge of her mirror, 'cause she's fancy like that!

Thanks for stopping by! I'm off to do some more stampin' so stay tuned!!  Hope your week is off to a fabu start!!

Bollywood Glam!

Happy Friday sugarpuffs!

It's time to part-ay with some Indian flair!!

I have been having SO much fun playing with a bunch of different images that I've been drooling over for eons, and during one of my little shopping adventures last week I came across this gorgeous little cutie from The Greeting Farm!!  Is she not the cutest thing evah??

Eeeek!!  Behold Chibi India - could you just die??? She is stinkin' adorable and pure Bollywood glam!  She's a digi stamp too, isn't that cool?? I still break out in hives when I use Digis, especially if they need a lot of coloring, but luckily this one went off without a hitch!  I used my trusty HP B8550 and Choice Buttercream CS, and colored my image using Copic Markers.  I added some gold smooch paint to her eyeshadow, and bracelets, and then added a little red twinkle to her forehead.

The gorgeous ribbon is Martha Stewart Gold-Walnut, and the little pearl flower is from Jenni Bowlin.  Isn't this a fabulous layout?? I used Mercy's Tuesday sketch MTSC88.  Mercy is the sweetest thing on this earth, and I just looove her sketches!  Anyhoo, I used some glittery SU! paper I got last year (the name escapes me!!) and I am SO giving this card to my MIL, 'cause she's so sweet - not to mention this image totally reminds me of her when she's all glammed up!!  :)

Thanks for stopping by!! I hope your Friday is off to a great start!!

sweetness!

What could be more yummy than a bunch of cherries?? 

Well, considering I am horribly allergic to the fruit (such a shame, I know!!)  to top it off, the allergy only shows up on my lips so they puff up like this:  , so I'd say it would have to be sweet cherries on my new delicious Cosmo Cricket paper!!  oh, and especially when when paired with my Princess Anya stamp from The Greeting Farm!

So stinkin' cute I just had to share!  I picked up this paper at ScrapbookExpo last Saturday.  I ran over there with my partner in crime Yvette, and I use the word "ran" very, very literally, since we decided to head over to the show at the last possible minute, and with our combined wonderful sense of direction, we reasoned  "hey, the show's in New Jersey, how far can it be?"  I mean we're only like 10 minutes away from Manhattan right??... well WRONG!!!  I was driving like a mad woman for about an hour and a half in that hideous road to nowhere known as the NJ Turnpike, and WE STILL weren't there!! OY.. anyhoo, we finally made it, and we'd barely strolled through 2 aisles when they announced the show was 15 minutes away from closing!

You never saw my short little legs move so fast!!!  we dashed around that whole expo -  l swear people around us must've thought we were ransacking the place 'cause we were tearing through those aisles as if our hineys were on fire!! 

Anyhoo we managed to score some great deals, and we even managed to find our early Christmas presents!!  ahem..I mean we found some gorgeous Cosmo Cricket patterned papers, among them this gorgeous cherry paper from the Early Bird Collection!! yummy!

I just looove my cherry red princess!!  I hardly ever use white for my layers..not sure why! but I thought they gave the paper a nice little "retro" touch.  Anya is colored using copics (of course!!) am I getting too repetitive?? lol...  I first stamped Anya on the white circle panel, and colored the "back" part of her hair.  I then stamped her again separately so I could just mount the "front" part of her starting from her crown with dimensionals onto the panel, this way it gives her lots more depth.. I hope that made sense!! (that would be a first for me) but anyhoo, take my word for it - she's delish!

Thank you for stopping by!  I am so looking forward to this weekend! Lot's of stamping to squeeze in!!

Happy Friday!!
