you are SUCH a hoot!

ok, here is mr. wise ole owl.. Actually “HE” is a “SHE” I really think she is adorable.  I actually called her  “baboo’s owl” because my mother in law LOOOVES and collects owls and my kids call her baboo.. don’t ask…

This is the card I made last night.. I coloured in with Copics, tied a little brown ribbon on the corner.. used Capuccino baubles and hot lips baubles and use Basic Grey’s infuse paper (lovey it) “you’re such a hoot”.. I also have “you’re so wise” to go with mr. owl.  Apparently owls are really HOT in scrapbooking?  could this be true???

ok sistah tappers

I think I am gonna tell you about my pinched nerve… most people just MENTION that they had a pinched nerve and move on but NOOOOOO can’t  I just let that one go? 

So I buy this STUNNING purse off of ebay.. I have to take a pic to show you.. it is AWESOME.. it is HUMUNGOUS, made by Betsey Johnson (not sure if you know who she is.. I wasn’t so familiar with her before this jaunt– I bought 2 of her purses and a cute carryon.. HAVE to show you).. I honestly feel like I am talking to all of my closest friends..LOL.  Ok, so this purse arrives, it is a type of messenget bag that you sling crosswise over your shoulder and across your body, right?  It is about 2 feet deep, has BRIGHT pink (2 shades) hearts all over it, with bling and a pair of lip smacking lime green lips on the bottom corner.. AWESOME.. best part of this purse is that it HIDES the butt.. depending on how you sling it.  WELL, obviously, I shoulda slung it a different way because it is BETSEY”S fault that this nerve in my neck went BAZONKA… we went to sleep the first night of our trip (which was phenomenal.. I actually had time to spend with my children and hub.. shhh.. anyone who received an email from me cannot tell hub as I SNUCK around with my little hand held computer).. Anyway… I digress for a moment of course… so I wake up the next morning and I CANNOT move my neck.. I knew that it was the purses fault but I could not admit it.. at one point, ryan is removing a light bulb in the kitchen of the condo and he kept on telling me some story and laughing.. and I was like.. why the hell is he laughing?  And i start laughing like a fool cuz he was laughing.. anyway I quickly learned that he was totally making fun of the way I was moving.. I was like a crab creeping sideways.. LOL  I could not for the life of me move my head… ARGH… my kids were petrified of me cuz I was moving at a turtles pace with a beautiful purse that was hurting the heck outta my neck but I was NOT going to give up…eventually after plenty of pain killers, my neck is back to normal and my purse has never been more beautiful..LOL!

Ok, back to bidniss…. I have posted most of my christmas stamps… check out my Christmas section.. we have AMAZING cutesy ornaments, a Christmatini, string o lights border (which is SO ADORABLE and matches the string o lights on my snowy house). I am in love with those string o lights and it can be used not only for christmas (not sure if that sentence was grammatically correct…LOL).  So check them out ASAP. Nicky is busy at work making beautiful samples to share and I am working on a great new feature on my website but cannot leak the details.. LOL

My bindah index dividers have been posted ( great to separate bellas from flowahs from borders etc.. and you can use a sharpie to write on the glossy pink tabs.. YUM) AND my new sentiment pockets… so cute!

 I also gave a hint to my ribbon..  This is the scoop.. You know me.. I am all about “the finer things”.. my husband “ADORES” that trait in me.. LOL (not).. anyway, I apply this motto to everything in my life.. I go for the gusto.. I guess it is in my spirit…LOL.  So between the swarovskis (only the sparkliest and the best), fine paper, the best coloring tools, I knew something was missing from all this.   SILK ribbon… lol!  I own every color grosgrain and stitched ribbon and the colors are all beautiful but I wanted something different.. something floppy and romantic and just so soft and delicate.. so YES, I decided to choose some special colors and GO FOR THE GUSTO.. I will have 7 colors to introduce in 2 widths… I can’t post it yet.. YA KNOW WHY??? come on… ask me.. Actually, let’s see some of the guesses… LOL…. let’s play a little.

K, I am falling asleep.. I think my neck ache has now given me an eye infection.  I AM A MESS

I love her SOOO much!! Mwah to that mystery artist who I love .. you know who you are… (she reads my blog too!)

 So…. this new line will have in between images that I am missing, it is a different style completely but melds into it nicely too.. ya know?  So Next week will be a big launchy week but I will post a sneak peek to one of the images later tonight to see if you likey or not!

good morning sistahs!

I was in the office today at 8:00 am working working working and wanted share some eye candy.. I LOVEY this card!

[photopress image=”soft_serve_card.jpg”]

 It makes me so happy!  I used my soft serve stamp and coloured with prismas and OMS.. I lined the cone with Swarovskis (of course.. shouldn’t every ice cream cone be BEJEWELLED??)…  I love ribbon (in case you havent’ noticed and on that note, you will be in for a surprise next week *winks*, take it as you wish……. but you didn’t hear it from ME… LOL!

I used 6 kabillion scalloped punches and ended it with the perfect sentiment “chill out”

I will be posting a little later on again as I have some big news to share!

Mwah to my girlie girls
