And now for da SISTAHOOD

Inspiring?  I think so! LOL  Beautiful cards as usual

Wanna know next week’s theme?  I LOVE IT!  it’s an inspiration picture.  Use some chevrons.. make your own.. use the color pallette etc.. but make sure you use one of our stamps

Mwah to da sistahs who feel inspired for next week!

Em

grrrr. where does the time go?  I kiss the kids off to school and I am in a whirlwhind of a tizzy all day and now it’s 6:50pm.  Where has the time gone???? hmph.

So if you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen these already.. I just love instagram..  have I mentioned that lately? LOL.

So here are some things I have been up to..

I got Ryan addicted to marbling papers.. I had a “bee in my bonnet” to learn this ancient art.. and boy have we been having fun.  I just sit and watch Ryan do the work and I can see how much he enjoys it.. and the results are gorgeous!  These papers are phenom to back your images on cards, for collage, layouts.. you name it.  And the great thing about it is that each piece you make is unique.. there are NEVER two papers that come out alike.

Here’s Ryan hard at work

And here is just one sample of what he has created.  It’s magical!  Isn’t it GORGE???

I have also finally finished one abstract piece that I love.  I have been thinking of selling my art as I have been getting many requests.. but I just can’t bear to sell them.. I put so much of myself in them that they become little extensions of me.. does that make sense?  But alas.. I would like to share a little bit of me with everyone 🙂

this piece is acrylic, tissue, ink, paint, vintage wallpaper, the kitchen sink..LOL.  It makes me happy

and I have been stamping up a storm, collaging etc.. will share more pieces with you…

What else to talke about.. hmmm.. HOW DO YOU LIKE THE NEW RELEASE?  I am getting such an amazing response so I am thinking you lovey it 🙂  and there are more Audrey’s and uptownies to come!

Also don’t forget out 10% special going on.. you even get 10% off our sale priced items.. isn’t that phenom?  Take advantage, the sale ends Friday 🙂

Also Elaineabella is back at work at Splitcoast with contests and challenges and general banter.  Would LOVE to see you there.  Im telling you, I have been in this business for over 7 years and have met some of my BESTEST friends through splitcoast so please don’t ever hesitate to mosey over to our forum and chatter it up.. WE LOVE IT!  If you have questions, wanna share a project, talk about day to day stuff.. it’s a place to share our sistahood 🙂  you can find our forum HERE

Now for the challenge!  We have some winnahs from the last challenge.. and lets see some entries shall we?
