Hiya sistahs! Long time no speaky leaky SHMEAKY!
So the voting continues.. don’t forget to post here (the secrets comment)
Also, don’t forget your BELLARIFIC FRIDAY post due Thursday!
Ok let’s talk about some sampleZ for today!
I decided I felt like making an EZ PEEZY card.. using our PRIMA SAY IT IN PEARLS flourish .. such an easy card and you can use portions and make multiple cards! I used BASIC GREY SUNKISSED from the Lemonade collection as well as PINK FIZZ from the same collection and used this sentiment.. this would also be wonderful for a wedding card or shower card!
and now for the sneaky peeky.. here is a new stamp from our new CHRISTMAS LINE! It’s called CANDY JAR… I used the new COSMO CRICKET JOLLY BY GOLLY COLLECTION.. and I used my new FAVE tool.. the colorbox STYLUS with foam tips (3 come in a package).. OMG.. also used the chalk CATS EYES INK in CHOCOLATE and BLUEBERRIES.. used a couple of the browns in there.. LOOOVE IT!!! Also used my favorite PHOTO CORNER punch and RUBY BONBONS
Now Let’s take a LOOKY at what DA BABES have been up to?!
JENABELLA made a DEELISH card using PHOEBE KETTO
JOANNABELLA made 2 adorable cards using LIL ARTIST and I-WISH-I-LOOKED-SO-GOOD-ON-A-BIKE- ABELLA
