OH EMM GEEE!!! Brown Thursday is my all time FAVORITE!!!

Hi Peeps!

Thank you so much for hopping with us today!!

So many releases and so many amazing stamps! 

I have a lot to share with you today so I am going to try to not talk your ears off.  {Yeah, right!}

First up I gabbed these amazing colored pencils by Derwent and I LOVE them.  I borrowed them from my Bestie but I will for sure be buying a set for myself!  They blend like a dream!!

 I am using Hanging In There by Phyllis Harris so cute I always get so excited when she releases new stamps!!  

 I just scribble the pencil right on there.

 Then I dip the blending tool into the Turpenoid and color over it.

 So easy and so much fun!!

Cut the images out and some ink and fun pattern paper and you are done!

See that flower on the banner?  I got hundreds of them at the thrift store for $1.99 then because the tag was a certain color they were 50% off.  Best deal ever!  There are a ton of them and they are so stinkin' cute!

Magical As Snow again by Phyllis Harris.  Same coloring technique, so fun and the best part is EASY!

 How cute is this set?  Lucky Dog!  by Angie Blom!!  That is actually my Husband's nickname and his old hunting team's name.  I can't believe I finally got a great shot using all Bazzil Bling.  I never get that lucky.  I love this paper so much but it sure is awful for pictures usually LOL  I'll never give up on it.  The love for it is real.  LOL

I couldn't resist this super cute photo prop.  This is our dog Abby.  God made her super cute and gave her a PERFECT head tilt.  Because she is one naughty dog!  If I took my eye off her for one second this card would have been a mighty good snack for her paper loving self.  You can see it in her eye she is DYING to snatch it out of my hand.  LOL  She ate a cardboard bank can full of Double Bubble gum once and while she chewed her bubble gum, she ate one of my coffee table scrapbooks.  What she left behind had pieces of chewed gum all over it.  The proof that I didn't kill her is above LOL

Speaking of messes.  Maybe Abby gets it from me.  What a giant mess Good grief!  LOL

 My BFF for the last 20+ years finally got the world's cutest baby!  Oh how I love that Little Man.  She needed some thank you cards from the shower so I made her 30 of these!  So much fun!!  I used Thank You Words and Little Bit Whale. 

I made this book mark for a good friend of mine.  I used Jar of Sunshine, one of my all time favorite sets.  There is no telling how many times I have used this awesome jar, I LOVE it!!  The flowers are from LOL Much of a Good Thing.  

You might have seen these two on the Unity blog already but I thought I'd share them here too.  The flowers are from Flowers + Friends = Priceless and the jar is from Jars of Love x 3.

 This one the girl is from KOM 5/15 Spread Your Wings and the light is from Shine Shine Shine.  

Don't get me wrong, making fun things with all the new releases is AWESOME.  Rootin' through all the old Unity/ippity makes me swoon and dance around my scraproom!  They sure might be old, but never forgotten.  There is plenty of love for all the sets LOL  : )

I am sorry about the glare.  The Bazzil bling paper is so shiny it can make a picture look bad.  But in real life, it is so beautiful!

I LOVE the  Filigree Rectangle Window A7 Scallop Card - Vertical from Creative Cuts and More!

I also really love this Filigree Rectangle Label.  I think it is perfect and I wish it also came in a smaller size so I could put it on the waterfall card squares LOL

Now, about the ...shine, shine, shine. set.  Can you believe how cute it is?  I totally love it!

I have it in stock and can ship it to you today for $16.20!  You know the dealio, free shipping and you can pick free stamps or free twine! 

Thanks so much!



At 12:01 you can see the new sets!

Here is one more sneak peek! 

This card is another project gone bad LOL  But wait until you see the one I am almost finished with!

I LOVE this Waterfall Card Set from Creative Cuts and More!

I didn't leave room for the pull tab at the bottom  oops!

Then when I started to check it to see if it pulled out smoothly and I totally belly ache laughed. 

I could not be a bigger dork!

See all those dragonflies?  LOL  A LOT of the time, I bag an idea and start over.  If you ever get a card from me, go ahead tear it apart you will see what I mean  LOL

I decided I love the printed backs.  I had never even thought of it! The one I'm working on now has polka dots!  Fun huh?  So this one will be headed for the round file but you may have noticed the VERY COOL stamps right?  :)

Come back after midnight Colorado time!  I think  LOL  I'll schedule the post for 12:01 on the 5th of July but Blogger might be in a different time  zone!

Thanks for stopping by!  It sure is nice to have the Internet back!  I actually caught up at work today!  *GASP*  Who does that?  LOL

A few little sneak peeks!

So you know that job I told you about yesterday?  It's perfect!  No new wardrobe for the office, no sitter for Carlee.  I was in my pajamas until 4:30 and when I finally showered I got right back into clean pajamas and went back at it!

Well you know how training goes.  Everything that never happens always happens.  LOL  I got frustrated a couple of times and you have to spend so much time on the phone getting things worked out.  I am promised soon I can do this and watch TV at the same time.  I can't wait for that LOL  I already miss listening to my books!  LOL

So any way, by the time I got to my room the only good thing that happened was having a beer with my pal Andrea while we texted on her Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLFRIEND!  I wish I had known!

I made some really ugly stuff last night LOL  I could not get it together to save my life LOL

I'm trying to make some masculine cards for a friend of mine and I really am awful at it LOL

That bottom strip of DP??  I had to attach that to the front of the card because the border punch I used looked way too feminine so I cut it off.  I wanted a little color in it and I really thought I could make this MME paper work.  Well I couldn't LOL  I thought a strip of the same paper instead of a ribbon would work.  Well, it didn't LOL  But do you see those STAMPS??  Those work and boy do they work well!  :) 

Now with AMAZING stamp, [did you know I have an addiction to butterflies?  I do!] I thought if I use black on orange I can get the Monarch look.  [Side note I was a Monarch in 5th grade in Pacific Grove, CA!  In the butterfly parade!  I rocked the look if I don't say so myself LMAO 

However something made me thing if I went with the lighter orange and used textured cardstock it would work better.  Again, it didn't LOL  But the stamp is VERY cool and I like it's messy look on textured, I will do this again only with a real orange, nothing summery LOL 

This was when I said I am done.  I'm going to bed.  NOTHING is coming together for me.   I wanted clean and simple.  Only the glittery EP is crap.  It doesn't melt well and pretty much bad EP ruins everything in my card making world LOL

So thanks for stopping by to see my ugly stuff today LOL  I sure appreciate it!  :)

Come back later for something that isn't ugly LOL  On the 5th, I can show you the full sets and ship them out!  They will be on sale for 10% off.  I have free shipping and 25 yards of free twine in the color of your choice!
