Halfway ammusing for a few minutes. Ha ha ha Hope all are having fun being creative!

Okay so things are getting better. What do you think of this Gal? She is my newest design from Laura's Greetings. I just started to draw my own designs for my cards. This little gal's saying is "Happiness is finding that thing that MOOOOves you!" or "True happiness comes when you stop MOOving to smell the flowers." She is one of my favorites. I hope to make them into stamps someday! But for now they are mearly print outs. I have so many more... come back soon to see more.

Okay so here is what I have come up with today... Not a really exciting stack of cards, but I HAD to try the Surprise Pop-Up Technique. Fairly easy!

I used Wild Wasabi, Pamagranite, and pretty in pink colors. with Cosmobella which I took the cosmo out of her hand and put a shopping bag in it instead cause I am giving it to my neice and a drink in her hand would not fly with the sister-in-law! ha ha ha

Creative Block

Okay so lately I have sat at my desk and looked at all of my wonderful toys, stamps, tools, and colors are all around me... but for some reason I haven't been able to get my head out of the clouds and create. So here is my plan, There are different challenges every week from different places. I am going to go and attempt this weeks challenge and see what I can come up with!

This week's favorite things

My favorite things change weekly, but right now, my favorite things are the things that are "Fallish" I love the pattern paper, and the autom colors.

I think we should all get into the Earth Tones. I love the Rich Rusts, the Vibrant golds, and the Deep Chocolate browns, and Dusty reds. I just think the mood they bring is so with the season. I of course am a HUGE fan of Stampin' Up! So the colors that are in the "Earth Elements" color family are perfect for this time of the year.

Another favorite thing right now is... Bellas! I love these simple stamps that you can find at: http://www.stampingbella.com/ Emily is the artist that creates these fun little ladies... (and of course their fellas) These spunky little gals are ready to play no matter what your occasion is. I have some but need to get more. They show up at your door via United States Postal Service, from Canada. They show up just simple peiced of rubber... So on your first order you will need to buy an acrylic block if you don't already have one, and you will need some stick-em stuff... You can get it all from Emily at the website. Here is one of my favorite cards I made with these great gals. They work so grand with patterned paper! These funky gals are great fun!
