I LOVE this set from MFT Stamps called Hit the Beach. It lends itself to so many colors. I really like how Kim had all the cute little accessories in the set as well. Its just so so AWESOME! Now if only I looked like this girl in a bikini life would be good. maybe next year……..

I am also loving the fun summery paper and colors. Paper is double sided by Memory Box (beach collection-perfect eh?)

I can assure you that this layout will also be used again. I used my Copic Markers on this one.

With the heat wave we have going all I can think of is beachy images!

I received these red Sprite Primas from my friend Laura. Im not a RED person but LOVE these flowers. HAD to find a way to use it.

I think the way it was layered behind the girl worked pretty good.

Dont forget this set will FINALLY be available on the first of JULY! Yeah!

Thanks for lookin

Well I know its FRIDAY, but I’m getting my new room ready this weekend (and today we have a day planned on a boat for a day at the Lake) so figured I’d better post early!

I got my ceiling/trim/walls all painted!!! Now I need to get Jason to put the trim around the window, and fix the back wall (still need sheet rock) and I will put together my cabinets!

The other 2 electrical outlets he will do while I pack it all in!

 I feel like Im a slave driver missing her whip! LOL! I just want to go,go, go!! Poor Jason he comes home and works on it every night after dinner till 10:30 at night! Now THAT my friends is LOVE! I haven’t even said anything, he just knows ME! Im so lucky. I LOVE the SKY BLUE color on my walls. I can definitely see how it will help my creativity.

My HOPE is for Sunday-but realistically, may be during the week. Depends on how much “I” can help.

Any time my room is clean and well organized ideas just pour out of me. Now I feel a bit in a rut. Too much “clutter” in the process.

So I kept this week’s sketch SIMPLE! I also feel many people don’t layer images at the bottom-ever really. It can be very pretty. So I hope you will try it.

I was inspired by my Simple Sunflower card.

Oh yes back to the sketch! Sorry about my insane ramble!

I used the new Paper Trey set called Text Boxed for th e flower. It was stamped in CRAFT black ink, then embossed with iridescent ice embossing powder.

I colored the image with my twinkling h2o’s (love them). This BLING is simple but impacts the card alot. Stamped the smaller sunflower image in the center with black, then added a bling to the center.

Tied around some wirde organdy ribbon, anf then stamped my sentiment from Green Thumb.

I used my Martha Stewart cardstock on this. Just can’t stop using her stuff either.

Enjoy the weekend.
