More Penguins

here is another whipper snapper card. dave liked this one better because the penguins are lighter in color than the previous one. another proving my love of buttons.

Whipper Snapper and Cosmo Cricket

Laura and Michelle came over for a stamping day, and we had so much fun. it took us a while to figure out a time that we could all get together.

recently, i did an image swap on scs. these penguins are from Whipper Snapper, called S is for Sledding. i think they are adorable, but kinda hard to tell that they are penguins. i had fun coloring them tho, last time Mom and i got together, we had fun too, and i spent the whole time coloring a bunch of different images.

i also won 3 pads of Cosmo Cricket paper on Moxie Fab blog. i love the paper so much, i don't want to use any of it(Early Bird). but i love the red snowflake paper(Jolly by Golly), and had to use it with the penguins.

i also used Nestabilities Tag Trio to cut out the "warm hugs" and then left it on while i used my new Tim Holtz blender tool. i love the way it has the white trim on it.

at serendipity, kim had these great clear rings, so i used one stipe out of the cosmo cricket early bird paper for my ring. and i got the JustRite alpha set and put a M on a leaf sheet from the same paper for michelle. it was so much fun, i want to make some more rings, one of every color. inks: Memento rich cocoa, Koh-i-noor pencils, blending medium

paper: PTI white, Cosmo Cricket Early Bird & Jolly by Golly

accessories: snowflake brads, loose snowflakes, clear rings, nestabilities curved rectangle and tag trio, Tim Holtz blender, glitter pen on snowflakes, crystal effects on sealing paper on rings.

here is another gift set using Labels 8 nestabilities and Basic Grey paper, the Mellow line. i also added one of mish mash's notebooks with knitabella on the cover.

paper: SU old olive, choc chip, PTI white

ink: Memento rich cocoa, koh-i-noor pencils, blending medium

Market Fresh Recipe Book

some were grossed out by the last post, so i thought i would let everyone see what the nov 7th class at Serendipity is going to be. a recipe book using Market Fresh paper, with acrylic covers.

i love this blue paper, reminds me of a bandana.

yes, the insides are using PTI recipe cards. and the dividers are using JustRite Recipe and Borders set.

Oddest, Weirdest Thing i have seen with my own eyes

these 2 leopard slugs were hanging on our screen this morning, by a long thick thread of mucus. is that gross? i thought maybe one was giving birth, but once i did some research, discovered they were mating.
i took this little video with our camera, it is almost 3 minutes.
documentary film link is a 4 min video, that explains what is happening.

Pinki's Tote

this tote is for my aunt pinki. i love the giraffe print with the scroll work print.

Kim's Tote

here is the latest tote. kim picked out her own fabric. i think the colors match so well.
