Okay, first up is my card for Sketch #9 by Jessica Diedrich that features the sweet Angel Anya in soft lavender accented with my uber-favorite embellies -- pearls! Yeah, I know - she's off-center from the sketch, but that's just where she ended up...LOL! I was SO tempted to cut out the center of her halo, but that little voice said, "Susan, leave well enough alone!" So instead, I shimmered it up with some PearlEx. I wanted something up in the corner, but not a flower, so I settled on a little Nestie flourish jazzed up with some more pearls & a petite butterfly sticker. Although now I'm thinking I should have added something more.
Next up is my card for Sketch #10 by, um, I don't know, because there's no name listed - Jessica again maybe? Anywho, it's a great sketch and I featured Susie Surprise all ready to party in pink! I used the argyle EF to match her skirt, and the ribbon that DD bought for me on a whim was a great complement! Originally, I had a single smaller flower, but it looked sad and lonely, so I added more luscious layers - now it's happy! The cute dimensional brads in the flower center & on the Nestie label were a gift from my stampin Sistah Judy - thanks, hun!So, is it just me, or does anyone else actually forget they have Nesties? I KNOW! What is wrong with me? I keep forgetting that I have those flourish AND those tag Nesties! I really think tonight's task will be to get them organized on the magnet sheets and in the binder I bought a month ago just for that purpose!
But first, I'm going to my friend Susan's SU workshop this afternoon followed by my friend Leanne's Tastefully Simple soiree! WOO-HOO! A day filled with stampin fun and food that I don't have to cook? *Pure joy, I tell ya!*
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hmm, I wonder if my Spring-A-Licious Blog Candy grew at all? *wink, wink* Hope you have a stamptacular day!
