Bella Rose

My new SU order FINALLY showed up yesterday-I ordered it on July 1st! I will say that I love pink pirouette and HATE the tangerine color. SU's new DSP, bella rose, is so beautiful. That's the paper I used for this card. I colored Gardenia gardenthumb with copics.

Bettina Buttercup and Some Fourth of July Picts..

So first my card then onto last night :) I really wanted some "alone craft time" so I decided to lock myself up in the office and do some coloring. The little lady's name is Bettina Buttercream and I colored her in with copics. After I colored her I layerd her onto a polka dotted perfectly pomegranate rectangle, btw all the dsp used for this card is SU's cutie pie line. The card base is a 4.5x4.5 square of bashful blue.

We started off the day by attending the "Arlington's Fourth of July Parade"

After coming home, eating, and swimming we headed off to the fireworks store (we ended up going three times)

This was taken on our final trip..

This is when we found out that we wasted all that money on sparklers (Kylie was deathly afraid)

My cousin Ashlea and Kyle shooting off Roman Candles..

One of the waterfalls...


We ended up shooting of fireworks for almost two hours, It was awesome!

And The ROckets Red Glare...

So Kylie started her first day at day care today :/ I'm excited for her but I really hate being away from her. In her absences I was able to create this Fourth of July album. I used the Jane Austen font for the cover. The chipboard star is SU's; after I painted it white I used Stampendous' star dust embossing powder to make it shine :) The pattern paper is by rusty pickle.

Starry Birthday...

Today is my mom's best friends birthday-HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICK! My grandma is throwing him a party tonight at 6:30, its outdoors so I hope this Texas heat will have calmed down by then (lol). A few weeks ago I found this card on Kristina's blog and thought-hey that would be the perfect card to recreate for Rick! I just changed the embellishment, sentiment and ribbon.

Supplies:

Stamps: sanded, birthday basics (PTI)

Ink: Versamark

Paper: Imaginisce, kraft

Accessories: white embossing powder, George and basic shapes cartridge, corner rounder punch, white taffeta ribbon.

So this Thursday, Friday and Saturday is the Great American Scrapbook convention here in Arlington. Since I still can't drive-thankfully July is just around the corner-Kyle's Aunt Jan SOOO generously volunteered to drive me to the convention center and watch Kylie while I shop. I wanted to make her a thank you card, for being so "absolutely fabulous". The soft sky base is 4x3.5. the ribbon is papertrey's berry sorbet. I colored "kylie" with copics. The certainly celery scallop is made possible by my nesties.

Let the cute begin...

I wanted this card to be fairly simple because I know for sure its going to end up in the trash, so there is no bells and whistles. The striped paper is by Pebbles Inc. The brocade blue card base measures 5x4.25. The rectangle layers are certainly celery, bordering blue and then the striped paper. My main image is layered onto a barley banana long rectangle nestie.

Supplies:
Stamps: Big on spring
Paper: certainly celery, bordering blue, brocade blue, barley banana, striped
