Diamonds, Rubbies, and Pearls oh my!

When this goes live I will be sitting comfortably (half asleep, but fighting every yawn) at Cinemark in Victorville, probably watching previews of what's to come to theaters... don't you hate how much they drag out the darn previews... give me Johnny already!!!

This is Maxine, she has found the love of her life as I watch mine (not really, the real love of my life is at home snoozing with the toddler) on the big screen!  She is just too cute!  I loooved all the bling I added on this one!  The gem flowers are so 3D I will not be able to put it in an envelope!  Papers are from the same lines as the others.  Hope you like her, I think she is going to look really cool with some pink hair... just some ideas floating around in my head!

Hello Red!

One more night!  WHoohoo!!!

Today I would like you all to meet Ginger!  I don't know why, but she just struck me as a red head... I think she happens to look like my lovely friend Lelia! She's probably just as sassy... what do I mean proably... she is!  hee hee

I used Graphic 45 papers on this one, not so old so you all can probably still find it (look at me assuming you want to duplicate my card for fun) the cross stitches were done using Bazzill Basics thread and the Skull is from Rusty Pickle.  I used Crackle accents by Ranger on the skull and sprinkled it with the glass glitter (I think that's what it's called, or something... it's the thicker one that looks more like small broken pieces of glass) from Art Institute.... man do I have a stash of fun stuff from years ago or what!  I remember all these fun goodies in my store when it first opened, I couldn't wait to use it... here we are two years afer my store closed and I am finally using it!  Well, hope you like it see ya tomorrow!

Arrrr!!!

Day 3 of previews and only two more until the midnight showing of Pirates 4, I am so excited!!!

I can't wait to go, I am worst than my kids!  I love doing the midnight showings with my kids, it's the only time it's just the three of us, not that I don't want my hubby and toddler with us, but it's something I think the three of us will always remember... crazy Momma taking them to these wild midnight showings!  LOL

Okay, okay, let's get on with the preview...

Look at that cute little monkey on Mary's back!  I used the Cap n Jack line from Rusty Pickle, again from years ago.  The Sentiments are from Hambly Studios, rub-ons.  I didn't know where to go with this one, but I really liked how it turned out.

Meet Lizzy....

Ahoy again!  Did you all enjoy my preview from yesterday?  I sure hope so! 

I have been having a blast with this new line of mine!  So excited to show you all the rest like Lizzy here.... isn't she cute?  Makes me wonder what she's thinking about.. you put your right hip in, you put your right hip out... no?  hee hee sorry that song popped into my head because of the two year old we are trying to teach it to him... and his left and right!

I used more Rusty Pickle paper from 2006!  Wow that is a long time ago an sadly it's not the oldest paper I own.  I have been hoarding so much fun paper that now when I do my projects I can't make kits or even direct you all where to get it cause it's gone :( but it was fun using it :)  Even the heart with skully stamp in the middle is from way back then, I don't even remember the company... I want to say My Sentiment's Exacly?  Yeah it is!  Wow that was 2006 too!

Pirates on the Horizon...

Hello everyone... as you all know I own both Simply Betty Stamps and The Burtonesque Dolls... well from time to time I will be releasing fun images with both teams... I can only expect my girls on both teams to do so much before they get over worked right?

So today our release previews are coming to you from my Burton Dolls can you all give them a big whoop whoop?!!  LOL ok enough silliness let's get onto the cuteness!

Today I have Bonnie for you, I had so much fun doing this card because it is the first time in a long, long, long... LONG time that I made a card without any other intention for it other than to have fun with it!  SO... I used a sketch from a new fun Sketch Challenge blog from one of my OG Burton Dolls DT member Jen Schults!  She is amazingly talented and I will be participating quite often! 

Here's the Sketch that you can find here at Deconstructed Sketches!

and my Card with the Sketch using Bonnie!

Like I mentioned before, it is the first time I sat down and just created, didn't make notes of what colors I used, what papers, how I did it, measurements or anything!  And Guess what!!  I actually enjoyed myself... watch out I may do that again... you know create just for fun, just for me!  Well hope you like it see you tomorrow for day 2 of thes Funky Punky Pirates!
