Hi Friends~  I hope you are all doing great and for my U.S. friends you are gearing up for the extra long holiday weekend I hope yours is great!  Happy Thanksgiving to you all!  I am so thankful for my family and friends and for our new bundle of joy on the way.

On the home front - hopefully we will have the final inspection of our house this next week so we can start moving in!  I am so looking forward to getting settled into our home and then getting the nursery set up for Baby G!

I've made a card without using Copics...can you believe it?!  I got this fabulous Memory Box Ornament Die (that I got from SCACD, Susana carries a lot of the Memory Box Dies) that I just had to use for the focal point of a card and I love how it turned out!  Papers are from Bo Bunny Midnight Frost Collection.

Ornament was blinged up using Blue and Silver Self Adhesive Rhinestones from WOC.  The snowflake charm is also a WOC product.  I used my Bow Easy to make the bow on top of my ornament.

WOC flower arrangement #1 consists of: 30mm Wild Rose, Small Poinsettia Blooms with Medium Moonstone Brads, 8mm Semi-opened Roses, Lilly, Small Silver Snowflake, Large Hologram Snowflake, and the little Silver Twist accents were made using German Glass Glitter.  You have probably seen these on Bev's creations - thanks hun for sharing your secret of using the German Glass Glitter to make our very own sparkly twists!

Flower arrangement #2 consists of: 30mm Wild Rose, Small Poinsettia Blooms with Medium Moonstone Brads, 8mm Semi-opened Roses, Lilly, 4mm Rosebuds, and some more of the little Silver Twist accents were made using German Glass Glitter.  The arrangement was finished off with a  Sparkling Rhinestone.

And one more view!  I hope you have enjoyed my Holiday Creation.

For those of you going Black Friday shopping I hope you get all of the good deals you are looking for! Hubby and I will be venturing out for a little shopping too....but not until the afternoon.....this pregnant mommy doesn't need to fight people at the stores!  lol!

Susana Loves Stamps Release Day!

Hi Friends~  I hope you are all having a fabulous Friday!  Today SCACD has a fabulous new release for you!  Susana Loves Stamps Eyes of Adventure Collection and Eyes of Fables Collection!  These sets are absolutely amazing!  Each individual stamp comes with a fantastic accessory stamp too!  BONUS...I love that!!!  If you are here from Dianne's Blog then you are in the right spot, if not the complete list of the hop can be found at the SCACD Blog.  I hope you enjoy your stop here at my blog!

I am happy to introduce to you:

Vintage Eyes  

As soon as I saw this stamp I knew I wanted to keep the card soft pastel colors, which is very hard for me color because I always want such dramatic colors.  The papers I have used are My Mind's Eye which you can find other fabulous MME Collections -->here<-- font="font">.

Vintage Eyes was colored with Copics and pastels.  Her gorgeous ruffled sash/bow got a coat of Diamond Stickles, along with all of her bows.  The middle of the sunflower got a coat of Star Dust Stickles.  Her eyes were accented using Diamond Glaze for the shine factor.

WOC Flower Arrangement consists of:  35mm Trellis Rose, 20mm Roses, 15mm Roses, Gypsophila, and flat back pearls.

For the corners I used the NEW Dies by SCACD Fancy Flower Corner Die.  This die comes in a set of two!  If you haven't checked out all of the amazing NEW Dies by SCACD, click -->here<-- font="font">  to go and see them!  The patterns and intricate details are amazing and cut like a dream!  I had NO problem what-so-ever cutting this corner die with my Grand Calibur...I didn't even need to use the wax paper trick!  That's how AWESOME these dies are!!  I had to get them all because I love them so much!  Now to find time to play with them all :)

Sentiment was accented with a WOC medium satin pearl bow.

Your next stop along the hop is the fabulous Chris' Blog!  I know she has something amazing for you to see!

New Stamps at SCACD!

Hi Friends~

Are you ready for some SCACD fun?!  If you are here from the fabulous Chris' Blog then you are in the right place!!

Today we have a cute and cuddly release to share with you all that feature Elisabeth Bell for SCACD!

Our first set is The Storybook Collection which brings us all back to those glorious childhood days when our best friend was our beloved teddy bear!  I don't know about you but I think I had a whole collection of teddy bear friends...my favorite was my big pink teddy!  We all told our secrets to our Teddy Bears, had a few misunderstandings but we always made up and were ready for new adventures to unfold.

The second set is made up of 4 adorable little girls with their fun hats that made up Sampler #6.  Each little girl is bound to make you smiles and melt your heart!

Finally, there is Sampler #7 which is a collection with a variety of cute and fun!  These 4 little girls remind us all of the simple pleasures of childhood from lollipop dreams to playing in the rain.

Here's the cutie pie I Want Candy:

Isn't she soooo sweet?  I didn't get a chance to make a sample for this release as I have been feeling under the weather lately - which is also the reason for my lack of being in blogland lately.  Am hoping to feel better soon and get back to crafty-land asap!!!

Now head over to the ultra talented Melanie's Blog for your next stop along the hop!  I know she's got something fabulous for you to see!

Then head over to the SCACD Store to get your very own new stamp collections!  For our international friends remember you can get your stamps from Quixotic Paperie.
