LOVE IT! CB is 7x6.75. a nice tall, thin one! so this is my favorite this week!
recipe:
paper- CB is WWhite. used textured SU Ppie on bottom
ink- SU Ccelery, Ppink, Ppie, Oolive, and versamark, silver is "colorbox"
stamps- "cheers" from penguin pants (this is a 2 dstep stamping set), and little starburst if from "judith"
accessories- stamped glasses in versamark then heat embossed w/ glassy glaze, some A$1 michaels ribbon

love the simplicity and lack of layers! and all those wonderful colors! these colors are much more 'me' than those bold brights were!

ink- Ppink, versamark, & stazon black. colored image w/ sakura souffle pens in bright colors.
stamps- "cosmobella", & "cheers" by penguin pants (this is a great set! i got this at the stamp show a few weeks ago!)
accessories- bright blue eyelets (used crop-o-dile to set), corner rounder, silk flower, wide green satin ribbon, and narrow hot pink ribbon.

wedding invite

this is for my brothers wedding invitations. card is 5x7.
recipe:
paper- CB is Vvanilla, peach vellum
ink- SU Ssaffron & versarmark
stamps- SU "wonderful words", "baroque motifs", and "so swirly" jumbo wheel
accessories- used handmade peachy paper shards (tore off very small bits at a time) and glued to edge of torn vellum. stamped sentiment in colored in, then again in versamark and heat embossed w/ glassy glaze enamel.

so it's been almost a month since my last post! EEK! well, i've kinda made up for it and have a few posts for ya! thanks for being patient, ladies! and thanks for letting me know that you miss hearing from me! it feels good to feel wanted!
