I love Saturated Canary! this image called Princess Honor is perfect for a card I needed to create for one of my nieces....she creates awesome stuff with the Loop thats so popular. She recently sent me some strawberries she made and I wanted to send her a special card. She and her sister are "experts" in everything to do with the Hunger Games...so I printed off the words to a song in one of them...and created this card for her...so hope she likes it - made the hair blonde to match her's...

Celebrating Suzanne's Birthday!!

Do you know this beautiful person????

Oh wait... ooops...wrong one. Sorry. Do you know THIS beautiful person????

Arrrrghhhh... that's NOT her!!!! Wait wait... let's get this right!!!! Do you know HER?????

THAT'S her!!!!!!! YES!!! The BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!!! Oh and honestly... yeah... those pics above... yep... those REALLY are her too!!! If you know Suzanne J. Dean... you KNOW this!!

Today is Suzanne's birthday and well, we ALL KNOW, Suzanne would NOT want to celebrate a birthday any other way than with her favorite country star AND a favorite sports star!!! Right???!!!

And also today, Suzanne's, Color Me Creative Design Team wanted to take a little of her time to show her how much we enjoy, appreciate and love her by hopping along to share a little birthday fun and creativity with her. Join us in wishing her that the next year is filled with even more memories and love than anyone could ever hope for!

The design team went with a "Teal/Aqua" theme today. Suzanne had mentioned her desire to "look like a mermaid"... LOL... so heck, we'll play along. (Old age is old age, peeps... just smile and say... "that's nice, honey." LOL)

I didn't go with the mermaid theme because this image from Saturated Canary must have been drawn with Suzanne in mind LOL - it just reminds me of her so much...

check out the footwork I added

 heee heeeeheeeeeeee...if you are curious about the toe - check out Suzanne's blog HERE 

She tends to have a little trouble keeping them out of harm's way

Copic/Promarker challenge at the Outlawz

Hi there!

This week the Friday's Copic/Promarker Design Team at the Outlawz challenges you to create with theme...

St Patrick's Day. Irish or Green

I went with "Green" ... don't really use Irish cards :-( wish I did because they are so cute! But instead I chose this cutie from the Saturated Canary.

It will work for almost any occasion

colored my paper flowers with Copics used in her dress, added some stickles and Viva Pearl Pen for my pearls (love that stuff)...doodled my background edges...cut out my background mat using 

Spellbinders Label 14 and placed my image under the mat... don't know where the sentiment is from - it has found its way into my odds n ends stamp box that I use when finally cleaning off my craft area...

stash designer paper, ribbon and bold green cardstock from SU.

as always, hope you get to play in our challenge!

TGIF

hugs,

Hi there!

Welcome to this week's  Friday's Copic/Promarker Design Team at the Outlawz 

 



Our theme this week is:


Bah Humbug 

in celebration of National Bah Humbug Day.

Now lets see what you have. We are thinking the Ebenezer Scrooge type. Grumpy, greedy, stingy etc. You get the picture. You must color your project with Copic/Promarker (Alcohol based markers).

Our sponsor for the month of December this month is Torico of  Birdie Brown Digital Stamps! Torico has lots of adorable digis in her Etsy shop here.  You should also check out the Birdie Brown blog here.

 

One randomly-chosen participant in this month's challenges will win 5 digi stamps from the Birdie Brown shop!

I used this cute image from Saturated Canary

sentiment is something I came up with...colored with Copics and used
 random stash design paper and ribbon.

I'm sorry I don't have more details - they were all in the original post that I did but for some reason..has disappeared into blogland...it was set to autopost last night but don't know what happened....go figure!

too much to do to worry about it (-:
