Here is my June Sketch Challenge entry at Bombshell Stamps. Hope you like it! Its perfect for summer! Cheers!

The Pin Up challenge this month is "Raise Yer Flag" as June 14th is Flag Day here in the USA. So for this challenge I decided to use the American Flag colors. Here is what I came up with. I hope you like this little card as much as I do! I used a masking technique with the Cowgirl Pin Ups set paired with a flag digital image from Bombshell . I think this is a cute card to send for the 4th! Thanks for checking in! Cheers,

Hiya! I heard this morning on the radio that there was a new perfume out for book and paper freaks. Of course I had to check it out! Paper Passion is created by Geza Schonen, Gerhard Steidl, and Wallpaper magazine, with packaging designed jointly by Karl Lagerfeld and Steidl. The perfume supposedly offers a bouquet of "freshly printed books, the best smell in the world," according to Lagerfeld. I think this is hilarious, even if it is true that we're living in a somewhat sterile world now, what with e-readers and ipads. What's even more amusing is the price point that they are asking - ready for this? $115 gets you this tiny little bottle. The packaging is cool tho. I dig the hallowed out book. Well, for $115 do you want to smell like an old musky book? Tell me what you think! :-) Cheers,

Hi All! Thanks for checking in to see what's happening! Happy Skully Appreciation Day 2012! Here's my project! I used the Alter Skulls set from Bombshell Stamps, as well as the flowers and heart from the Madonna Woodcut set. I loved this Tryptych die cut that I found! You might remember this project because I've been working on it forEVER. This project was so fun and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was challenging and so cool to see it come together!! Thanks for stopping by! Cheers,
