I just think it's so cool that the flower I used in the background looks like it's giving the tree the highlight. As though, the star is shining so bright that it radiates... how neat is that?

So, that's my card for today, no frills scrap card!

This is one of the other cards I've put in for the Splendid Olympics. I just love this rocker girl. Of course, this reminds me of Guitar Hero, the game. The game that I trekked to 3 different stores to get for DH. With all the hype, it was the game 'to have'.

After he played it a couple of times, he realized it's not his type of game and stopped playing it. Did I mention I went to 3 different stores to find this?

No, I'm not bitter.

On to the next subject:
Nami from DeNami Designs posted 30 tips for Stampers/Crafter. All of the tips are super helpful. Some of them I already employ, but some it's a great idea that I haven't thought about. So, hope you find them helpful too!

Well, since weather turned colder, I feel better blogging about Winter related stuff.

This is a card I made a while back when I was on a Xmas kick. I had these kick that once in a while totally focus on one theme, that was when I was doing it for Xmas. For a while, it was nothing but Bdays, recently is nothing but Anya's, so you get the idea.

What I like about this card, not to toot my own horn, is that I like the texture that it's 1/2 embossed. I can't tell you how much I love my Cuttlebug... I'm actually going to 'expand' and get my nestabilities a try. Although, from what I read, I need a C mat and something to wedge in between, so I'm going to have give that a try.

This past weekend was DH and mine Anniversary. It was great fun, had Fondue and watch his hockey game. Nothing super romantic, but it worked for me. So, I'm happy w/ it. ^_^

See ya.

I'm still going thru my redux from the Pink Poison Olympics. Good news... turn out that I'm the official Bronze winner. The rules were that you can only use their stamps, and one of the participants had used other manufacturer.

So, yay me. I'm getting something out of it... Of coures, I'll take fame and glory, but hey... I'll take whatever comes my way.

I told DH that crafting finally pays off bit by bit. He busted a gut... because of course, he knows the amount of money I spent in stamping is nowhere close to what I'm getting in return. *sigh*. Little at a time, little at a time.

Last night I started to work on my class this Sunday. I'm teaching at Sew Crafty, and doing some quick and easy holiday cards. So, wish me luck!

Bling Mermaid

Wow, first off, I didn't realize my photo was so shotty. I totally cut off the left side... oy!

Secondly, this is a nice cute cheapy card that I've made. The purple & green shiny pieces are paint chips from Ralph Lauren. How cool are those, huh? (So, silly that I'm all proud of myself.)

Anyway, I wanted some waterly looking color to be the background, and plus I had already blinged out the Mermaid's hair, figured I might as well do that too.

So, this will be the most bling or blingiest mermaid under the sea! W00t!

Alright got tons to do, talk more later...

I swear, these Anya's are sooo darn cute, it doesn't matter to me what she wears, I still love them!!!!

So, this is a Rockstar Anya, which reminds me of Guitar Hero. Not that I'm any good at it, because I have very little coordination, but for people who are good at it, it seems pretty fun. Back in the day, before Guitar Hero, there was the Dance Dance Revolution (DDR), and I was very coordinate at that. But, some how, that didn't transfer to my arm... so my eye-leg coordination is good, but my eye-arm-hand coordination, not-so-good. ^o^

Anyway, back to the card, I did it as part of the Olympic contest... but I was having so much fun to make her glitter glam. I'm all of a sudden energized to glitter her someway... BUT! I had the patterned paper which is already glittered, so I felt weird to glitter the Anya more. (Yes, I'm from the school of 'less is more'). That's ok, don't worry, I'll glitter her up next one.

Well, here's my rockstar Anya... hope you enjoyed it!

So, this is one of the cards I've made for the Splendid's Olympic. But man, the winner did 170 cards, there's just no way I can do that. I might have to quit my day job to produce that many cards... that is not to go dancing or anything like that. Dang...

Anyway, this is mine, I like it. It's like the Bunny playing peek-a-boo, and then pop up w/ presents like flower or balloon. How nice would that be, someone brings you flower and balloon for no good reason. =D

Well, I'm totally pooped, we had a dance workshop all weekend long, and just running around was good enough to make me lose sleep. I know we've gained an hour, but don't think that 'kicked' in, in my body yet.

Oh well... maybe I'll get some more sleep tonight.
