My stamp set is due for release next week from MARKS FINEST PAPERS and it is called "PANSIES,PANSIES,PANSIES". I stamped in momento tuxedo black then colored with copics and matted on rich razzleberry after trimming the top corners on the focal panel and all corners on the matt.
I used some blue ribbon and topped it with a layered sentiment stamped in pacific point and matted on pacific point cs and popped up.
My dp is from DCWV called "CITRUS". I used my crop-a-dile to create 3 faux brads with pacific point cs and dimensionals.
Hope you like it, and now I am off to work, man it seems like Monday.

My girls grandfather passed away shortly after midnight Saturday morning so we had the funeral home Sunday night after we got back from a fishing R&R weekend and then funeral today so I am playing catch up since being gone along with the busy holiday weekend. This is also for Sunday's FEATURED STAMPER #225 - RosiGrld. I chose to CASE her ODBDSLC30 CARD.
I used an acrylic set that is due to be released Wednesday from SWEET N SASSY STAMPS called "OCEAN PARADISE". I cut and embossed my white cs using Nesties Label 12 then stamped the image while the nestie was still in place. I then used copics for coloring and added some stickles on the water lines and popped the focal image up on dimensionals. Hope you like it.

A Fantastic Holiday Weekend Get A Way ending with a funeral
If you missed me over at SCS in the challenges it is because I shanghied my darling hubby Saturday morning and we headed to Keaton Beach with the boat for a day of fun and sun with some fishing as well. We had a blast, went back to Perry and got a room, some fabulous dinner at Golden Coral right next door then a swim in the pool before heading to bed. A fabulous breakfast this morning and a trip home to clean up the boat and the fish.
We are tired but still smiling. Now we have to head for the funeral home tonight and then funeral tomorrow. My girls grandfather passed away just after midnight Saturday morning.

SNS Bullfrog Song
This is for today's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 323 - Fine Tune.
My mother used to sing me and my kids this song a lot.
"Bullfrog sittin' on a lily pad,
lookin' up in the sky
Lily pad broke and the frog fell in
got water all in his eyes,
Oh it aint'a gonna rain no more no more
it aint'a gonna rain no more,
how in the heck can I wash my neck
if it aint'a gonna rain no more. "
Oh the memories that brings back. Now in searching for inspiration from a blank head I went looking on cyber space. I knew this was the image I wanted to use but just could not put a song with it. I was APPAULED to see that in the top 100 billboard songs THREE songs had the "f" word in the title and 3 others were just either Hate or Vulgar. Dear God what has this world come to? Is this just common placity? How dissapointed OUR FATHER must be in his creations.
OK I am off the soapbox I just had to share that bc it truely broke my heart.
My image is from a digital set called "FENTON FORGOT" from SWEET N SASSY STAMPS DIGITAL.
My layout is from WEdnesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 333 and my color combo is Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 323 - Rich Vanilla Roses.

I have a desire to increase my stash of masculine cards and have been on a roll lately with reaching this goal.

Jaylen's 3rd Birthday Party
So here is the table before it was destroyed, LOL
Michele came from the kitchen with the candles light while we sang Happy Birthday and before she sat the cake down good he was blowing out the candles. Too Cute.
Yeah he got them all out too.
His papa smoked some chicken and we had potato salad, deviled eggs, baked beans, garlic bread and strawberry cake. Yum Yum.
We all missed his Aunt Shah and cousin Madison who left church going home so sick. Her Mom was so worried I got every 30 min updates which kept me informed of how she was doing and whether or not she was headed to the ER. She finally settled down late Sunday night.

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 322 - Blushing Celery Saffrons.
My layout is from Monday's MOJO MONDAY CHALLENGE # 190.
The blushing bride panel was embossed with Script EF in the cuttlebug after inking the positive side with blushing bride marker for Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 324 - Colored Embossing.
My image and sentiment are from MARKS FINEST PAPERS brand new acrylic set called "HERE COMES THE GRAD". I stamped the sentiment in certainly celery and the cap image in so saffron over the sentiment.
I stamped the tassel in so saffron, cut it out and popped it up attaching it to the focal panel with a large pink brad.
I love how this turned out and will be giving it to a co-worker who just finished her BSN program. She will love it

My layout is from CARD POSITIONING SYSTEM CHALLENGE # 217.

I love this lighthouse stamp set from SWEET N SASSY STAMPS called "Shining Light" and so I just had to use it for this layout since it seemed to be calling "me, pick me". LOL.
My image was stamped in momento tuxedo black then colored with copics and sponged with crumb cake.
My crumb cake panel was embossed with Candy Cane Stripes folder after inking up the positive side with cherry cobbler marker. I also used the marker to go back over the raised stripes after taking it out of the folder.

Paper: white, black, cherry cobbler, crumb cake
Ink: momento tuxedo black, cherry cobbler, crumb cake
Accessories: Candy Cane Stripes EF, Cuttlebug, brads
