J'Adore

SannaS has made something so pretty it breaks our heart! Every once in a while we get to see a card that just ooooozes fun and kitch and cute  Come and worship at the crackle dots

 

Truly using the artist's spirit this card is a nod to everything we love. I know it makes my heart beat faster. Run on over to see it up close and personal in the "heart land".

What's the buzz?

Ain't no buzz really...just bumblin' along.

CATHY!

JANE!

(check out her next one too!)

Find these products in the AmberInk shop HERE and HERE.

Today is Amber's final day @ the big show so hopefully I can get back to buzzing.

Did you spend your weekend with a fun guy?

When Amber created this stamp, I said "oh, that's nice dear"

 but in my head I was like "say what?".

It wasn't until Jen Lee made her first card as a torchbearer that I finally got it.

When my hubby and I first started dating,

one of the first jokes he told me was:
A mushroom walks into a bar.

The Bartender said, "We don't serve your kind here.

"The Mushroom said, "Why not I'm a fungi!

"Yes, this kind of cheese won me over. :-)

Now when anybody uses this stamp I crack up. 

I also realize they are much smarter than I.

That is why I chuckled this morning when I saw this:

MICHELE!

I hope Kaity-bugs boyfriend puts it in his box of treasures.

If he doesn't, I know his mother will ;)

You can take the girl off the Island...

but can you ever really get the Island out of the girl? 

Even after living/studying/working in NYC for a decade,

the influence is still there, don't cha think?

Or in true creative form check this out:

CATHY!

And don't forget about under the water...

ANNE!
Come to think of it...Manhattan is an Island too.
It's all good.

Hau'oli Po’aha.  And we all know what tomorrow is!

Hau'oli Aloha Friday  Po’alima!

Hana Hou!

Let them eat CAKE!

Strawberry birthday Cake that is! 

And of course Paula Deen  CATHY didn't do enough

by just whipping up a delicious birthday cake,

she also created a treasured box with recipes

for oldest son Matt.

Isn't that just the best gift EVER from a mom?

We couldn't be more honored that she did a little AmberInking in the process!

and

This has motivated me to use up that leftover angel food cake

and strawberries from Mother's Day.

Let me eat CAKE!

English Trifle it is!

And if you don't eat sweets, sorry, we can't help you.

Bare Naked Ladybugs and flowers x 3

The ladybugs are coming, and some of them are naked. 

AmberInk likes to give options...clothes or no clothes,

hearts or no hearts. 

When you buy your little buggy file you get

BOTH

Cute right? 

But not as cute as this...

Michele chose "au naturel". .naked see?

And if these sweet little ladies march on over to Jane's

they will each find a cute little flower waiting to shelter them from the rain.

You just can't get much happier than bare naked lady bugs

 and flowers at this time of year.

Makin' a SPLASH!

That ANNE is at it again!  She's not only running a pink torch, but she's splishin' and a splashin'.

She took this:

and this:

And made a big canon ball size splash with this:

Wouldn't that make the cutest card for someone

 working on an important venture!

I'll pretend I'm giving it to Amber.

Keep working on your show girl, cuz you are gonna make a splash.

(And thanks for letting me virtually re-gift your card Anne ;)

And one from Jen too!

Because (as Stacie reminded us) in the words of Paris Hilton...That's Hot!

In the words of Natalie Portman...

"It's time to put on the sweat pants!"  With the award season over and New Year's resolutions well behind us (if anyone caught that pun it was intended), what better way to start the week than with pie! I was inspired by what I saw on Cheryl's blog this morning.  That Kraft paper must be magic because she said the realistic look of this hot apple was easy to achieve.

CHERYL!

There are so many pie in the sky ideas on this set:

Get a closer look HERE

and don't forget the ipaper

Seems like they are flying instead of running right?
