A Little Help From My Friends


OMGosh!!! It's almost October!!!! I'm so freakin excited!!! AND we're just days away from the Little Hop of Horrors!!! I've been working in my laboratory.... uh, I mean craft room all week planning, preparing and creating not only for the hop, but for Halloween... I'M SO EARLY!!! I'm having trouble sleeping at night with all the spooktacular delights dancing in my head!
So today, here's my "The Right Shoe Can Change A Girl's Life!" This one turned out so totally adorable!!! About a week ago, my new friend Krista of Red Car Productions made me the super cute witch's shoe that is featured in this card during her Copic airbrushing demonstration. The witch's shoe is actually a pair of witch's shoe dies made by Spellbinders... rather appropriate name huh?!? Anyway, when I left, I told her that I WOULD use them. Isn't this just fabulous?!? I NEED that airbrush system!!!
Anyway, I just HAD to show you all this super cute card. I SO WISH this was a sneak peek at my blog hop project... but you will all just have to wait till Saturday (I just hope I can wait that long!). Have a great one!
PS. I have not forgotten about the promised Book Tutorial. I just got sidetracked with, well, HALLOWEEN! hahahahahahaha! I will have it posted soon though. I promise that you won't have to wait until Thanksgiving! :)

Yes...you "need" the airbrush system ;) And it looks like you "need" to show us what you did with the other shoe :) It was great getting to know you better today. Don't get sucked in to the blog vortex again...get some sleep! LOL!!!

Past 7 Days....

Feeling Empowered

Yep... I've FINALLY discovered the MAGIC that is the Google Calendar!!!  I had NO IDEA that it actually synced to my phone!!!!  FREEDOM!  SWEET FREEDOM! Now for those of you who are NOT schedulers, let me tell you why schedules are so important and why this discovery, in particular, is so empowering to me. Schedules free your mind - when you get your thoughts out of your head and placed into some kind of order (or plan) on paper, your brain is not taxed with the job of remembering. Plans allow you to reach your goals quickly and efficiently - a plan maps out the best course to get you from point A to point B.  For example:  you know that you have to meet Judy on the west side of town for lunch, then be on the east side to pick up paperwork at the office, west side again to pick up flowers at the florist and finally north to pick up dry cleaning.  Well, planning your day allows your brain to go on auto-pilot.  All it has to do is f...

My Seriously Yummy Concoction!!

The Magic Bullet has yet to fail me!!! I LOVE it! I whipped up this ultra healthy mousse in seconds, and the mint came straight from the garden. Yay! Here's how I made it. Danielle's Heavenly Mousse 1 small container of low fat vanilla yogurt (I prefer Yoplait Light) 2 heaping tablespoons of Knudson Free cottage cheese 1 tablespoon of Amaretto flavored Agave Nectar 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon 2-3 peeled and pitted organic figs (optional) In Magic Bullet container combine above ingredients. Attach flat whipping blade and mix until mousse has formed (about 45 seconds). That's it. If you are using figs (which will create a thicker mouse after it sets in the fridge and will require longer blending time), be sure that they are room temperature before blending. Blend with chopping blade, remove and attach flat whipping blade until smooth. Allow to set in fridge at least 30 minutes before serving. This thing is quick and incredibly yummy! Here is the pic of the ingredients I used. Cl...

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...
