Celebrate!

We had a lovely celebration last night...{belated} Congrats to JW for graduating from Seattle University's School of Law!!! We pooled our funds to buy JW a spa certificate...what girl wouldn't need a spa appointment after going to law school full time and working full time???

What is better than being surrounded by great friends and delish comfort food?

Crown ala Making Memories

This is a crown I made for a new stamping friend {Hi J!!}. A girl can never have too many stamping buddies. I met her through Splitcoaststampers {love that place!}.

I love this line of Making Memories...I didn't realize the name until I looked at it today so that I could actually post it...Making Memories Simply Fabulous Collection-Brooke. It made me chuckle since I think that "Fabulous" is one of my favorite words to use!

Wild Tres Chic

I simply love the Stampin' Up "in-color" Wild Wasabi. I'm slowly trying to accumulate the paper before they retire the color. This is a card that I've made for a very dear friend. I'm a super lucky girl to have such FABulous friends and I wanted to let this gal know how much I appreciate her.

A Magical Lizzie Card...

I was asked to design invites for a "Princess Party". This is a treat for me since Princess Parties are long gone in my household. The A Muse Lizzie image was one that I recently adopted via the buy/sell/trade board on Splitcoaststampers. I used the aquapainter on her dress so that it matches the Wasabi cardstock. I glitzed her dress up with my Quickie Glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds. Her crown, wand and shoes were colored in with Sakura glitter pens....what is a princess without glitter?! The "a MAGICAL day" oval has been edged with a Sakura stardust pen.
