Flowers For You

Hello Friends! Happy Hump Day!
I hope that you are having a great week. I sure am! I am busy-busy-busy. But I took yesterday for me. I didn't intend to but it worked out that way and I feel refreshed and like a new woman today. I met a friend for coffee, I got a mani and a pedi, I bought myself some new clothes...and I didn't rush through any of it. Now I feel like I can tackle all of the stuff that I have to do before leaving for CHA with a smile on my face.

Today, I have another new Riley Moose image to share with you! This is one of the 4 new images that will be released tomorrow. How adorable is Riley holding his bouquet of fresh picked flowers?! Riley's face is so adorable that I am sure he makes his sweetheart swoon without the need for flowers. :)

Just a reminder that the Riley & Company Design Team is having a blog hop starting at 10 pm EST tonight. I really hope that you will join us...I think you will find it worth your time!! ;) Start over at the Riley & Company blog where I am sure Tanya will have a great project for you.

I am going to keep this post short and sweet today. It is nearly 6 am and I haven 't gone to bed yet. :P And I still have to get some things done before doing so. That makes this a long day!

Have an Exhilarating Wednesday!!

Riley's Back!

Hello! Happy Tuesday! I am so glad that you stopped by today.

I had promised you that I would post a new Riley yesterday but I had some "technical difficulties" with my camera and my computer yesterday and was unable to get this post up. At least the other blog hop was pre-scheduled to post.

Anyhooooooo, Riley is back!! And cuter than ever! This is Birthday Riley. If you followed Riley's journey, you know that back in Nov/Dec the line of Riley stamps was sold to Tanya, who created Riley and Company. Yeah! I am so happy that Riley will continue to live on!

Yesterday was the first day of peeks for the 3 new Rileys being released on January 21st. AND there will be a Riley and Company Design Team blog hop tomorrow, January 20th starting at 10pm!!! WoooHooooo!

Meanwhile, Please be sure to check out what the rest of the Design Team have been making. If you have been a Riley Fan you will Recognize some familiar faces and be pleased to see some new ones too!

Pink Kisses

Hello! Thanks for stop by here today for the Magnolia-licious PINK Blog hop! Hopefully you started at the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog before coming here, as that is the first stop on our PINK-tastic hop today.

At the end of this blog you will be at the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog where there are Pink-a-licious prizes to be won!! but you have to make sure to go through the whole hop first.

I used some of my very favorite Magnolia images for today's card. Kissing Tilda and Kissing Edwin. They were released as Christmas stamps in 2008, but I thought they would be so adorable as Valentine stamps too. Stamped behind Tilda and Edwin in the heart is the background stamp: Old Valentine Letter. I love the romantic and vintage feel of this stamp. These are not the only Kissing Cuties or adorable Valentine images that are in stock at the Magnolia-licious store-so be sure to check it out...after you have hopped through all the design team blogs.

Do you remember that feeling of enjoying a first kiss with someone? The butterflies in your stomach...the dizzy feeling in your head? That little smile that comes across your face and the blush in your cheeks? Then that high you felt for days afterwards...
Wouldn't it be wonderful if every kiss felt that way? I wanted to capture that feeling in this card. And hopefully each of you will try capture that feeling the next time you kiss your sweetie...1st kiss or kiss number 10,000. I know...I am feeling a little sappy today...must be all the pink.

You know what? Since I am feeling so sappy how about some blog candy?! I'll give away these Martha Stewart punches! They will go perfect with the Valentine Tildas and Edwins that you purchase at Magnolia-licious!

Just leave a comment on this post by Wednesday night! (January 20th)



The next stop on today's hop is a wonderful and very talented woman, who I am happy to call my friend, Sharon! Be sure to leave her some {{comment love}} after viewing what is sure to a Perfect Pink Project!

Enjoy the rest of the hop and have a Magnificent Monday!

Hiya! Thanks for coming by today! I know that I have been lacking in my blogging lately and I truly do apologize. But I do appreciate your continued support! I have gotten your emails about being MIA and I will try real hard to be more consistent again. I do have to disclose that I will be attending CHA next week in California. I will be going with my BFF Kristen. We plan on attending the public Supershow and the trade show. If you are going to be there and you spot me please come say HI! Being from New England I am totally looking forward to the Vitamin D from the So. Cal. sunshine. I have to say I am feeling more cheery just thinking about it. Since I will be at CHA I am not sure how much blogging I will have time for. I do hope to post some pictures and maybe some sneak peeks of upcoming products!!

Motivet has another great sketch challenge for you this week. If you participate you could win up to 3 Motivet stamps of your choice!! How cool is that!? I feel so priviledged to be working with such a great company. It's hard pressed to get much cuter images than theirs! And they offer you several opportunities every week to win stamps from their blog. Be sure to stop by...you only need to comment to win!

Speaking of cute images, can you get any cuter than these hugging bunnies?! They make me smile every time I look at them. This is my first Valentine's Day card of the season. It made me feel all girly and giggly just making it. :) I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of Valentine's day. I have always thought of it as a "Hallmark Holiday". Over commercialized. But I do love to make Valentine's. It gives us the chance to indulge in our inner girly-ness. Pink, red, purple...all those hearts and frou-frou embellies. It is fun! I even use Card Scents on them. One I have is names Pink Kisses. I wonder if I can use it as a perfume? :) Maybe it will get hubby in the Valentine mode...?! Unlikely!! LOL!

On Monday, the Magnolia-licious design team will be having a blog hop! And I am pretty sure that I will be whipping out my Pink Kisses scent for this one...so be sure to drop by Monday!!
You know what else is happpening Monday? Riley Moose will be back!! Riley Moose and Company will be kicking off their first sneak peeks! WooooHoooo! So I will likely have 2 posts for you Monday. I gotta make up for missed time, I guess! LOL

I will announce the winner of last weeks 3 Clover Thursday over the weekend...I haven't gotten a chance to visit them all yet.

Have a delightful weekend!

Valentine Pandas

Hello! Thanks for coming by!


Pink Cat Studio is releasing 5 new digi images today plus 2 backgrounds! Each and every one of them are TOO CUTE! But I just thought those little pandas were darling. I wanted to start making some Valentine's for Orla to give out--when she saw the pandas, she ooohed and aaaahed too. And she is quite happy with the finished results. I haven't decided to add a "to and from" above the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment or have her do that on the back.

These little bag toppers are easy to make up. I but the cello bags in the chocolate candy making section of ACM/M's. The black piece measures 4.25 inches x 4 inches. I score it at the 2 inch mark fold it over the top of the bag and staple it all together. Decorate as you like. Easy Peasy!

Please check out what the rest of the PCS DT girls have made!!

They are so incredibly creative!!!
