GAY PAREE!

I spent a month in Paris studying fashion design. So many years ago but I remember like it was yesterday. It was a trip of a lifetime and I enjoyed every minute of it but I couldn't speak a syllable of French. My daughter is now taking french in hs and I hope she gets the chance to experience Paris some day too.



This card was made for both the MOJO MONDAY Sketch and SCS INSPIRATION challenges. I used THIS SWEATER as inspiration.

SASSY SATURDAY!

Hope you all are coming down from your turkey, pumpkin pie, shopping high! I had to take a serious nap yesterday after my foray into the craziness.

Today we have a little sneak peek of SASSY SUZI from THE GREETING FARM. You may remember her from the Design a Sprout Contest, which was won by Kim Yu. Kim will be giving away her fabulous Sassy Suzie design to one lucky commenter on her BLOG.
She will be available in rubber on the first of December.

Suzi reminded me of my sister Mary Jo. When we were in high school long sweater jackets were in fashion and she wore them all the time. For some reason I also thought of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds when I saw her so I put her wandering in a bit of a psychedelic flower garden. My sister's b-day is in March so I think I will save this to send to her.

Stay tuned we have more previews coming up!

CARD STUFF
STAMP - TGF, Sassy Suzi
PAPER - DCWV, The Whimsy Stack
ETC., - Derwent inktense pencils, prisma pencils, gamsol, copics

A SWEET BLACK FRIDAY!

Hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving! I am so grateful for my family, friends, job, the whole package. We had my husbands family over for a wonderful dinner but we weren't so sure it was going to turn out that way. Our oven quite working on Monday and we had to run out to Lowes and buy one Monday night. My husband picked it up and installed it Wednesday night because they couldn't do it till Saturday. Whew! That was a close one. As my DH said, at least it didn't happen while we were cooking the turkey. Since I am out shopping Black Friday sales right now this is the perfect time to introduce Chibi grocery.


She, along with 9 others Chibis, are a Black Friday surprise available in Digi form today at TGF. They are like Pokemon, you gotta catch em all!

In honor of the Chibi's the Farm Fresh Friday challenge is to make something using your favorite sweet treat. The winner will receive their choice of 5 of the new Chibi digis!

I started out thinking Chibi grocery would make a super cute "To Do" or grocery list but I found this recipe holder at a local discount store and decided to spiff it up a bit. It not only holds spiral bound recipes but it has its own little foldable stand. I always spill stuff on my recipes and this keeps them out of the way. If you filled it with your favorite recipes it would make a nice gift for someone who likes to cook. But I am keeping this one for myself.

Check out the other Chibis on the rest of the design team member's blogs. They are Suh weet!
