I'm taking a fresh start into blogging again about everything that interests me! I'm starting a new blog called The Crafting Nanni. That's what my grandkids think I am so I'm going to embrace it!<div><br /></div><div>My grandchildren make me so happy. My girls and sons-in-law thrill me with how wonderful, kind, and caring they all are. My church family feeds my soul in ways I don't get anywhere else. My girlfriends are the absolute best and make me laugh so hard I tinkle. Not gonna lie, life is really good.</div><div><br /></div><div>I love to sew, knit, papercraft, read, get lost in genealogy. I love Christmas and could leave my tree up all year long and not get tired of it. I love photography and the beach. Food trucks are the best things ever, and I'm trying to be healthier. I love Easter and each year it gives me hope.</div><div><br /></div><div>Speaking of a fresh start, what is sweeter and more refreshing than watermelon in the summertime? Nothing if you ask me! My granddaughters, Alaina and Raylee, have the cutest friend, Emmalynn, who they met at dance class. This child could and would dance her life away! We had a driveby birthday party for her and I had the perfect card to make for her. This is my version of <a href="https://www.lalalandcrafts.com/Ballerina-Marci-Rubber-Stamp_p_976.html">Ballet Marci</a> and some of the <a href="https://www.lalalandcrafts.com/Dies_c_12-5-4.html">dies</a> from <a href="https://www.lalalandcrafts.com/Club-La-La-Land-Crafts_c_35.html">Club La-La Land Crafts</a> monthly kits. This one is from March 2018 and I've used it like 6 times with ballet recitals and just for fun! </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-6fJezxFWJo6EuIW2g5sfkCAOt9DYVASbWahDgZvT-JJZomxRp1zAPkYjklTPljTccRpOwR5L8yl7t_YiXu_pxNqA23x-OYeQkJ7ro6EmuWCJQ0Dhs0wtYgmleEnHHFHFKZTShU4l6pc5/s640/Ballet+Marci+for+Emmalynn.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="597" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-6fJezxFWJo6EuIW2g5sfkCAOt9DYVASbWahDgZvT-JJZomxRp1zAPkYjklTPljTccRpOwR5L8yl7t_YiXu_pxNqA23x-OYeQkJ7ro6EmuWCJQ0Dhs0wtYgmleEnHHFHFKZTShU4l6pc5/s320/Ballet+Marci+for+Emmalynn.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Isn't she just the cutest thing?!

I needed a break from working so hard and I needed some relaxation. I've found a really wonderful group to be associated with, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/kitandclowder/?fref=nf">Kit and Clowder facebook group</a>, and absolutely love all of the inspiration and ideas Alyce Keegan is so talented and one of the best instructors and people I've ran across in such a long time! I get so much inspiration and encouragement from the facebook group that it's made it so easy to get back into coloring I took some time with the newest Pencil class I did and am so glad I did! Here are some pictures of how the class progressed for me:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Day 1: I did just the first video and this is just one of the flowers I worked up.<br />

<br />
Day 2:<br />
<br />
I really liked how the twine came out! It's the little things!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcD4n7ohGijnoBKDKsYUYKFPC5IGu4-K7XvGaWNPCpQ5ufWd3gvorbzq0ne9U0hVOJksWBh703ZRdJSfnaYAAzDXdpresee5QSYgRs335BhFAHHd_Nwx8fnV_ZjN4QKrabSjoQoJRpvxQp/s1600/Coloringconfidence+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcD4n7ohGijnoBKDKsYUYKFPC5IGu4-K7XvGaWNPCpQ5ufWd3gvorbzq0ne9U0hVOJksWBh703ZRdJSfnaYAAzDXdpresee5QSYgRs335BhFAHHd_Nwx8fnV_ZjN4QKrabSjoQoJRpvxQp/s320/Coloringconfidence+2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Day 3: Seeing how the butterfly came out really made me happy!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW9ULc2JBBafn7sVN3E7XEIIUFiOgKGTH2wQKcx7cN-xVwm1wJdUpxEha-zApUx1rU6Rkv9GP6z_MjJlp08U1newAtQVLMDPHgyzZVa-gcRin-7dsMHmNxUJrvTfxTlSUTpbSQ-liElIyf/s1600/September+Pencil+Class+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW9ULc2JBBafn7sVN3E7XEIIUFiOgKGTH2wQKcx7cN-xVwm1wJdUpxEha-zApUx1rU6Rkv9GP6z_MjJlp08U1newAtQVLMDPHgyzZVa-gcRin-7dsMHmNxUJrvTfxTlSUTpbSQ-liElIyf/s320/September+Pencil+Class+3.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Day 4: Adding these two flowers really made the picture start to pop right off the page.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXV0L6yMwMR8NOC-VxFP1so6Z2JMdsNgv4-ydIxqd3elERHnstVLvRY2VkttMGcN1UPL0YQ-fE9-MT3_HoSlSW95mIxClgsloj9DmptNB2KyjmfeZvvfbyFnkPUH5UUGg83unm-FEDi6B4/s1600/September+Pencil+Class+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="842" data-original-width="667" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXV0L6yMwMR8NOC-VxFP1so6Z2JMdsNgv4-ydIxqd3elERHnstVLvRY2VkttMGcN1UPL0YQ-fE9-MT3_HoSlSW95mIxClgsloj9DmptNB2KyjmfeZvvfbyFnkPUH5UUGg83unm-FEDi6B4/s320/September+Pencil+Class+4.jpg" width="253" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The end result: I still need to work on blending the background, but before I started being serious with these classes, I never would have even tried a background, let alone the flowers! <br />
<br />

If you've seen any of my blog posts from way back, you know flowers aren't my specialty - cute or sassy girls are. While I have a lot to learn and practice up on, I'm having more fun now than I did before! These were all done with Prismacolor Pencils and I used some Gamsol to blend the background out. I absolutely loved how this came out. More than how it came out, I totally loved the experience of just doing something for the relaxation of it. <br />

This girl is so amazing and tough! She can smack a softball like no one's business and do some serious butt kicking in karate! She's got some of the thickest hair I've ever seen, and believe me between my three girls and 4 granddaughters, I've seen and dealt with a lot! Emma is always sweet to me and always wants me to show her how to do something, knitting, crochet, and I can see us sewing together in the future. I love her to the moon and back and had to make a special card just for her. <br />

<br />
Most of the birthday cards I made for my granddaughters come from my favorite, Miss Elisabeth Bell! I simply adore her images and can never get enough of them. For Emma's card, I used lots or purples (which I don't normally use), and had such a blast coloring her up!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

True to form for me, she's got stickles all over her and the frame and flowers are done with Spellbinder dies and the Swiss Dot embossing folder from Cuttlebug addes some texture to her. Oh, and I can never forget the pearls! Oh, how I love me some pearls! <br />
<br />
For anyone who was stopped by, thank you so much! I'm back in the swing and hope to be back with some fun cards and silly stories.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

This one is <a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/winnie-sugar-sprinkles-springtime-miss-kelly-von-sweets-printable-digital-stamp-download/" target="_blank">Miss Kelly Von Sweet</a> from <a href="http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/">Polkadoodles</a> and she's colored with Tim Holtz Distressed Ink Markers. They are quickly becoming one of my favorite digital companies! I'm still working on my coloring skills because I'm so rusty, but at least I'm trying! If you really need help, I highly recommend<a href="http://www.kitandclowder.com/"> Kit and Clowder's classes</a>. They are so easy to follow and break things down to help you with your blending, light source, mixing colors, everything! </div>

I've really missed this! I've had a lot going on since my last post. I've moved back to Maine when my old employer (that I probably shouldn't have ever left!), reached out and asked what would it take for me to come back. I told them, they sent me my employees packet, and 6 weeks later I came home! That was in August, 2014 and I've not regretted it for one second. Except for during the winter when I've been freezing my butt off!!!<br />
<br />
I've got a great apartment that I love with one of my sweet friends, Wanda, living two steps from me, my youngest daughter, Nichole and her family, are back, my oldest, Jennifer and her family are still here, and my Tiffany and hers are still in Florida. I have my Hagrid here with me and life is good! <br />

As you can see, he doesn't like the cold any more than I do! <br />

I've started selling Pampered Chef because I finally have realized how much easier and more fun it is to cook when you have great products to cut with! I love everything so much I might as well sell it and pick things up as I need them. My daughter, Nichole, is my director so it's something I get to do with her and I love it!<br />

I've grown my hair out and I really need to get that color job done in the next few days!<br />
<br />
Coloring is something that I always loved to do but have totally forgotten how to. Best way to learn I've found out, is through <a href="http://www.kitandclowder.com/">Kit and Clowder</a>'s coloring classes. I signed up for their Pencil Perfecting class and am having such a great time! Here's a peek at what I've learned so far:<br />

I'be got a lot of catching up to do, but I'm so excited about sharing my new found love of learning to cook, coloring and putting some cards together, knitting, and just sharing my days and loves again. I hope there are still some people out there that may still want to see what I've created and want to hear what I yak on about. <br />
<br />
Also, any suggestions on someone who can help give me some direction on updating my blog would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and I'll be back chatting soon!<br />

Gosh, it seems like a lifetime ago since I've posted and it probably has been. Life intervenes and has a way of helping you reexamine things that have become your life and helps you put all things in perspective. I've had to do that these past few months and have made some changes, for the positive overall, in my life. But I'll share all that later. </div>

I added some stickles all over her dress, hat, stars and broom. To give the background papers some texture, I used my spider web Cuttlebug embossing folder. The swirls are from a Sizzix die and the gems are from Studio G.</div>

I just love these papers from K&Company. My other favorite thing to use on my cards has become Stampin Up's seam binding for ribbon. Love that stuff and think it totally rocks!

I just started a new job and I've been putting in a lot of hours. Excited because I'm working with scrapbooking (oh you know how I love me some paper and embellishments!) and it just doesn't get much better than that! Allie starts kindergarten next week so I need something to take up my time now. <br />
<br />
I'm glad to be sharing my Tuesday with you showing off some fun things with my stamping sisters over at <a href="http://tuesdaythrowdown.blogspot.com/">Tuesday Throwdown</a>! This week we're sponsored by <a href="http://www.tsgstamps.com/Default.asp">There She Goes Stamps</a> and they generously gave us some of their gorgeously fun sets to work with! I was so lucky and got "<a href="http://www.tsgstamps.com/Nutmeg_p/208-13.htm">Nutmeg</a>" to play with and I think she's such a doll! Our theme this week is Pastel Rainbow and I've got to tell you, I had to search hard for some pastels in my collection!<br />
<br />

This little spicy thing is colored with copics and I added some stickles to her headband, stockings and dress. The papers are from My Mind's Eye and I made the flowers using the Flower Shoppe cartridge from Cricut. The pink branches are punched from the Martha Stewart branch punch and the seam binding is from Stampin Up (one of my favorite things to make ribbons with!).<br />

That's why I'm having so much fun with our new release from <a href="http://buysassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com/">Sassy Studio Designs</a>! The release is called "80's To The Max" and Lindsay has some fabulous designs for you!<br />
<br />
This release is really special because it's a celebration of what seems to be most of our design team's birthdays and we're so lucky to have one of our designing team sisters, <a href="http://charmedstamping.blogspot.com/">Regan</a>, back for this release! Our blog hop is including the outstandingly talented members of the <a href="http://corrosivechallengesbyjanet.blogspot.com/">Corrosive Challenge</a> design team so we're really psyched about this release! <br />
<br />
Well, if you've come to my blog from my fabulous and very talented sister, <a href="http://cattsscratchingpost.blogspot.ca/">Chris's blog</a>, then you're on the right track. If not, boogie on over to the <a href="http://sassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com/">Sassy Studio Designs blog</a> and start there. I don't want you to miss a single memory from the 80's with this release! OK, so from my first paragraph, can you guess what image I got to play with? Yep, I'm presenting <a href="http://buysassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com/">Flashdance Sassy</a>! <br />

I can just feel her energy! She's colored with copics and cut out with Spellbinders. I made a center step card and used the gorgeous papers from the Black Currant paper pack from DCWV. The gems are from Studio G and the lace is from Cloud 9.<br />

Here's a view of the shirt cuffs and cuff links. I love that part of the movie where Alex is having dinner with Nick and she takes her blazer off and is sitting there at dinner with her cuffs and tuxedo bow tie on! Actually, the cuffs are just some card stock with a hole punched into the middle and some cuff links put through them! Simple, but i hope they give the effect!<br />

Since Alex is on stage so much in the movie, I hoped the lace would kind of give the effect of a stage curtain. <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">I'm so excited to get the chance to help launch this new division of digital stamps for my dear friend, Susana! We go way back and Susana's team was my very first design team and if I'm honest, I should have never left! She got me started on my road to papercrafting and the stamping world for me! I owe her so much and love her muchly! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I used Floral Oval frame and scalloped oval dies from Spellbinders to cut her out and <a href="http://www.susanascustomartandcarddesign.com/proddetail.php?prod=SLD-005">Classic Corner Dies from SCACD</a> on the corner.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">The dice are a variety of papers from the fun paper packs and the template I used was from here. It's great because the boxes can open up for goodies. Me, I'd fill it with some peanuts and chocolate! I used the <a href="http://www.susanascustomartandcarddesign.com/products.php?cat=218">Art Nouveau Embossing Folder by Couture Creations</a> on the Core'dinations paper and the dots are made with a McGill petite flower punch.</span><br />

That's our theme over at <a href="http://tuesdaythrowdown.blogspot.com/">Tuesday Throwdown</a> and we're being sponsored by the oh so popular <a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/">Saturated Canary</a>! I love their images and Krista was so generous and sweet in letting us show off some of her designs. I combined a couple of my favorite things to do - color some <a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/products/smokin-hot">Smokin Hot</a> fun chick and make a fun 3d project!<br />

This hottie is <a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/products/smokin-hot">Smokin Hot</a> and she's colored with copics and I added some Diamond Glaze to her eyes, lips, braid bead, cherry, and dripping ice cream. I added some stickles to her suit and ice cream and used Nestabilities to cut her out. The papers are from a fabulous BasicGrey paper pack, the baker's twine is from The Twinery, and the crust on the pie is from the Stampin Up scalloped edge punch. I can't take credit for the pie or cake template and I'm so sorry because I can't find the source where I got it from. I'm still looking and when I find it, I'll post the link.<br />

Here's a close up of her. Isn't she stunning? I love her ice cream cone and I like to think that her pie is a great lemon pie! Doesn't that sound refreshing?<br />

Just the thought of it kind of breaks up the year and gets me thinking about all the things I need to get done before the actual holiday gets here! This challenge over at <a href="http://elisabethbellsworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Elisabeth Bell's World</a> is themed Christmas in July. I love older things and decided to pull out one of my all time favorite Christmas paper and stamp to ink up. Hope you enjoy them!<br />
<br />

<br />
This is Star of Bethlehem from Belles n' Whistles and it's currently not available. I hope these images can come back because they're just so enchanting and I loved every single one of them. I fell in love with this stamp when it first came out. It was for our first Christmas release and gosh, I just love the serenity and innocence here.<br />

When I decided to use this one, I knew exactly the paper I wanted to use, an older paper pack from BasicGrey called Wassail. I actually won this from my dear stamping idol, <a href="http://scrapbitz.blogspot.com/">Suzanne Dean</a>, and I am very fussy about when I use it! These adorable baby dolls are colored with copics and I added some Stickles to the star, garland, and to the bear and gown of the youngest cutie pie. I did just a touch of Diamond Glaze on the ribbon in the oldest's hair. The poinsettia and Christmas ball are from Prima and the ribbon and pearls are from Cloud 9.<br />

Love that song and with the heat down here's it's kind of appropriate! Today over at <a href="http://sassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com/">Dare to Be Sassy Thursday for Sassy Studio Designs</a>, this week our challenge is Cocktail Time! There was a time in my life when Cocktail Time was a big fun for me. And don't get me wrong, I still love a good margarita now and then, but now, it's pretty rare. But with this weather, a good ice cold beer sure can be just the thing to quench the thirst! So right now, it's 5:00 somewhere!<br />

This babe is Lager Pinup Sassy and you can find her here. I colored her with copics and her mugs are covered with Diamond Glaze and Stickles! The clock is from the Tim Holtz diecut, the gorgeous papers are from Anna Griffin's The Royal Fleur paper pack and the burlap braid and pearls are from my stash.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Does it get much cuter than this? Not for me, it doesn't! I could color her and look at her forever! She's colored with copics and has Stickles on her wings and on her dress. I added some Diamond Glaze to her shoes and flowers in her hair. This gorgeous paper is from a BasicGrey stack called That's My Girl. She's got some handmade flowers and the Floral Oval frame she's cut out with are both from Spellbinders. The seam binding and the orange card stock are from Stampin Up (the card stock is from one of the older In Color packs) and the baker's twine is from The Twinery. The charm and lace are from my stash.</span><br />

Gotta love summer! It's my favorite time of the year as you all know. One thing I love about summer is all the vivid colors. Everything looks so deep and vibrant. Over at <a href="http://sassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com/">Sassy Studio Designs Dare to Be Sassy Thursday</a>, our challenge this week to everyone is to use your favorite color combination. I have several, but one of my all time favorites is blue and yellow. It seems so fresh and renewing to me. I love the french country look and that's what those colors remind me of.</div>

For my project this week, I used <a href="http://buysassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com/">Cinderella Pinup</a> and made a CD case! It was so fun and easy! I followed the directions found here . I colored the beauty with copics and added stickles all over her. These gorgeous papers are from an Echo Park paper pad that I ordered from Kim at Cutter's Creek. The flowers are from the Flower Shoppe Cricut cartridge and the swirls are from Spellbinders. I added some tulle and pearls and called it good!<br />

Here's a view of the back. The instructions call for some type of closure, but I was making this for one of Allie's little friends so I left the closure off. She's only 3 and I wanted to make it really easy for her to get it open.<br />

I know, you're asking why not Cinderella instead of Tinkerbell! I had one of the Tinkerbell's all done up and ready to go, but I spilled coffee on her and my Cinderella DVD is in storage. So there you have it! <br />

Today I want to share a cutie pop, <a href="http://www.elisabethbell.com/digital-collection/bell-horses-li-l-princess-tu-tu">Li'l Princess Tu-Tu</a>, from <a href="http://www.elisabethbell.com/digital-collection">Elisabeth Bell's Digital Collection</a>, who I have loved since the day she was created! I can't believe I've never used her, but every time I'd start to color her up, someone would have her up on the blog or have done a gorgeous coloring of her. But below is the story that got me to finally color her up!<br />
<br />

Last week I was cleaning and getting ready for Allie's 5th birthday party and I had the broom out sweeping the floor. She asked to help and I said sure (never going to turn down free labor!). I went to get the dust pan and come back into the living room and there she is riding the broom all over the floor and telling Nanni how great of a sweep her horsey is! I just knew that was my cue to get this baby on a card!<br />

Isn't she just precious? I think so! She's colored with copics and has Stickles all over her! I added some distressed ink around the edges and distressed the edges of all the paper and layers but you can't see them very well. The flowers are handmade and the branches are from Martha Stewart's punch. I added some cheese cloth and pearls and the papers are some gorgeous, fun older papers from a Debbie Mumm collection. I love them and have been hording them forever!<br />

Allie's birthday party was on Saturday and what a great time we had! But I gotta tell you, I forgot how much energy a group of kids can have! I was exhausted and it took a couple of days to recuperate! <br />
<br />
Glad to be back with another challenge over at <a href="http://tuesdaythrowdown.blogspot.com/">Tuesday Throwdown</a>! Our sponsor this week is <a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/">MyGrafico</a> and what fun under the sea images they so graciously supplied us with to have some fun creating for you! It was really fun because the theme is anything goes so you just can't go wrong! I chose to use this cute octopus from their <a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/digital-stamps/sea-animals-digital-stamps/prod_8706.html">Sea Animals</a> set because I think they rock! They used to scare me, but now I think they're so much fun, especially this cutie.<br />

I colored this cutie with copics and added stickles all over him. The papers are from BasicGrey's Shine On paper pack and I love the colors! They look so beachy to me! I embossed the yellow papers and the aqua and green chevrons with my devine swirls Cuttlebug folder. The gems are from Studio G and the ribbon is from my stash.<br />

Doesn't matter to me what time of the year it is. Being down in Florida, it is so hot that doing a theme of Christmas in July kind of cools me off a little. That's our theme this week for the <a href="http://sassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com/">Dare To Be Sassy Thursday for Sassy Studio Designs</a>. I love it because you can do some different takes on the colors. I decided to go with some lighter colors, pinks and greens!<br />

This time, Lynda challenged us to use some metal on our project. This was a stretch for me because metal is something that I don't have much of in the way of craft supplies or embellishments but I did the best I could with what I have!<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.elphinehousestore.com/#!">Daisy: Standing Tall</a> has always been one of my favorites and I thought she's be perfect for the metal sentiment I found. It says "Moments" and when I look at this cutie pie, I see her remembering or either making a moment.<br />

I colored her with copics and added some stickles to her dress, hat and flowers. I cut her out with Nestabilities and added some pearls and glass gems on metal stems. This gorgeous papers are from an Authentique paper pack called Remembrance that I got from Kim at <a href="https://www.cutterscreek.com/store/">Cutter's Creek</a>. The pearls are from Hero Arts, the ribbon is from Simplicity, and the sentiment is from Close to My Heart.<br />

This is gonna be pretty quick because we're off to the beach to celebrate my granddaughter, Allie, who turns 5 today! It's so hard to try and figure out where all the time has gone. I look at her now and she's getting ready for kindergarten, Daisy Girl Scouts, a new home, so many changes coming up for her. Then I sit and remember the first time I laid eyes on her right after she was born. As I am with all my grandchildren and my girls, I was just taken. Taken to a place I never thought my heart could go. I didn't think I had much room left in my heart after I had my children. It was so full of love for them. But I think God totally enlarges our hearts and reserves a place that we're not aware of existing because it's held for grandchildren.</div>

First off and most importantly, Happy 4th of July! I love this country and this holiday has always been so much fun. I think it's because it's during the summer, no one expects a present, you get to be casual all day long, and you can tie it into vacation. What's not to like? Today I get to really enjoy the day because I get to present a new image from Sassy Studio Designs and she's a hot beauty! This beaut is free for Thursday and Fridan and then will be on sale in the Sassy Studio Designs Store. Make sure you stop over at our <a href="http://sassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com/">Sassy Studio Design Team Blog</a> and get all the details! I don't want you to miss her! So to get the picnic going, here's Patriotic Pin Up!</div>

What a sassy thing she is! Ever since I can remember, summer is filled with bubbles. It's one of the best ways to entertain kids and adults alike! But with sassy lady also likes her bubbles but a little bit different type than you would find on a picnic!<br />

She's all colored up with Copics and covered with Stickles all of ther bubbles and tub. I sprayed the entire tag with Goosebumps to give it some texture and a look of being hot and steamy. The papers are from my favorite piece of paper ever from Graphic 45 and she's cut out and framed with Nestabilities. The pearls are from Studio G and bakers twine holds the tag on the bottle.</div>

It just seems like the best time of the year to me. The 4th is always such a fun holiday, my sister's birthday is in July as well as my granddaughter, Allie. The weather is always nice and hot and swimming, picnics, and watermelon are on the agenda. It doesn't really get much better than that for me. Oh, and I just love all the patriotism and fun colors in all tones of red, white, and blue are everywhere! This week's challenge for <a href="http://tuesdaythrowdown.blogspot.com/">Tuesday Throwdown</a> is Stars and Stripes. We're being sponsored by <a href="http://www.robynsfetish.com/">Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps</a> and they've provided us with some adorable images to use to inspire you. <br />
<br />
Based on all of the above, I chose <a href="http://robynsfetish.com/shop/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=My+Little+Cook">"My Little Cook"</a> and simply adore her!<br />

Isn't she too cute? She's colored with copics and I added some Stickles to her hat, hair ties, blouse, apron, and socks. She's cut out with my floral oval by Nestabilities and the flowers are a punch from McGill and the branches are a punch from Martha Stewart. The papers are from BasicGrey and Graphic 45 (I am trying to use all my scraps, can you tell?) and the gems are from Studio G. I added some distressed ink in Scattered Straw around the frame and the sentiment.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">When I got assigned my image for this release, I was over the moon! The only thing was, I wasn't exactly sure how to get to the moon. I love to fly and if I could have a super power, it would be to be able to fly. Well,I can't fly but Tinkerbell sure can! She can pick her own way of getting around and all it takes is a bit of pixie dust. We have to have cars with gas, or a bike or skates. Think of all the different ways we can get around. After so many years, don't you think a girl deserves to travel in style? Well, for her anniversary, I'd like to think that Peter Pan tried to make her travelling a little bit more comfortable for her. He got her a kite!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Wasn't that thoughtful of him? It's got all the modern conveniences and gadgets. She's colored with copics and her wings are covered with Stickles or pixie dust as I like to call it. her kite is made up of scraps from BasicGrey and Graphic 45. She's all decked out with a clock so she'll be able to arrive on time and the kite is sprayed with Goose Bumps to give it some texture and protection from the night air.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">If you look closely behind her, she's got some stars embossed on her background that act as her GPS! The flowers and pearls are just because a girl needs something classy when she travels!</span><br />

Here's a close up of this beauty. I love her in red, white, and blue! I think it's appropriate for this time of the year.<br />

Here's a closer look at the flowers. I combined some patriotic colors and like how they came out.<br />

Here's a view of the tail. I used some baker's twine from The Twinery, and added some handmade flowers there as well.<br />

And now you get a full view of her new wheels:<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Remember the feeling of having your wet hair in a braid or pony tail just after taking a bath and it being just about bed time? Do you recall the cool fresh night air on your skin? My sister, brother and I used to sit on the small front porch and just wait to see the air light up with that neon yellow glow as the lightening bugs lit up. When we saw them, we'd race to see who could get to them first. It always seemed that once you saw that first fire fly, they were everywhere! We'd catch them and put them in one of Mommy's canning jars and see who could collect the most bugs. What a great way to spend a summer evening! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Today we're adding another sweet, adorable digi to the <a href="http://www.elisabethbell.com/digital-collection">Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection</a> and it's a beauty! </span><br />

If you've come to my blog from my oh so talented designing sister, <a href="http://pysselbus.blogspot.com/">Linda's blog</a>, then you're on the right track. If not, please go back and start at <a href="http://inrosiesbook.blogspot.com/">Rose's blog</a>, (everyone on this team is so talented that I pinch myself every blog hop because I feel so darn lucky and honored to present with them!) at the very beginning because I'd hate for you to miss out on one single design or the chance to win this cutie pie!

This cutie pie pair is colored with copics and I addedsomestickles to the bugs and her flower in her hair and some Diamond Glaze on the jars and lanterns. The papers are from BasicGrey, the flowers from Recollections, the branches from my Martha Stewart punch, and the fence is from a Tim Holtz die. The seam binding and cheese cloth are from my stash and the pearls from Studio G.</span><br />

And no, my copic didn't go crazy or I didn't color out of the lines when I was doing my lightening bugs! I love that glow that these sweet bugs put off, almost like an aura around them, and I tried to convey the brightness and light they put off.</span><br />
