Hey, Loverboy!

I love romance and all the things that go into it. To me there's nothing sassier than hanging out on a big, comfy bed, looking fabulous and yakking away to your loved ones. Lillette is such a diva sitting there, all curled up and I can only imagine the conversation she's having! I do remember those days and they were good!

Susana from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design is having a promotion over at our PCP group featuring a signed Rubber Romance card from Robyn, the Owner/Illustrator of Rubber Romance! Make sure you stop over and get in on the fun! Also, Susana is going to be bringing in a new Illustrator and stamp line next week! These stamps are so much fun and so fresh. I can't wait to start giving you a sneak peek at them bit by bit! Don't miss out on this excitement! You could win a $25 gift card to store & a handcolored image too. The winner will be picked randomly.

Lillette is from Rubber Romance and you can pick her and most of the embellishments on this card from Susana at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. I paper-pieced the comforter and pillows with double sided mulberry paper from The Paper Company and colored her with copics. Her brass bed was colored with my spica glitter pen and the babules add a bit of class to her sass.

I loved her since I saw her and thought she was perfect for Rubber Romance and Valentine's Day! I hope you all put a little sass in your life!

Card Ingredients: Lillette by Rubber Romance, Bella Baubles in Oyster, Ruby Slippers Glitter Dots, Heirloom Glitter Hearts by Dress It Up, Gold Atyou Spica Glitter Pen, paper doilies, beaded paper from The Paper Company, double sided mulberry paper, copics,

Julia and Paper Piecing

Reading has always been a passion of mine. I'll read anything. Be it a toothpaste box, great book, The Good Book, blogs, newspapers, magazines. You name it and I'll read it. I've had the urge to re-read the Harry Potter series for, well, we won't go into what time around it is for me and Harry!

One of our talented design team members, Danni, from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design, did a tutorial on paper piecing. You can see it at the Store's blog, Follow Your Heart. Since it's something I haven't done before, I thought I'd give it a try. Julia from Rubber Romance was perfect to paper piece. The papers are from the Abstract Pack from Dovecraft, only available in the states from Susana! I followed Danni's tutorial and I think she came out fabulous! And other than Julia's skin the the floor and the distressed wall behind her, everything on the front of the card was paper pieced! I used the sketch from Stamping Vacation's Just Sketchy sketch and loved it. Thanks, Danni, for such a fun stamping evening!

Now, I'm off to start Chapter 1 of Book 1 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone!
