Respect the Boobies!

And I don't mean those stupid people out in the world!  Cancer is just a terrible, horrific, nasty thing that I hate as much as I love my sweet grandbabies.  It ravages beautiful, kind, loving people and I think it has to be destroyed.  It's affected way too many loved ones and friends of mine.  When I lived in Maine, the school that I worked at always participated in Relay for Life and working with people on that event was one of the most meaningful things I've ever been involved in.  This disease in whatever form it takes needs to be defeated and I walk in Relay for Life for those who can't.  Since I'm not involved in research, I leave that for those with the knowledge and brains to deal with, I participate when and where I can to bring attention to this thing I hate with a passion.

Saturated Canary has a beautiful free digi called Boobie Love and this is my take on it:

I've got to admit that with all the gorgeous Saturated Canary cards out there, I was a bit intimidated to put a card out there, but I just sucked it up and wanted to share my vision of this cute pixie.  I colored her with copice and added some Diamond Glaze to her eyes and lips, pink Stickles to her pink ribbon, and distressed ink around the edge.  The swirls are an old Sizzix die and the flowers are from Reflections and the ends are touched with of course, my Crystal Stickles.  Gotta blink while you're showing some love to the bobbies!  The gorgeous paper is from Making Memories Sabrina stack and the ribbon from Cloud 9.  I love the cut out Spellbinders and have been using them way too much lately!  Here she is close up:

Here is the inside.

I hope you enjoy this card and thanks for listening to me up on my soap box.  I hope everyone has a beautiful and healthy day!

Hoo loves you?

I love Valentine's Day, digi stamps, and Basic Grey Papers. The combination of the three together just puts me in stamping heaven! I had a little bit of time last week so I visited the Basic Grey Challenge blog and found the cutest digi stamps that were to be used in their challenge and went to town. I got the card done, but was having so many problems with losing my internet signal and connection that I missed joining the challenge. I asked Kim, who designed the digi images for the challenge if she minded if I still posted the card using her images and she said sure! She was so great about it and I think all of you should visit her blog. She's got fabulous cards and is going to be doing some of her own digi stamps for sale! I'll be there to help start her on her adventure!

When I saw this beauty, I knew I wanted to use my Basic Grey Bittersweet paper and the sketch is from i{heart}2stamp. I loved this sketch and plan on using it tons more! I love the sweetness of her and the dreamy look she has on her face. I remember sitting with Tiffany and Nichole while they were doing the valentines and making sure that no one in the class was missed. The far off distant look in her eyes reminds me of Tiffany trying to decide which boy would get the best valentine out of her pack. And then there was the year that Nichole decided not to give any of the boys in her class a valentine at all. That was until her dad conviced her that she needed to be nice to the boys because they always brought the best chocolate! She gave them valentines, but reluctantly! Always the rebel, my baby girl was!

I hope you enjoy her because she was such fun making!
