Tu Tu Adorable *Digital Doodles*


The title of this is borrowed from my friend Barb G's lo Tu Tu Cute. As soon as I saw that title I knew I wanted to scrap this pic of my little granddaughter in this tutu. I also knew that Kathy Martin's Flutter Bug digi stamp would be a perfect pairing with that pic. I just love that you can customize the colors and size for any project you want. They are also tu tu adorable. Have a fantabulous day all!!!

Fur-Ever Friends *Digital Doodles + 2S4Y*


Hi all!! Time to showcase another one of Kathy Martin's ohhhhhhhh sooooooooo cute digital stamps. This one is "Fur-Ever" Friends and is extra special because it is based on Kathy's own little fur babies. As always it is available at
2Peasinabucket.com for only 99 cents. I loved it so much I printed it out twice for this card. This card also fits the 2S4Y sketch when you flip the sketch. They always have the best sketches and I so love to play along. Hope you are enjoying this day with friends...furry or otherwise!

Lovin' My Life with GCD Studios**tutorial included**

I'm back again with another project from GCD Studios! This one includes a tutorial.
I just celebrated my 49th birthday a couple of days ago and am just so lovin' the life the good Lord has blessed me with. I wanted to celebrate it with this lo:

I just LOVE the happy look these GCD Studios products bring because it is exactly how I feel about my life! Now I would like to share how the flowers on this layout were made. They are sooooooo easy and you don't have to look any farther than your first aid kit and pantry to create them. Yes, you read that right...your first aid kit and your pantry. Those flowers are created from.........................gauze!
It makes such a perfectly light and airy and texturely fabulous flower. You can leave them white if you like or you can dye them to create gorgeous yummy colors. This is where the pantry part comes in. I dyed some with Kool-Aid and some with food coloring. It's kinda like dying Easter eggs. You can also use alcohol ink. Want to know how?!! Well, here is your tutorial:









Look at all the loveliness you can create:

Here are some close-ups:


I hope you all feel like celebrating your life today! Hugs, Cheryl
