Just Us Girls - reporting for COLOR duty!

There's been kind of a theme in most of my projects, lately, and I'm happy to see that SO many of my favorite and craftiest friends are in the same mood... SPRING! {Yes, please! I'd love some!}

STAT!

Anywhoo, how 'bout a little bit of THIS to get the sunbeams working!

Oh, friends, when I gaze upon THIS color palette, I'm PRACTICALLY ready to unwrap my first box of marshmallow "peeps" for the season! And what I REALLY want to know, is, "do you like your peeps soft.... or DRIED!" If I worked with Martha Stewart perfection, I'd have mine on the drying rack by now: I like 'em CRUNCHY! Oooooooowwww! O-V-E-R-S-H-A-R-E!!!! {Sorry.}

Here's our lovely palette, for your consideration:



We were SO lucky to be sponsored by Paper Makeup Stamps this week!

Not ONLY are the images adorable!!!! But most are available in Digi & rubber!
I used this lil' darling, Felicity the Fawn! {*SWOON!*}
and these sentiments, Cute Critter Sayings {HOW perfect for lil' me!}!
I hope you'll pop on by there and check out the goods! {AND yes - they ARE!}
When you're done drooling {!} come back and share a card with us!
Katie Cotton, the lovely and talented owner, is giving away a $20.00 gift certificate!

Meanwhile - I'm just going to gush... I LOVE THIS CUTIE PIE!

{I am a sucker for sparkly eyes like these! Such darling ARTWORK!}



I, easily, stamped this sentiment around this circle, using the unmounted red rubber
to its fullest potential! I've really learned to embrace the freedom of unmounted stamps!

{I know!}

I added that cake image, because I decided to make this card in celebration of
The Shabby Tea Room's 1st BIRTHDAY BASH! {Yeah, YOU!}




I've never had a chance to partake in the fun over there, but I have SO MANY friends
who love it so, and have made me drool again, and again! So I'm FINALLY playing
along! This card just came together with sort of a birthday flavor {!} so it worked!
Happy 1st Birthday!





At least one thing is nice about this LONG winter we seem to be having here in
Northern California - there's MUCH time for crafting! Yipeeeeeeeeee!
