Make a pretty creation!!

Here is what I created:

I decided to use my Prima

watercolors--classics.

I absolutely adore them!

I had my image printed on watercolor paper, 

and kept it pretty simple.

The images are already breathtaking

as it is--why overdo it?

So, that is it for me for now!

And since this week's challenge is to use the scraps, 

I used my beloved scraps from my last challenge

And I used one of my new Crazy Cats stamps...

(I had missed a dear friend's birthday...oops--

and she is a cat lover, so win-win, right?)

Papers are from paper Temptress.

Cat is stamped with Ranger Archival black Ink, 

and painted with Prima Watercolors.

So, put those scraps to use, and 

make something crafty!

Until next time, friends.

She won't settle for ordinary

Happy Saturday!

What a beautiful day!

It has been an exhausting week--

I have been laid out with a

nasty virus, and had an asthma

attack that freaked me out. It

had been years, and I seriously mean years, 

since I had experienced one, and

I was totally unprepared for it.

I am still feeling the effects, but am 

doing much better now.

Thank goodness!

Anyways, onwards!

This week's challenge over on the

Hiding In My Craft Room blog

is: HIMCR #243 - Blending

And this week's sponsor:

 Lacy Sunshine!

The giveaway is 3 Lacy Sunshine images!

The Design Team were given 

a choice to choose their own images.

Let me say, quite a challenge---

so many darn cute ones!

I chose Mermella Steampunk Siren.

She is so gorgeous!

And this is what I created:

I used my new Prima watercolor confections paints--

they are so yummy...

Work like butter, I tell you.

I didn't really follow the lines, I just blended and blended 

with my paints...I like how

she turned out! :)

The sentiment is from a Prima stamp. 

The papers are from Graphic 45 

'Steampunk Spells' collection, 

and the gears chipboard are from 

Creative Embellishments.

I added copper Stickles glitter glue

in the center of the gears.

I also added a bit of silver and gold 

permanent marker along some of my

girl's design.

And that is it for me for today!

I hope to see some of your creations--

be sure to link up!

Until next time, mes amies, 

Be safe. Get crafty!

CHA Wishlist...Part 1

Happy Sunday!

I hope you are enjoying this gorgeous day, 

even though it is rainy and mild here in our little

part of this wonderful world!

As many of crafty friends new, 

CHA (Craft & Hobby Association)

is happening this weekend

 in Anaheim, California, 

where various artsy fartsy companies/people

meet to look and showcase their products/works.

(I will be there one day!lol)

These past couple of weeks have

seen some new releases from 

many crafty companies.

I have oohed and aaahed, 

and drooled, and sadly, shook

my head at some of the releases.. lol

Even though Christmas has just ended, 

this show is kinda an exception. Am I right??

So, I though I would share with you all

some of my absolute favorites from the past

couple of weeks:

First up, Bella Blvd.

I will be honest, I was never really a fan of this company.

Then, a new collection was released last year, 

Illustrated Faith.

And I was hooked!!!

Bella Blvd. came out with a brand new

collection, She Blooms.

Beautiful colors!

And Bella Blvd has also extended products to 

the ever-growing popular

Illustrated Faith line:

All the basics for bible journaling:

alphabet stickers, numbers, cute icons,

die cut shapes, bible verse prompts, 

enamel hearts, washi tape!!!, 

cute clips, and more....swoon!

Yeppers, must haves for me!

Another product that has caught my eye

is from the master, Tim Holtz.

From the Idealogy, to alterations, Stampers Anonymous, 

whoa!

The first thing that caught my eye, 

was the absolute amazing stamp set from

Stampers Anonymous.

First there were Crazy Birds (love!!), 

and there will be Crazy Cats!!

EEEEKK!!

So excited!

Designed by designer extradoinaire, Kristine Werner, 

who I think was the perfect choice to design this set.

Must have for me!!

Another must have:

THIS!

Just like the Distress marker, but in crayon form!

Ummm....YES!!!

And this. New Thinlets from Sizzix:

When I saw this, I 

automatically thought that these would be

perfect for Project Life!!

Onwards!

Pinkfresh has come out with more goodies.

Awesome stamp sets, which

I have drooled over.

One appealed to me tremendously, as

it seems it was made for me! 

4 x 6 stamp set

Bibliophile by Kaitlin Sheaffer for Pinkfresh Studio

Again, another perfect set for Project Life!

And then there is Prima.

I really love their products.

Especially Julie Nutting!!

And she has come out with more dolls!

I have quite a few, and between myself and my daughter, 

they get played with...quite a bit! lol.

SWOON!!!

(I haven't shown these to my little one, yet, as

she will be too excited, and wanting them right away!lol)

Annnnddd.....

Prima has also come out with more watercolor

products!!!

Can I have a woot woot??!!

(In case you did not know, I am a watercolor fanatic!!)

I think I want every single item here!

seriously!

I need to talk to hubby. lol

So, I will leave it here for now!

There are a few more items I want to share with you!

What has caught your eye??

Until next time, mes amies!

Be safe. Get crafty!
