Tennis Bella

I love playing tennis. It's another of my addictions. It's time for tennis season to start again and I'm so ready. So in celebration of the new season I just had to create some cards for my team mates. So here is my Tennis Bella for this season. I love looking at Paula's blog over at paulatracy66.typepad.com she is so talented at coloring and creating her cards. Not long ago I asked her for some techniques and she shared a background shading tech on her blog that really helped me out. So here is my try at shading. I colored Tennis Bella with my Stampin' Write Markers. I did the ground and blue background shading with my Prisma Color Pencils along with some Sansodor for blending. I absolutely love my Stampin' Up! Textured Impressions folders. I used Petals-A-Plenty on the Bashful Blue background layer. Well There u go!!

Smocked Bathing Suit

I just had to show you this little smocked bathing suit I made over the summer. Ok, I just love color. The lime green and fushia is a combination that just makes me happy!

Birthday Party Favors

A friend of mine's grandson was having his birthday party and we just had to make some Party Favors. How quick and easy!

A Bit of Sewing & Beading

I created this with some beautiful ribbon. A fun version of a chatelaine. The beading is a must. Luv the bling.

Beautiful Bluebonnets

I just had to share a pict with you that I took a couple of months back when traveling to Hot Springs. My sister and I took a road trip and loved seeing the wildflowers while traveling thru Texas. The picture taker I am, I insisted we stop on the side of the road and run through the flowers. I just couldn't miss this picture taking opportunity! So here I am in the Beautiful Bluebonnets. Being the Texas born and raised girl that I am, I have always loved Bluebonnets. Njoy

"Thought For the Day"

05.26.2010
Today I implore you to come up and take a breath. Take a deep breath and think about the things that have held you back. Take a step towards conquering the very things that have hindered you and stole from you. You are very special and should have the very peace that passes all understanding. It is for you to have. Grasp the very dreams that you want to fulfill. Create the very visions that you c. Take time to face the thoughts that hold you back and embrace the thoughts of creativity and freedom. Loose the hinderances in you mind “LET THEM GO”and embrace the positive. Find your place of freedom and inhabit it. Have a Great Day!

First Communion Dress

I had to share a pict of my latest heirloom sewing garment. I njoy creating such a special dress for such a beautiful and special little girl for such a very special event in her life. Isn't she so pretty. A little ANGEL.
