K, so remember all those ATC's I showed you and how excited I was about the contest? WELLLLL....I am a finalist!!!! And I NEED your votes! Thank you SO much to those who already voted! I would be SO AMAZINGLY THRILLED to win this, so if you are willing and able please head on over to Retro Cafe Art and cast your vote! (I'm Jennifer Ingle, just in case you didn't know that already! HA!)
The horrible thing is, that I think I also have to ask you to head over to May Arts later today when they have their post up, because I am trying out for their DT and they want people to vote, too! My orange creamsicle doll is my submission, so...feel free to head on over there later today, too! LOL!
Now...onto my Friends with Flair card, that I think I kinda love, but I sorta kinda think that maybe I shoulda considered some solid colored cardstock, but then I re-thought that and I'm not sure it would have worked, as think it may have taken a bit away from the overall design. I just don't know about these things. What do you think? Hmmm.....Well, I like the way it is, so that's good.
I used the Kokeshi Cuties Set by Samantha Walker for Unity. I completely and totally and utterly and entirely and lotsa lotsa lotsa love this set. For reals, though. I {heart} it. Lots. This is the first time I inked it up and you will be seeing LOTS more from it soon!!!! I {heart} it. Lots. Did I mention that? OH! I've added a box of Jujubes to the mix of my morning sugar rush. So, yes, that is even faster typing that you are sensing at this very moment. Oh, for the love of all things Friday!!!!
The pins & the lace are from Maya Road, the pearls are Kaiser, the flower is Prima, and the ink is Momento.
OH!!!! And I HAVE to show you the absolutely adorable happy mail that I got yesterday! I won a few giveaways from the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway day and this is one of the prizes I received! CHECK HER OUT!!!
Ummmm....adorable AND functional!!!! LOVE IT!!!! She is a Sewphie and she was made by Jean who is totally creative and came up with these adorable little critters! She holds a seam ripper, a tape measure, safety pins, needles, pins, and more!!!! Holy goodness, it's so adorable I think I'm going to DIE!!!!!
Yup. You want one. Just say'n. The good news is that you can totally buy one if you want! SERIOUS FRIDAY CUTENESS MY FRIENDS!!!!
Okay, well, that's probably enough from me today, and if you are still with me you ROCK! Just say'n. Oh...and don't forge to head on over to Retro Cafe Art and vote for me!!! Please!!!! THANK YOU!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!
Jingle, TOTALLY Out.
