Me...in a nutshell

So far I think I've only used this image once or twice. This is Euro Girl KAREN by Rick St. Dennis. Mr St Dennis has made an image for each of his DT folks. This is mine. I love how well he knows me! haha Been there done that is so totally my theme song! haha Love the "starred in the play" since I act, the "Opera" version coming soon is perfect since my daughter performs with Opera Idaho.... Yep, perfection! I decided to go a bit "retro" with this card doing a fun tie die look both with the paper and on her (my) shirt. I tore up some paper, put a slit in the tie die DP and slid the paper through it along with some glitter tulle. I added some rickrack, gems and flowers too. I punched along the edge using a Punch around the page punch and added a ribbon. Just too much fun huh? LOL

Here is a new Easter set from Create With TLC called Peter Cottontail is Coming. I used a tag and an image from the set. I added some double sided paper (scraps I had on my desk), lace (two kinds), flowers galore, cheese cloth, pearls and a stick pin I made. I colored the image using chalk.

CHECK OUT MY BLOG CANDY!

I had to pull out this fab Showgirl from Rick St.Dennis. She has so much potential with so many possibilities! I colored her skin with a Satin Promarker, her feathers, outfit, shoes makeup and hair were colored with Pearlescent chalk pencils by Pebbles. I also used some fun gel pens for her jewels. I added a lt blue feather by Bella BLVD Feathers. I also added some red glitter tulle, white lace, blue strip gems, teal and white bows, a sticko stiker (the good luck charm), some roses and one of my own stick pins. The DP is actually from a wall paper sample book I got a long time ago. So much fun!!
