a big honor!! and Technostamper Monday lunch sketch

Do you LOVE your cuttlebug??? i KNOW i do and so when i heard i could put in a "request" - not so much a pre-order - for the folders coming out at the end of the summer of course i jumped on it - Haylie-Jo over at Crop Stop is FABULOUS!! She is your one stop shop for all your QuicKutz, Boss Kut, Sizzix and Cuttlebug dies, embossing folders and storage sleeves AND she ships FREE to the US and Canada!!!!!!!!! Well she contacted me and would like to use my creations as examples of the versatility of the cuttlebug folders! What an honor!! i am looking forward to working with Crop Stop and creating fab new things for them! and now i NEED to buy more cuttlebug goodies - HA HA HA!!

next up is last Monday's Technostamper sketch from Mary Jo- yes i know - i am a wee bit late!! so here is the sketch:

and the card - a birthday card for my sweet (and a bit neglected) hubby:

how ADORABLE is that stamp?!?!??!?! got it from stamping bella - hubby has this huge obnoxious jeep he goes rock crawling in - well pezzy LOVES to play in it in the garage while daddy is working on it. so when i saw this one i knew i HAD to have it! the trees are a stampscape stamp and i stamped it on the back of a transparency and then alcohol inked the front in attempting a camo look. Stamp is colored using prismas and gamsol and then i used clear skittles for the headlights.

now back to work for me!

wishing you all a very Happy Mother's Day!!!
