Release Day for Elisabeth Bell Holiday Peekers for SCACD!!!

Hello and a very happy Friday to you!!! Today, we have something super exciting to share with you and just in time for the upcoming holidays!!! The time has come to reveal the Holiday Peekers Collection by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD Stamp Co.. This fabulous collection consists of 4 utterly adorable stamps…and if you purchase the entire collection, you will receive a wonderful savings along with three itty, bitty accessory stamps. All of these adorable stamps are NOW available for purchase at SCACD and at Quixotic Paperie for our European customers. Are you ready to see these sweeties? Stop by the blogs of my awesome SCACD DT sisters and get a peek at the latest Peekers!! You can find the blog list HERE at the SCACD Store Blog.

For my card, I am showcasing the darling Pumpkin Patch Peeker. Isn't she a cutie patootie?!? I love that she looks like she is surprising someone:o) How cute is that? It reminds me of all those "surprises" my boys used to do when they were little...how they would laugh when I got startled:o)

I kept the card very simple, and those adorable pumpkin die cuts are an oldie but goodie from my stash. I think I have had them for two or three years and never used them until now. What is wrong with me? Well, my goal is to use at least one item on each creation that has been neglected for far too long. Time to stop hoarding and start using what I have. I also pulled out my Sew Easy and used the fab Loop de Loop attachment. I thought it gave the illusion of falling leaves, and I love it as a border. Susana has ALL the Sew Easy products on sale right now...so if you ever considered checking it out, now would be the perfect time to take the plunge.

Okie doke, I think I have blabbed on enough. Please, stop by the SCACD Store Blog for all the links to my marvie DT Sisters Holiday Peeker 2011 creations. I know their beauties are going to knock your socks off and leave you filled with inspiration!!! Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Fall, y'all!!! :o)

I am also playing along with the following inspirational Challenges (:

• I Brake for Challenges - Fall Theme

Blessings and Hugs,

Carolyn

Hello!!!! My apologies for not posting in a while, but things are SUPER busy in my little corner of the world:} I hope your week has been going beautifully!!! Today, I wanted to show you a card I created using one of the new stamps from The Peekers Collection at SCACD and this sweetie is named "Daydreaming Peeker". She was created by Elisabeth Bell exclusively for SCACD Stamp Co., and isn't she a doll baby? I love her...probably because she reminds me of my niece, Savannah...she {{HEARTS}} her tutus and I {{HEART}} her!!!

 

This little darling was colored with Prismacolor markers, and the color palette was inspired by this week's Etsy Inspired Challenge. They are showcasing the lovelies available at Think Fast Designs...and I chose to use the beautiful colors in THIS gorgeous, vintage pendant. I was quite fortunate to have fallen in love with this particular necklace cuz I recently received the stunning Bo Bunny papers from the Gabrielle Collection...which has some sheets that match these colors perfectly:) BINGO! BANGO! BAM! I love it when these things simply fall into place!! Don't you? Of course, it very seldom works out so easily for me...usually, I struggle to find the "right" papers and embellies...BUT not this time:) Wahoo!! I am enjoying the moment! Heeheehee...

I don't know if you can see it in the above photo, but a coating of Creative Inspirations Paint in Fairy Dust was painted on her adorable tutu and her jewelry box...just to add a touch of sparkle. For a bit more sparkle, a teensy bit of Stickles was added to her hair accessory and the ballerina (in the jewelry box) along with hints of Viva Decor Pearl Pen to adorn the exterior of the jewelry box. What can I say....you know how I l-o-v-e my sparkle;)

Well, I think I have taken up enough of your Thursday. I hope your day is overflowing with blessings, laughter and love! Thank you SO much for dropping by! I will be back tomorrow with something fun:) Have an AWESOME day!!!!
