Cruising for Chicks!

Hi All!!

Just wanted to show you my new Brentwood. I call him "Cruising for Chicks!" LOL!!! He's so adorable. I've been wanting to play with my brayer, so I use the brayer for he background, cut out Brentwood, and used pop dots to adhere him. I think he's sooo cute! Hope you like him too!!!

Brentwood Bookmark Card

I needed a card for a Bookmark card swap and decided to use Brentwood the Owl's digital download for it. Brentwood is a very happy owl and absolutely loves reading. He was so excited to find out that he was going to help me make a bookmark card!
I put Brentwood on the front and found a wonderful poem on the internet for the bookmark. Hope you like it!!! The first picture shows the card and bookmark. The second picture shows how it all goes together!!

Derby Day

Ok, here's my rendition of Derby Day. I couldn't seem to hold the camera still--must be all those mint juleps!! LOL! Or the fact that I'm still a little weak from being sick.
Anyway, my inspiration came from Melissa's comment about hats and I remember a Unity stamp I had gotten yesterday that was a hat. Since I didn't have a Brentwood drinking mint juleps but I did have one of him drinking a martini, I decided to go with it. As you can see, I feminized him a bit. But he loves to play dress-up and just couldn't resist that beeuutiful hat!!!!!
See what you think!!!!

JLO Inspiration Challenge

Friday, May 01, 2009

Guess what's happening in Kentucky this weekend?

It's DERBY WEEKEND. Today is Oaks Day, tomorrow is Derby Day.

Do you want to learn more about the 135th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville? Check it out! There is also this neat quiz...where you can test your horse lingo.

So what's the KY Derby all about? Well...obviously, there's the horses. How about all the television stars, movie stars, country music stars, hats, flowers, fashion, royalty, food...I wouldn't knowWHERE to start with the food...Derby Pie, Mint Juleps, buffet...

I'm really likin' the big flowery hats. Yep...you read Mollymoo right...big flowery hats. Check 'em out. Aren't they fun?

Back to the horses, Jess has this cute pony in her store. Check out this guy...Future Rodeo Star...but he's still young...maybe he's to be a future winner of the Run for the Roses!

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to play along with the JLO DT and create something with JLO stamps inspired by the 135th Kentucky Derby. There's no time limit. If you don't have any JLO stamps, why not check out the FREE Brentwood digi stamp?

If you upload your project to SplitCoastStampers, use keywords JLOIC01 (JessicaLynnOriginal Inspiration Challenge 01). Additional keywords for this project could be Brentwood and/or JessicaLynnOriginal.

I'm looking forward to seeing your creations!

Open that starting gate and let those creative juices flow.

Run...baby...run!

I love Baby Brentwood!

I needed to make a card that used a definition on the front, so I decided to use my Jessica Lynn Original Baby Brentwood stamp for the first time. He is so loveable that I titled this card I Love Baby Brentwood and used the definition for xoxo-hugs and kisses!!!
You can get your own Baby Brentwood stamp at www.jessicalynnoriginal.com .You can also get a free digital download of Brentwood for as long as they last!!!!
Go get him!!!

Cards for the men in our lives!

Sometimes it's difficult to make a card for a man that isn't too frilly. Well, when I found this burlap ribbon, I knew it would be perfect for a man's card. The ribbon adds just the right amount of rugged texture that most men would appreciate. Hope you like it!

Jessica Lynn Originals

I have to tell you what an experience I had last night. One of my friends on SCS (Blusky) is hostessing a swap for Jessica Lynn Original stamps. They are the cutest stamps. There are several different lines but I love her Brentwood Owls the best.
Last night, Jessica herself joined us on the swap. She's shows up occasionally. Anyway, she offered a prize to the next person who could entice someone to join the swap. Well, I went crazy posting on all my threads, and what do you know??? I WON!!!! Yeah!!! I get a journal with Jessica's original artwork on the front!!! Connie(scrappinirish), who joined got a journal too! It was awesome!!! I hardly ever win anything so it's a big deal to me!!!
So for all of you who may not know of Jessica, I challenge you to go to www.jessicanlynnoriginal.com. You will NOT leave there without wanting to buy it all!!!! Oh, and I've applied for her design team. I probably won't be good enough, but I sure wanted to try. It would be wonderful to be able to design for such quality stamps!!!! Go check it out!!!

Tax day is over!!!

Finally, tax day has come and gone and I can once again get into the parking lot of the PO! I just don't know why so many people wait until the last minute--although if I had to pay a lot, I'd probably wait too!!! LOL!!

Now that April is half way over, my mind has begun to turn to summer and the beach. Check out these 2 cards that were made for my SCS Beach swap! Aren't they awesome??? I can just hear the waves and smell the salt air!!! I'm ready for the beach!!!
