Jimminy Cricket!!...its been a month!

ALAS......another month has passed since my last post...WITW!!???

BUT!!....I have been uber bizzzy.....creating some new items for my sweet Canadian customer ( and friend for life) Connie....using bits and bobs from my stash...along with my awesome haul from Laura @ LillyBellesPaperie ......Yep...I should have taken a picture of all the awesome product, but, I was sooooo excited to jump in and create on my day off!....AND BOY HOWDY..did I ever have a blast!
FYI....for real...go visit her Esty shop....GREAT product...GREAT service!!

So...here is a card I created using LillyBelles  Color-Couture Cardstock,,,awesome quality....AND matching envies!!


I created my own paperdoll...cut from vintage book paper(aka recycled book from thrift store)...and then dressed her in October Afternoon Sidewalks paper pad....can you say yummy?!
I used a Martha punch, a vellum sticker from my stash...some trims and embellies and buttons all from.....yep!...LBP!!!
I used the same basic technique in paperpiecing with the gift tags:

I will be putting these all in my etsy shop StudioBeeCreations tonight....these cuties are OOAK...however...I can do similar designs!!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST....(it has been a month of zero posts!)...here is a canvas I created using said paperdolls....LBP product....and techniques from ScarletLime Christy Thomlinson...AND Julie FeiFan Balzer Balzer designs....OMG...her stencils ROCK!!!!

This  saying is bittersweet....My Mother would always tell me this quote....when I was not behaving well....she passed away 10 years ago this month...and I miss her ......

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo....you just never know...who shapes your creativity.....
But, I for one....am LOVEEEEEEEEEin what I have!

Creative blessings,
Debbie
