Oh my GOODNESS!  I have SO much I want to tell you about this project but it is SO late and I have about an hour left of my Spring Break.  🙁  Back to School in the morning.   *sniffle*
We’ve had a terrific time and I’ve gotten SO much done. 

The project I created this afternoon (and evening) is one I’ve wanted to do for the last couple of weeks.  I swear it feels like giving birth after completing one of these!!  LOL

I have had so many of you email and ask when the next Princess Punch Art Tutorial will be out and I promise….this one will be done soon but I HAD to share the project with you tonight.  I just couldn’t stand it!

So…please stay tuned for the tutorial….Until then…..

I give you….Princess Merida from “Brave”…

The blue of her dress isn’t nearly as bright in real life.  I just couldn’t get the color in the photo to show it well.  It’s actually Not Quite Navy.  Go figure….

I hope it makes you smile and I can’t wait to tell you all about it.  I had a blast creating the background for this one.  I used my Aqua Painter with Pool Party, Old Olive, Early Espresso and Not Quite Navy ink pads on Naturals Ivory card stock.  How fun!!!

Ok….I seriously have to hit the hay.  5:30 is going to be here before I know it.  🙁

I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your sweet comments and support.  You guys rock my socks!!!

Much love and stamped blessings,

Happy Saturday!

Well…the Easter Bunny is in full “prep” mode and sometimes a bunny needs a little help.
I was happy to find the “eggcellent” digital download from Stampin’ Up! just waiting for me.  I love decorating the house and our table with fun, spring treats and design and MDS makes it SO easy.

You just download…print…and VOILA!  Love it!

Wishing you a magical Saturday,

Jeepers…Creepers!  I made Bloomin’ Peepsters!!

LOL…sorry I couldn’t resist.  🙂

If you’ve read my blog for a spring season or two you know by now that I’m a HUGE fan of all things Peeps.  Bunny Peeps, Chicks Peeps, Heart Peeps, Gingerbread Man Peeps, Pumpkin Peeps… You name it….I love them!

A few years ago I stumbled upon a whole new level of awesome in the Peeps Empire called “Peepsters”.  Oh….My….Smurf!  They are are heaven wrapped in a lovely, pastel foil wrapper. YUMMM!!

Now…I was innocently minding my own business yesterday….strolling the aisles at Wal Mart and POW!  There they were!  I will tell you that having candy in my studio is never a good idea.  I sit there sketching designs and I can hear it all the way across the room calling my name.  But…how could I possibly leave those poor Peepsters there in Wal Mart without a good home? 

So after they hopped into my cart and we made it home I decided the best thing I could do was use those sweet treats in a new project.  Here’s what I came up with…

I have SO many ideas of Smash Books I’d like to make.  The first one will be “A Day In My Life” theme….then I’ll also have one for the last four months leading up to Brittany and Sam’s wedding!
How fun is THAT??  I can’t wait to get started!  If you need ideas and inspirations for themes etc. just head over and check out my “Simply Smashing” Board on Pinterest.

Hey there, Stampin’ Peeps!

I don’t know about you…but I’m ready to feel that warm spring sunshine in my bones.  I’m ready to relax in the hammock on the deck and listen to the sounds of spring.  Since it’s supposed to be in the “teens” here tomorrow morning I thought I’d better create some spring here in my stampin’ studio.

I love perusing Pinterest and I’m excited to see all the bright and cheery ideas that are popping up for Spring and Easter. (Are you dreaming along with me on Pinterest?  Come on in! The water’s fine! You can follow me “Suitably Stamped-Michelle Suit)   I’ll be sharing some new projects soon that were inspired by some that I’ve picked as favorites.  But now I want to share a fun project that I hope you’ll like.  It’s called “Spring Chicks and Place Cards”.
I recently met an awesome stamper who is a terrific friend and a brand new team member on our Trinity Design Stamping Team named Kim Fields.  Kim created some adorable little birds and I just fell in love with them.  I decided to take them and change them a little (because that’s what we do…).
Here’s what I came up with…

Aren’t they sweet?  I just sketched out the shape for the bird body and wing and transferred it to a scrap of cardboard to make a reusable template.  I then found some scraps of Designer Series Paper (this paper is from a retired suite).  You could use any design really.  You could even use card stock in your favorite spring colors and emboss them with one (or more) of the Embossing Folders.  The possibilities are endless.
The beak is punched from the Heart punch and adhered between the two layers.  The feet are made with 2 paper clips just opened up and glued inside between the front and back layers.  The eyes are actually the Basic Pearls.  I made them black by coloring them with a black Sharpie and letting them dry.  How cool is THAT??  You can make pearls in any color you’d like.  Woot!

The place card is made from a scrap of Pool Party Core’dinations card stock (#129321).  It’s embossed with the “Honeycomb” Embossing Folder (#129378).  I think that’s so stinkin’ cute!  It reminds me of chicken wire.  Right??  The Soft Suede tag and flower were made using the Pop Up Posies Designer Kit from the Spring Catalog (#131395)  It has SO many parts and pieces to create a bunch of fun projects.  Here’s a peek at what you get with the kit…

It’s just awesome.  I have a few other projects to share with you that I’ve created with my kit.  Stay tuned.
