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,

Bloomin’ Peepsters

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 like to call them “Bloomin’ Peepsters”

Here’s another view…

They are so quick to make. The petals are made from the Blossom Punch (#125603). I used two for for each flower. Then I used three of the smallest paper wrappers from the Pop Up Posies Kit from the Spring Catalog. I cut three wooden dowels to length, sponged them all with Lucky Limeade ink to match the leaves and adhered them together using Tombow adhesive glue. The top end of the dowel was cut at an angle…leaving it with a point that was inserted into the bottom of the Peepsters.

How about the “vase”. Can you guess what it is? I looked all over my house for a small bud vase but came up empty. One thing I did find was one of those clear, plastic Christmas ornaments you see in the big box stores around the holidays. I took off the top and filled it with shredded Lucky Limeade card stock that I ran through my shredder. Isn’t that fun??

These would be so stinkin’ cute to have on your Easter dinner table. You could even use them as place cards. (Hmmm….maybe if I make enough for our whole family it will keep me from eating anymore of those little buggers!!)

Okay….Fess up….What are YOU making in your craft room to get ready for Easter and/or Spring?

I’d love to hear all about your project and I love it even more if you send photos. You never know….you might just have your project featured here on my blog.

Wishing you a positively magical day,

Ears to You…

Happy Tuesday! Happy 2nd day of Spring Break!

WOOT!

Great news from here….the snow has melted. Now if it warms up we’ll be all set for some real, fun adventures. I’ll be in full “Julie McCoy-Cruise Director” mode and making the “magic” happen.

I think I can…I think I can!

Ok…I thought you might need a touch of spring as much as I do so I thought

this card just might do the trick.

How sweet is that “ears to you” stamp?? I love the new single stamps. It’s one of those that makes for a quick and easy….down and dirty card. No fuss…no muss.

The best part is the price…$6.95! Woot!

You can see all the other single stamps by Clicking Here.

Hurry though. March 31st some of them will be going away for good.

I have several Easter treats in the works for family and friends that use this

same stamp on the bag topper. Love it!

Okay…I’m off to ~~the Ledo Deck~~ check movie times for “The Croods”.

I know you’re jealous. 🙂

Oh! Are you on Pinterest? It’s a wonderful world over there! Be sure to look me

up and dream along with me. Just search for “Suitably Stamped”…

Have a magical day!
