I ❤ College

Hello my friends! Today we loaded up the car and sent my first born off to start her second year of college.  And I gotta say... saying good-bye to her, in my driveway this morning was a whole heck of a lot easier then leaving her on the steps of the dorm a year ago.

Not saying that I didn't shed a few tears, just didn't do the whole uncontrollable bawling that doesn't stop until you immerse yourself completely in a bowl of  Dairy Queen's Brownie Earthquake!  I'm proud to say that this year, I immersed myself in my scraproom instead!  A lot less calories, and a far more constructive way to console myself!  I finished two minis, and they are ready to ship out...
Tattered Time Paper Pad by DCWV
Toilet Paper Roll Mini
Moulin Rouge by Prima
Brown Paper Bag Mini Album

Elizabeth, the lovely lady I made them for...

As always, I am so grateful you stopped by!  Hope you'll be back soon!
Huggles, Yvonne ❤❤❤

Cards for Carolina ❤

A few months ago, I did a one-on-one swap with a fellow YouTuber, Patricia @ tubeyoumaster1.  She is an awesome artist, and y'all should definitely check her out.  I'm always impressed with her clever use of everyday items, and the beauty she see and brings to fruition.  And on top of all that she's terribly sweet, and tremendously generous!

Anyhoo, the point of the whole bit of rambling, is that through that exchange I was blessed to have met Carolina @ CarolinaCreations.  Another lovely sweetheart of a lady!  We decided that she and I should also do a one-on-one swap.  We agreed on a three card swap, and so I want to share what I created for Dulce Carolina (hehe):

For Card #1 I used the following:
K&Co. Cut-N-Paste paper pad
TGF stamp "Flirty Anya"
Copic Coloring
Skin: E000, E00, E11, E21, R20
Hair: C3, C5, C9
Dress: BG10, BG15, BG18
Senti is $1 Stamp for Michael's


Card #2
K&Co Tim Coffey's Tuscan Sunflowers Papers
Fairy image from a Google search
Copic Coloring
Hair: E50, E21, E31
Skin: E000, E00, E11, E21
Wings&Flowers: YR61, YR65, YR68
Foliage: YG93, YG95, YG97
Dress: Y11, Y15, Y18

Card#3
Luxe Designs Paper "Ski Parka" Collection
Googled Image Fairy (she might be a Disney Fairy)
Another AWESOME sentiment from
Diamond Stickles
Copic Coloring
Skin: E000, E00, E11, E21
Hair, Wings, Outfit: BG10, BG15, BG18

And since I was in the "card-making" mood... I joined my big sis Yvette @ DaileyScrapper in an all day "card-making" fest! LOL!  Here is what we made:


Well my friends, thanks so much for stopping by, and leaving such awesome comments!

TGIF & Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge #31

http://tickledpinkstampschallenges.blogspot.com/
Hola my friends! TGIF, right???  So it's been a super busy week... came back from NYC; we went to hang out with "la familia," AND to finally see THE LION KING on Broadway!!!  It was AWESOME, we enjoyed it immensely!


When we returned from the city, we decided to take a quick day trip to Virginia Beach.  Hubby had to work, so I took my momma instead : )


Next on our list of "things to do" was to get my daughter ready for her second year of college.  She and her room-mates are moving out of the dorms this year, so there was much shopping to be done.

Finally, I was able to spend a little quality time in the SCRAPROOM!  I worked on some more cards for the swap I mentioned in my last post... but they're not quite ready yet, plus I don't want the recipients to see them. I'll just post those once delivered ;P

I did however, complete my GDT project for PaperCrafting Journey (can't post that yet either.)

Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge #30

This week's challenge at my favorite Pink place is "SHAPED CARD NOT A SQUARE"  I finally got the TH clock die, so I decided to go with ROUND.  I've also been meaning to break out one of my old favorite paper pads... Good Ole' G45's Steampunk Debutante (oh so lovely paper!), and I've been playing with some of the newer Lindy's Stamp Gang sets (Drink Me Silly's Fuzzy Navel & My Mojito Green)... threw it all together and "TaDaaaa"
This is what I've got...
