Today I have a little story, a card and a funny picture! Over at The Shabby Tea Room Blog I got an honorable mention for my last entry!!! Woo hoo!!! I love that blog and the entries are always beautiful and amazing. I was honored to be mentioned! Get it...snort snort. Anyhoo...I was excited about this development. It's the card I made last week with the pretty Victorian house and the shabby flowers.
My card for today was commissioned by my best customer - TJ. She needed a new home card for her gal pal in New York. We decided on a cool retro color scheme and then the ideas started flowing. Okay - how much, seriously, can you love the PTI couches, chairs, etc.??? Oy. Three Cheers for Chairs! (This is also a Moxie Fab Card Challenge!)
This little cozy scene used SEVEN stamps! LOVE it! I used my Copics to color in the rays of light from the lamp, the photo on the wall and the vase.
This is the inside. Both the sentiment on the front and the one on the inside were printed on my computer using a font called Annual. You know I had to make one more chair!! I really enjoy paper piecing these projects. Not too much detailed cutting.
OH! Okay, one more thing. This is a totally random reference and I know ONE other person out there is gonna crack up. I am a Bravo tv junkie. I'll just admit it right now. I also have recently become a DWTS junkie. Think of these two voices: Chad from Million Dollar Listing and Evan Lysacek... Am I right?? If you are the one other person that gets that - email me! I want to be your friend! Okay - bye now.
Fabulous scene you've created, and funny picture of stamping in the car, that's dedication!

Stampin in the car Jilli Bling here... It IS possible! As a matter of fact, 8 hours in a vehicle has become a YES thought... rather than what in the heck am I gonna do thought! AND I just received one of those book mini LED lights as a b-day gift! Guess who will be stampin in the dark now too! Oh my!
Love the chairs... love how your copics color on craft paper too!

How cool is this? Love the houndstooth and that your central focus is kraft paper. Very fun and funky!
