sunday . . .

Today . . .

Today I am at the beach house . . .

Today I am listening to this ridiculously talented voice (she was born in 1996 - say what???) . . .

Today I am contemplating signing up for a course on how to design blogs . . .

Today I am eating a BIG bowl of low-fat ice cream (yes it is 11 am - no judging) . . .

Today I am doing alot of thinking (lots on my mind) . . .

How is your day????

Anyone looking for a sketch & a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to shopsei.com ??? Well the new one for SEI is up - LOTS of layered tags (current obsession of mine) . . .

Here's what I came up with using a mix of the Couture, Corrine, and Spooks collection . . .

Here's a close-up on my handmade tags - super easy by the way . . .

And my title work - yes I broke out the Cuttlebug people!!!!

I decided not to try out again for the 2011-2012 SEI design team - they have been absolutely wonderful to me but I think change can be a good thing sometimes . . . we shall see :) I wish everyone who tried out this go around the best of luck!!!! I still have 2 months of my term left so you will still be seeing more SEI projects & sketches for the next couple months - no worries :)

I recently ordered some of the new Authentique papers - gorgeous stuff!!!! Here is a layout I came up with using the Blissful & Uncommon collections . . .

A close-up on the title work - that cute flower is cut from the patterned paper & I love the little diction stickers they offer :)

And check out these fabulous die-cuts - lots of little pieces to layer up offered with every collection :)

So after creating this - I headed over to my LSS & had to snatch up their fab Halloween & Christmas lines!!! Gorgeous stuff - I put on my Christmas tunes & started playing with their Wonder line ASAP :) Here's what I came up with . . .

Close-up of the title work - LOVE their alphas & again with the diction stickers - couldn't resist :)

Another close-up showcasing a bunch of the fab die-cuts from this collection . . .

Alright - I'll be back next week with pics from the beach & some guest DT projects!!!

ttyl - julie :)
