Summer has finally really arrived in my little part of the world and I would like to pass it on down to my pal Meahni, in South Africa!! Poor girl is freezing down there while I have the air running and it's heating up to 86 today. I know, not too bad compared to what the Texas gal are putting up with, but our summer so far has been void of any really warm weather.
Let's talk about stamps though, and get my mind outta the heat. We will talk heat later, on the Big Brother front!! woohoo!
I have gotten a small assortment of the 'tude girls going...from Stamping Bella. ALTEE 'tude is sitting so pretty on her cloud I needed to color her up. I wanted an orange dress, so I grabbed some paper from My Minds Eye, that had a hint or orange to it. How it got to the peachy tones...I'll never know but I think she turned out very summery. I colored her with my prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol. I love, LOVE the sheer little sleeves she has on her dress, and I covered them in glitter. I gave her dark hair because I always wished I had dark hair! lol {not the dirty blond roots I get going these days} The Spellbinder tags are my favorite little tags to use and I love when I can fit a little sentiment into them.
Did you catch my sketch for this friday?? Emily is extending the turn in time until midnight!! no excuses Bella fans!! hehe, show me how simple I made this one...
Give it a try and then send it on to Emily.
Ok, now for all the BB fans...I know there are a few of us out there... is Jeff not just a DOLL n' a half! OMG, seems like such a nice guy too...just like my Georgie {clooney} Then we got that Nat & Jessie couple...I get annoyed just looking at her and I am SO glad that the 'cliques' got outta there!! The game is gonna turn and it's about time. I heard that Jeff has been the leader by far for the America's Choice for the secret power! Jim has been watching the BB after Dark on Showtime and he tells me what he saw the night before and Russell & Chima had a HUGE fight! Now we know they won't be showing that because she was saying some very bad words...so I hear! ok, tonights the show...can't wait!!!!
Wow! I am loving this images Paula. They are so cute and the colors you used are really pretty. Another thing, what a wonderful idea to use the nesties tags to attach your sentiment in such an unexpected way. I do also love the machine stiching, it is so clean and to die for. You rock this card Paula!

Firstly, your card is super adorable!!
Secondly, I can't wait for BB tonight!! My friend that's staying with us reads on the online blogs and such and knows what's going to happen ahead of time. I've told her I don't want to know ahead of time, so she has to keep her lips zipped. (I don't like to know what my Christmas presents are ahead of time either. I'm pretty patient.) Anyway, I voted for Jeff. He's my favorite!! Such a sweetie pie!
Take care and enjoy the show!

THANKS, I'll have ALL the warm weather there is. I am so tired of winter!
She is just too cute. I love those little sleeves too. Definitely what I'll be wearing these days. Maybe much later in the year.
