Hello:o)  I hope your weekend was FABULOUS!!!  I was able to spend time with my brother this weekend, and it was w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l!!  He lives in Greensboro; and between his schedule and Randy's schedule, we don't get to see each other as often as we'd like.  So, this weekend was a real treat.

Today's card was created quite some time ago.  It features the adorable stamp, Jennifer.  Since I was such a tomboy as a kid, this image was right up my alley.  I colored her with Prismacolor markers and added little hints of sparkle with my Spica glitter pens.  I added the volleyball by cutting around her arm with my Exacto knife and placing it through the cut slits...to make it look as if she was carrying it under her arm.  The volleyball is one of three (baseball, basketball and volleyball) included with the stamp.  I was also able to play with more of my Magic Mesh again:o)  I didn't have any Magic Mesh in the colors to coordinate with my card, but I do have white linen.  So, I added a piece of purple card stock behind the white linen Magic Mesh and painted over both pieces with "fairy dust" Inspiration paint.  It makes the entire piece shimmer and blend in with the rest of the card.  Oh...do you see the glittery center in the flower?  It was created with my Viva Décor gloss-gel pen and some turquoise glitter by Martha Stewart.  I know you can't see it very well, but it sparkles beautifully.  I tell ya...I love the new Viva Décor products!!  You can do so much with them.  As for the card layout, it was inspired by the fab sketch designed by Suzanne for the TIOT from two weeks ago.  I told you I have had this card for a long while.

Before I go, I thought I would tell you that the Prima Cameos that have been out of stock at SCACD for some time now are back on the store shelves especially the hard to get white...the Prima Mini Roses in Coral and Pink are back too:o) If you are a Nesties fan, the Shapeabilities Peony, Dahlia and Blossom among a few others are now 25% off...this also applies to the Nesties octagons and inverted scalloped squares and circles, and there are still a few other Nesties Pendants and Borderabilities that are 35% off Susana's already low prices. If any of these are on your wish list, now would be the time to get them. Believe me, you don't want to wait too long...cuz once they're gone...they're gone. And at these prices, they aren't gonna last too long. You don't want to kick yourself later for letting this deal slip through your fingers...I have had that happen too many times to mention myself...and it stinks!

I guess I should head on out of here and get a few things done.  Thank you so much for dropping by! Your visits always have a way of making my heart smile:o)  I hope your Monday is super spectacular!!! Me and my awesomely talented DT sisters will be back tomorrow with a new TIOT challenge and our new TIOT creations.
