If only I could...

jump for joy like FABBY!!! If I tried I am sure my hubby would then be loading me into the car for a trip to the hospital with some bizarre injury; some would say I am a bit of a klutz.


I am SO excited my BFF Karen booked a ticket to come for a visit!!! Yep I am already trying to think of fab things to do while she is here; when I visited her in October we went to see Madonna; nothing that exciting coming up here BUT at least we will get to hang out for a WEEK!! Really our poor hubby's will now have to listen to constant chatter about the visit - at least they are both good sports and support our need to stamp and fly to see each other for at least a week a few times a year - that's what they get for moving us away from each other!


For this card I used Amy R's sketch 54 - it was perfect for the fabby image and I loved the design - thanks Amy for the inspiration!


I inked Fabby with black memeto ink and stamped her on Gina K 80lb cardstock and I coloured her with copics to match the fab designer paper I found; it has both pumpkin & pinks mine & Karen's favs so it was a easy fit :) To give Fabby's skirt a little shimmer I added bella liquid water glitter and for her glasses I used a little crystal effects for the lenses.


The DS paper is from WeR memory makers & it's called Nonsense Ding-Dong. The base of the card is SU's pumpkin pie, and I layered the DS paper on SU's Baja Breeze then the strip is Kiwi Kiss embossed with cuttlebugs bloom dots, then sanded to give it the rough effect that is on the edges of the DS paper.


I used my new nesties curved rectangles to cut Fabby and she is layered on SU's Rose Red. I added pumpkin ribbon. The circles are SU's Baja Breeze and the flowers are put on with the Kajinker - a very cool tool that I bought in August before moving from Stamping Bella & FINALLY took it out of it's packaging! It is a tagger system & there are a lot of great shapes - for this I used small flowers.


Thanks for stopping by - have a great Sunday
