Honey and Latte Sue.

Hi there!!

Today, I'm doing reviews on two Roberto's Amigas stamps over at C.C. Designs: Honey and Latte Sue.

I personally love how these images look like they're in the 30s, don't you? They reflect my age and a whole lot of crafters out there, hee hee hee!
The cards are done up in Fall colors. I've been doing that a lot lately. Wishful thinking, I guess. It's still in the '80s here in California. I wish it'd turn a bit cooler already :).

See you folks!!

Good Morning, Sue!

Hello!

Am still on a clean and simple kick (well, at least CAS for me :)), so the card I'm showing you today is pretty single-layered. Here's Good Morning Sue's preview from C.C. Design's Roberto's Amigas. Isn't she so much fun?? She makes me laugh!! She and the other Roberto's Rascals / Amigas will be available this Thursday, July 3 at 12 PM EST.

Sue is totally funny because she's so realistic and relatable! Don't we all look like this in the morning?

I wanted a scenic card so I found these Love, Elsie frames in my stash. I tend to go for what is easy and fast (hey, working mama of two over here! LOL) so I just stuck these cute Kawaii post-its of these Hawaiian girls -- they were the perfect size!

I also love that wood washi tape! It seems like real wood! I forgot where I got it from -- Studio calico maybe??

And I love her pajamas. Was trying to get them to look silky, hahaha!

Enjoy today, folks!!

Roberto's Amiga - Margarita Time.

Happy Hump Day, peeps!!

Today, my card for you is a review on the C.C. Designs' June release of Roberto's Amigas. These ladies are new from this line, and I absolutely think they're hilarious. I mean so far I've only seen cutes-y stamps aka young-looking stamps from all of my favorite stamp brands. Or the ones 'over the hill' such as a couple of senior stamps (usually labeled as the grandparents). I've also found those funny women at Art Impressions.

But I had longed for stamps that symbolized women in their mid-30s to early '40s (I'm in the mid-30s category). That's the average looking woman, right? A little bit wider, a little cushion in the tushie area...LOL... comfy shoes, functional yet stylish bag, with cute hair to boot! And a fruity cocktail or wine while relaxing!!

I absolutely had to choose Margarita Time when asked to pick our stamps for June!

And that sentiment is hilarious!!! It's from C.C.Designs as well -- Rumor Has it by Amy R. You all should check out what the other ones say!!

Anyway, I wanted this card to portray getting together with your girlfriends once or twice a month. You know, when the life of a working momma of three, while busy keeping up the house and making your husband happy actually allows a girls' night out. :) :) :)

And when you're in your mid-thirties, you speak your mind when your friend comes to you with a problem, am I right?? Haha! I paired this sassy stamp combo with Hey, Kid from Pink Paislee.

Keep it fab, folks!
