Happy, happy, joy. joy!

Yay... I am in cloud 9. Why?? Cause my goodies prizes from Gallery Idol finally arrived late afternoon yesterday. Aaahhhh.... I practically grab the box from hubby and ran upstairs to my scrap room. I was so giddy and excited.

And peeps, if you have followed me for a while, you know I looooveeee pretty papers and colors. If there's such a thing as paper addiction high, that's how I felt when I went through the goodies. There's stuff from October Afternoon, Cosmo Crickets, Papertrey Ink, magazines, etc. I was so happy I started to dance & bust the move! LOL. After I calmed down a bit, hubby took my picture and the goodies.

Here's my pic holding the certifcate from Paper Craft and trying to smile normal instead of my goofy grin and pic of the stash. Just have to share my excitement. Pretty papers come to mama!! :)

 

Papers, stickers, stamps, dies, pin, sigh.... happy, happy, joy, joy! I was so inspired that I even did a layout!! Will share it soon!


OK, earth to Vera, earth to Vera... plase come back and settle down. :)

 I do have cards to share with you as well. First up, is my card for Paper Play Challenges Week 29. This week it's color combo challenge. Cream, blue & another color of your choice. We're sponsored by Craft Brulee who provided us with some beautiful ribbons & lace. This beautiful peacock is from Hero Arts.



Next, is my card for Digi Doodle Shop's Best challenge. This week it's "Anything Goes". Super easy challenge. With summer and the hot, hot weather, I chose this summer drink as my image. Make me wish I am on a beach somewhere sipping mojito or mai tai! The pic didn't show it too well, but I added crystal glaze on the drink, so it looks shiny.


So, there's 2 fun challenges you can join. And y ou can easily combine both challenges in one card. Hope you will join the fun and I am looking forward to your creations!! Have a great Thursday!! Ciaoo....
