Petaloo and Luminarte = LOVE !!

Along with my whopping TWO layouts I did over the entire weekend at the always Fabulous Colorful Creations Crop on the Cape  I started the following layout, which I finally put the finishing touches on. I took some new GORGEOUS Color me Crazy flowers from Petaloo and painted them with Burnt Umber Twinkling H2O's - leaving some of the white showing. After heat setting the flowers  I wanted to add some more pizazz to my flowers so I sprayed them  with Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist  in Egyptian Gold to add more yummy shimmer !! Here's my layout with some close-ups and I'll be back soon with more fun projects !! Have a great weekend !!

Hoppin' Around ...

Spent the day in Boston today at an Ultrasound conference and saw some old friends that I worked with a million years ago !! Our conference was at the Long Wharf and my co-worker and I hopped over to Faneuil Hall for a quick lunch and some window shopping - then back to the conference. I LOVE Boston - even though it was cold, raw and rainy !!


Speaking of hopping ... (awesome transition, eh LOL !!), please check out the upcoming blog hop happening next week with Creative Imaginations and Memory Box !! It's going to be soooo much fun ! Stay tuned ...
