Take Time For Yourself

I don't know about you, but that is one of the hardest things for me to do.

I don't enjoy spending money or time on 'me'. It makes me feel guilty, lol!

But we do need to take time out for ourselves.

It doesn't make us selfish if we do it with the right attitude at heart.

I think we all need moments throughout the day to escape, 

collect our thoughts, relax a bit, and just unwind. 

OR to get away from the bickering and loudness of the house by hiding in the

shower with the curtain closed and all the lights off.

The kids will not be able to find you for a little while at least ;) HAHAHA!

I am kidding... maybe 

This card is all about being pampered and taking time

out for yourself. It features one of my NEW Fresh Brewed Designs

Digital Stamps: HAIR SALON 

>>I'm not that with the names of my digis sometimes, 

 I admit, but we will have to just go with it ;)<<

I used papers from the 6x6 paper pad: Embellish by Dena: Little Azalea

The image was colored using prismacolor markers in ballet pink, blush pink, pink, orange,

salmon pink, grey 60, and avacado. The skin was colored using copic markers. 

I added some mod podge dimensional glaze to the chair, book, lips, and shoes. The book also 

has a splash of green stickles. 

Today is the LAST day to comment on our new digi release post for a chance to win a free digi

from the release. Don't wait, Comment HERE!

Sweet Sunday Sketch 273

Thank you for stopping by!

One Hot Valentine!

I know this image is not one you would typically use for a Valentine, but when I think of the word HOT she is one of the stamps I think of :D.  Her boots, tights and  her funky shirt just equal Hot and Sassy - don't you think? The inside says Valentine - I think you're HOT!!! {sortof punny with the hairdryer too :D HEHEHE!!!}

The ribbon, hand cut felt hearts and the brad are all  from my scrap pile / box. The image was colored using Prismacolor markers and pink stickles. The designer paper is Letterbox Truly Yours by American Crafts.

this card was created using the Eat Sleep Stamp sketch

I even masked off the lovely lady and decorated the envies to send her off with the cute hair dressers table!! :)
Remember the fun set I made for the release on March 1? I took those to my hairdresser yesterday. I always feel embarrassed giving personal gifts like that. Either she liked them or she was just extra nice. I really love her {Amy} she is super sweet and sassy and beautiful and one of those real nice people.Know what I mean? We chopped several inches off of my hair off too :/ lol!!! I was wanting something easier and sassier for the warmer months. Not sure if it was the best decision, I woke up this morning less in shock. I like it though :) I attached a small pic for you :D

I hope you have a very lovely weekend. I know there are lots of things going on in the news that is scary and depressing. Just remember, our God is greater and stronger and will hear all of the prayers that are being lifted up. Hold your family closer and enjoy your time with them over the weekend (and always) but while you have extra time today, if you do not have to work, just enjoy them that extra bit more and continue to pray for those facing all of these life changing events.

Cute AND Sassy!!!
