**C.A.L.Y.P.S.O.fied**

Without a doubt...this has to be my FAVORITE new
release from Bo Bunny. I feel like the colors were MADE
for me. Gorgeous, just gorgeous.

I've been truly
"Ca-lypso-fied".


and I love that!

Once again...I have to say thank you to Bo Bunny
for asking me to be your guest this month. Not only
is it an honor, it's a priveledge and an all out DELIGHT!

Today on their blog they have the album I made
with their Calypso line.

Here is everything I used to create this album of my sweet family:

Calypso, Calypso Bloom, Calypso Hope, Calypso Dream,
Calypso Buttons & Bling, Calypso Flowers, Calypso Believe Rubons,
Calypso Combo Stickers, Calypso Cut Outs, Double Dot Ribbons,
My Edgy Albums, Chunky Charms Chipboard

and here's my album:

the cover: all grungy like...(only thing I used of my stash is the paint)

pages 1 and 2:


close ups:

pages 3 and 4:

closer peek:



pages 5 and 6 (final pages)
and to see it closer:
You have GOT to get your hands on Calypso!
Every little bit of it is amazing. Even prettier in your hands!
Oh and the ribbon..ahhhhhhhhhhh the ribbon. I ♥ ribbon.
Definitely my weakness.
AND because I love this line so much I'm willing to part with a little bitty bit
of it so you can get your hands on it right now.
Bo Bunny is so generous!
They sent me the most beautiful package.
Here's a few things from the Calypso line I will RAK to someone:
If you leave me a note here and tell me what's your favorite
thing about Calypso, I will put your name in a drawing to receive
this package.
You have until Thursday @ 6pm CST to leave a comment.
I will randomly pick a winner Friday morning @ 9 am CST
(so be right back here then to see if your name's there!)
Thanks!
I hope your week is the best ever.
I have lots to share with you! Graduation, Awards, Last day of High School....
and maybe just
maybe something fun to share...soon.

Fabulous example of why I could never be fully satisfied as a digital scrapper. I LOVE the shapes, textures, edges - the pure dimensionality. It goes way beyond eye candy, makes me want to hold it, touch it, FEEL it...ABSORB it. Thank you for sharing such wonderfully inspiring art.
