For my card above, I used one of the new Retro Women along with a new Funnybones Sentiment...which I think is hilarious! I used my sizzix circle flip it die for this card.

And this card features the Bouncy Ball Riley...how always makes me smile! I used the Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge SSSC176.

And this is another new Funnybones sentiment, which I think goes perfectly with this image!

Riley Sneak Peek, The Gift Of Coffee!

 Hello, I have another Riley and Company sneak peek for you, and this should perk you up! lol We bought a Keurig machine last year and it came with the individual filter attachment, so you can buy your own coffee grounds (makes it extremely cheap) for your favorite cup of coffee!

My Daughter and I like the German Chocolate Cake coffee from the Bulk Barn, and we store it in a canning jar...but I thought it could use a make-over and this would make a great gift for the coffee lover in your life!

I used one of the new vintage people images being released this week, along with one of the new Funnybones sentiments.

The name on the top was printed on the computer, and I used nesties to cut it out. The plastic lids are from Walmart in the canning section.

The whole Design Team is showing sneak peeks all week leading up to the Riley and Company Release and Blog Hop Thursday January 24th, 10 pm est. 

There will be 13 new retro men & women images and 36 new funnybones sentiments released on Thursday January 24th at 10pm est.

Riley Sneak Peek, Funnybones & More!

 You won't believe what Riley and Company has in store for you this month! If you're a fan of the Funnybones sentiments there's lots more this month and to go along with it, 13 of these fabulous vintage people!

The card above features one of the images and one of the sentiments. I left the image plain except for adding some lipstick! and I sponged the edges with Tim Holtz Antique linen.

 I decided to try my hand at making a tube of lipstick. Sorry the pictures aren't that great, but I'm so happy with the end result.

I sponged the edges with matching ink, melon mambo & sage shadow used here.

Here it is put together, then I also added some mini pearls. I bought them on ebay, and they were being sold as nail decorations.

I also used the Sweet Sunday Sketch SSSC175 for this card.

The Design Team will be showing sneak peeks from Saturday January 19, til the Release and Blog Hop on Thursday January 24th, 10pm est.
