Happy to report the Bellas were indeed easier to work with. I am also THRILLED to report that the new SU catties arrived and I am so excited about them! The Fall/Winter 08-09 Idea Book & Catalog is one of the best I have seen in years! Of course, my checkbook isn't nearly so ecstatic...

These girlies, though not SU, were part of that sisterly swappin' tin I mentioned before. I believe that the images and coloring were both from Tonya, aka StampVamp, and certainly the colors are right up my alley! I am going to miss Wild Wasabi when it heads off into the sunset on Monday... What a great color!! I really wanted to add some stitching along that awesome scalloped edge, but honesty, Blogettes, I am whipped! Or lazy - but I'm thinking the fatigue-factor gives me a pass...
