Simply Sparkling - Monday Montage 253


I really can't complain too much about January.  We have had a couple of proper snow storms, some freezing East winds, and some rain to clear out the air of pollution.  We have a little over a week to go and then I just really start looking for signs of spring.


Welcome to out Monday Montage Blog hop.  I am so lucky to be included with such remarkable stamping talent. Stay with the hop - its worth it!

When I pulled out the Simply Sparkling stamp set to play with, all I could think about is that old Shasta commercial....  Go ahead and google it - you will be singing it for the day.

Don’t gimme that so-so soda
The same old cola
I wanna rock ‘n’ rolla.
I wanna pop (pop, pop)
I wanna Shasta.
I wanna taste pizzazz

All the great taste Shasta has.
I wanna pop (pop, pop)
I wanna Shasta (Shasta).
I wanna thrill
I wanna wow
Taste it all
I want it now.
I wanna pop (pop, pop)
I wanna Shasta.

Lately I have been enjoying Mountain Dew Spark - a tart raspberry lemonade.  I thought I would do a lineup of citrus flavors with a Slightly Sour warning.  I wasn't until I showed the card to my boy crush that he thought I was referring to the Friend as sour.  LOL  Not my intention, but kind of funny.

I added some wink of Stella to the soda pop can to make it sparkle...
I stamped off both the pumpkin pie and Parakeet to they colors were a little understated on the cans.  We certainly carry some bright colors. I took advantage of that and blended our ink to create the dotted background.  Think Bubbles!

Monday Montage 252 - Fluffiest Friends


What a crazy Winter season this has been.  The ski resorts are finally getting the beautiful powdery snow and Oliver the bulldog is having issues finding good potty spots because there is so much.  I love looking at the snow covered trees, but don't like walking or driving in it.


You have found the talented Montage Montage group.  Stick with the hop and you will see some amazing projects.  Hopefully they will inspire you.









This little kitty from Furriest of Friends which you can find in the online exclusives is just adorable holding the little flower pot among the little garden of flowers.  Purely enjoying itself.

I speckled the background with marker splatter to provide some interest instead of a plain background.

Stamps - Fluffiest Friends, Inspired Thoughts
Ink - Black, Markers and Blends
Paper - Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Gorgeous Grape, White, vellum
Accessories - Furriest of Friends Dies, Purple fine shimmer Blends


My mom's little dog crossed the rainbow bridge last night.  She had a little heart murmur and her little body just decided it was done.  We called her our little Sadie Lady. She was precious, loving and full of sass and pizzaz! She knew how to get treats anytime she wanted and loved a good snuggle under a blanket.  We are going to miss her.   Its crazy how attached we get to those little furry babies.

Stamping with Friends - Fluffiest Friends

I want, with all my being, to love January, but it isn't my fav.  We live in a bowl - surrounded by mountains and we get locked in with pollution and its gray and cold and not really close to spring.  I totally understand why some animals hibernate.  It makes sense.  Crazy enough, I always make it through and only with minor damage. LOL
