I'm a bit delayed on posting this last article, but, somehow, I think you'll find it worth the wait when you see this last group of Rhonda's amazing designs! I saved one of these in particular for last, because it I think I fell off my chair when I pulled it from the envelope for the first time.
If you'll kindly leave a comment (one only, per article, please!) at any of our Guest Designer articles featuring Rhonda's creations, we'll enter your name into the drawing for her stamp and note card picks, along with some ribbon love!
- *new* Love Shack
- *new* 4 Bar Popsicle Pink Note Cards
Comments will close Wednesday, February 4th, and we'll announce the winners shortly after.
Alrighty, then--brace y'selves, for this fab finale:
You know it. I know it. Is this not the cutest cleverness???!!! I love the Chocolate bar on top of the Love Bug, paired with this sentiment--so *smaaaaht*, as our girl Shurkus would say!
I know, right?! Never in a gazillion years would it have occurred to me to have the weiner dogs sharing a milkshake treat at the soda fountain counter.
This one just had me rolling and I love the way she coated the Swirly Cone with Cotton Candy Stickles and popped it up. A little bling strategically placed on the Swirly Bracket sets off the whole design.
So out of the box, doncha' think?! It would not have occurred to me to create a perfume bottle from an oval punch out, and wish someone, quite so literally, a "scent-sational" "Valentine's day"--did you notice how she combined the two sentiments?! Rhonda, yer KILLIN' ME with the genius, girl!
OK, this is the one I just had to save for last, featuring the Lingerie Shop--as you recall Rhonda has created 3 other designs, which I have shown each week.
Ready . . .
Set . . .
LOOKY:
Are you still standing???!!! Yeah, I thought not. Fell off yer chair, didnya'?!!! *howling*
IT'S A BUSTIER!!!
This is not just "ooh la la", it's "OH MYLAAAAAANTA!!!" ..........................THUD!!! 
The Vintage Black paper makes the perfect lacey edge to the Kitchen Black bustier form. And, right down to the last detail, of course, she just *had* to put a Popsicle Pink bow right there to adorn the decolletage!
It has been exceedingly for me to share all these wondermous designs by Rhonda throughout the past few weeks with all of you, and, I'm sure you feel as inspired as I am to get out my Valentine stamps, and stamp like a maniac!
Ginormous thanks to Rhonda for sharing her truly delightful sense of humor, and tremendous cleverness!
I just love the new stamps!!!

Posted by: Sharon Knitter | Friday, January 30, 2009 at 09:20 AM
