Trendsetter Tuesday- Jenny Peterson!!

I promised Jenny when I wrote today's post about her, that I would only speak the truth...well, here goes. Jenny, is a ROCKSTAR!! I have gotten a chance to know her on a more personal level, lately, and I can't even TELL you how AWESOME she is. Funny, smart, snarky, kind, caring, loving, crazy, and SO TALENTED....Jenny is LITERALLY all that, and a bag of ribbon!!

If my fawning on her wasn't proof enough, her work should be!!



Do you SEE what she did with the new Perk Up set??? Be still my heart.....her colors, the coloring, the papers, the lace, the flowers.....it's all just, SIGH....amazing.



Then there's this....HOLY MOLY!! I SQUEEEL'd out loud when I first saw this AMAZING set....paper bag book and matching card, made with the Hauntingly Delightful and Bugs and Hisses sets....SWOON!! She has REALLY knocked this one out of the park. Perfect coloring, perfect embellishing, perfect papers...just, Perfect.



Oh, and seriously...would you LOOK at this one?? What an ADORABLE scene she has created with these ADORABLE snakes and trees from the Zoopendous set!! It makes me want to break out my old stamps and make stuff...lots of STUFF!! She even ALMOST makes me want to learn how to use my Janome. I said ALMOST....

Well, that's enough of me telling the truth about Jenny!! Check out her fabulous blog for more inspiration from her!! Trust me, the eye does not go wanting!!

Hugs, Jenny!!

Love, Meatball<3
