Maria of Card Inspired Blog Candy Challenge...DAY 1!

So for Maria's blog candy day 1, we are suppose to share our desk where we craft or our creation station and tell what makes it Zen....could be something you created that keeps you motivated....a plant....anything. Well not to be all brown nosing OR butt kissing (that's not gonna get anyone a greater chance to win), but my inspiration or "Zen" is a beautiful card I received from Maria! I also have what I call my Alien Tripod massager nearby that helps my tense muscles relax...lol. Here is a pic of what my creation station looks like and the card I received up close! I think it's the colors or the circles that make me relax and feel serene. PLUS, my favorite color is purple and how gorgeous is it paired with green?

Not for the faint of heart!

Ok, so I'm known to have a sick, twisted, & demented mind...but this tops it off! I made this card for a swap over at SCS called Lingerie & Chocolate! I went brain dead for a while until I visited Viva Las Vegastamps! Then my juices went flowing!!!! Their "naughty" stamps are as wicked as my brain! Without further a-do....here is the infamous Lingerie & Chocolate card! P.S. In case you didn't notice...the chocolate chip morsels are suppose to be the nippies! *blush*
