Father's Day Card For The Town Scrapper

I just love the design challenges. And this one was so fun. Sorry about the super short post today folks, but I've got to run for a doctor's appointment this morning. Isn't that so nice!?! hahahahaha! Anyway, I used the Victoria Case design, Big Catch Evan... how fun is THIS little guy. What is it about The Town Scrapper??? This stuff just keeps getting better and better. Oh! And I colored him with Copic markers and actually re-purposed some aluminum foil (yes, like from the kitchen) that I dabbed alcohol ink on to make them orange. It's always fun when you can use ,or in this case re-use, regular kitchen items for art!!! Anyway, this one was created for the design challenge over at The Town Scrapper for Father's Day... what a great theme. So grab your fun supplies and play along: Click HERE for challenge.

Have a wonderful morning everyone!

Past 7 Days....

Maple Syrup vs. Honey

I did a post a while back about the nutritious sweetener for the lemonade on the Master Cleanse: maple syrup ! In fact, for quite some time now it has been my only sweetner (well, that and agave nectar... YUM!). But why maple syrup... isn't honey the magical sweetener? First, let's consider where both come from. One comes from a tree and the other comes from flowers, but is predigested and then regurgitated by a bee. Can you guess which is which??? hahahaha ! Really though, just the idea that an insect's already digested nectar from a flower lends to the idea that the nectar is already devoid of nutrients when it's vomited back up. Isn't that the whole point of digestion? To pull the nutrients from whatever it is you have ingested. So is it safe to say that honey is a bi product ? Or even a waste material? I would certainly call MY vomit a waste material... what about you? But beyond the gross visual I now have in my head of honey, I also have a real concern about ...

Curse You 21 Jumpstreet and Heed My Warnings

Ok, so I rented it and I loved it!!! I hate that I loved it! And I hate myself even more that I'm running out to buy it! But watching this HILARIOUS movie remake reminds me of all the broken dreams and unanswered questions I was left with as a teenage girl while I manipulated and maneuvered my black and white TV antennae unavailingly to give me a clear picture of the hit Fox TV show. Back in 1987, Fox was a new station and did not come through very clearly on that trusty black and white and most nights it was as if my beloved Penhall was communicating to me from the other side through all that white noise. Yes, I was in love with Officer Doug James Penhall and that teenage ritual would literally foreshadow the pain and heartbreak I would endure watching the end of 21 Jump Street the movie... and I'm STILL compelled to buy it. If you haven't seen the movie yet, this post might come as a shock and should definitely be considered a spoiler for anyone readin...

I Love Being Hit By Mack Trucks

Ok, so my friend Cindy came over to play with all her new Stampin Up goodies. When I first looked at the Yippee Skippee stamp set I fell in love with all but ONE stamp, "Never Underestimate The Power of Two"???? What the heck does that mean??? Is that supposed to be a "couples" stamp, like for Valentines or weddings or something? I don't know, but when you apply that sentiment to alcohol, well..... Isn't it JUST so obvious how perfect this sentiment is?!? I mean, it was like being hit with a Mack truck! LOL! Cindy and I were SOOOO proud of ourselves!!! This card is AWESOME!!!! We added the "or three" to the end realizing that it is just funnier that way!!! We used a TON of Stampin Up goodies for this card: Inks and Papers - Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White Stamp Sets - Yippee Skippy, Happy Hour Tools - Big Shot, Banners Framelits, Paper Piercer, Paper Piercing Mat Additional - Li...
