wonky wednesdays...

eog's this week and warm humid weather have really got me feelin' wonky- but i have been doing some crafting and scrapping...hope you enjoy. this layout is about hubbs newest tat...in honor of "his girl" our daughter....i loved the butterflies...and all the distress ink i got to use...thank you tim holtz!!!

torsional tuesday......

who says 15 year old boys cant use the cricut? well mine sure whipped out some images for a project in greek mythology. been super busy with daughters school- we did a "survivor" like day to prepare for upcoming EOG's and i must be honest...it was fun. we had buffs for our tribe and we got to travel to different places in the school for different classes. the kids could search for a hidden immunity idol in each room , which held a homework pass and several prizes. my only complaint was no tribal council , i had one kid i desperately wanted to vote out!!! no seriously it was a fun day, and creative way to prepare stress-free for EOG's.

don't worry...bee happy....

this weeks challenge from bitten by the bug2 is grrrreat! donna chose the bee cut from sentimentals- but i don't have it yet, so i used the bee from create-a-critter.or what i fumble out of my mouth when i talk about it cause i get so excited...create-a cricut.i know , i know...anywhoo- here are the particulars

monday's challenge.....

here is my take on the bbtb2's challenge this week.i used a simple a-2 card ,scored with my new martha stewart scoreboard. i used plain black cardstock, and the cut was the ice-cream tab from the cricut cart from my kitchen- i cut it at 3 1/2. i used wild card to cut enjoy out at 6 1/2. the patterned paper was sei perfect petals and the rhinestones were martha stewart, pink and teal papers were scraps. hope you "enjoy" my take on the challenge!

sunday ramblings

so first let me say i try to be a patient person....but ...i have been waiting for a new cricut cart for 8 days!!!! now, i know my hubbs just wants to make me happy- he knew how bad i wanted this cart, create a critter, so he bought it for me on ebay- and it still hasnt arrived yet , so i am anxiously awaiting this cart. i have a gazillion projects planned for it ...so please craft fairies infiltrate the usps and get it here fast, thank you, i would be eternally grateful.

my first share....

okay this is not my first card but my first card made for a specific contest! i made this card for the bitten by the bug2 blog- i would love to win a magnolia stamp...i love them ...even tho' honestly i only have one stamp...i am a work in progress! i stamped the background, cut out the umbrella from everyday paperdolls- in 2in"-2 1/2"- 3"--- paper-pieced them to match my stamped image which i stickled and used bic markers on. i just love the faces on these magnolia stamps...reminds me of my childhood, kind-of holly-hobby-ish
