365 Cards - Day 200

It's Friday, Friday.  WOOT!  I need a Friday.  Actually, I need a week of them I think.  :D  How are you today stampy friends?  Ready for the weekend??  Here's a fun challenge to jump start your creativity for the upcoming days from 365 Cards.


Go to your utility/junk drawer, and pick out something that you can use on your card today.  Oooh!!  Challenging and very clever!  Here is mine:

See the bottle cap?  We goes to the utility drawer, we pulls out the bottle opener.  We opens the beer and gives to the hubs (ew, beer).  Then...we STEALS the cap for our card!!!  Yes, we are tricksy.




Stamp is from Paper Pretties.


Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have a fabulous weekend!  Don't forget to visit the 365 Cards blog to link up your projects! 

Paper Pretties September Release HOP!

Happy Wednesday!!  Can you believe it's here??  Yep, Release Day has arrived at Paper Pretties, and all of the new sets are now available for purchase in the Paper Pretties store!  To celebrate, we're blog hopping!  So go hopping, then go shopping!  :)

Of course with all this release excitement, it's easy to forget that it is still Wednesday, so we have a new Prettie Challenge for you.  This week's challenge is to use EARTH ELEMENTS colors on your card (PWC171).  Love it.  Perfect for Packer season!  *wink*

Thanks for joining us on the hop today!  Welcome from Frances's blog!  You're right on track.  If you've gotten lost along the way, you can find a full list of the blog hop participants on the Paper Pretties blog.

Without further ado, here's my contribution to this fabulous Prettie Wednesday and blog hop, featuring the new sports-themed set Football.  Perfection.  What a way to celebrate the big win last week, and to cheer on all those budding football stars out there!  I think my DS#2 is going to be one as well...

You may notice my preview card was the green (home) jersey.  Now, the away jersey!  Heeeeee!!!).  Now, I'm out, your next stop on our party train is Kristine Reynolds.  Have a fabulous day!

Vacation!!

Hello Friends!!

Well I am on vacation, visiting my parents, for the next week or so, so the blog will be pretty quiet.  One of my amazing sista's at 365 Cards will be filling in for me this Friday, so check that post out over on the blog.  I did have a card for yesterday's post, so check the blog fot that one too, it never made it up here with all the last minute running around I did.  I can stamp, but blogging has been a real challenge this summer!  What's with that??

Of course Wednesday's Paper Pretties challenge will also be available on the Paper Pretties blog.

With all the trip prep, I never even got caught up with the posts!  Jeez!  I swear I need another 5 hours a day.  :D  But when we're home and access to the photos again I will do that.  Can't let all those fun card creations go to WASTE!

Have a great weekend and next week/weekend and I'll be back the week of the 29th.  MWAHs to you all!!
