Laughing at Myself

I did this LO for my Challenge of Me Album. I had to do a section on "Habits", if you read my journaling you will find that I consider the ability to laugh at myself as on of my better habits. Life is just too short to be so serious that you can not laugh at yourself. In 2004 I got a perm and it took...too well...one night I brushed it out and this happened to my head. Todd thought he would be funny and get a pic of me in my hideous state. Just as I made this face, he snapped the pic. Every time I see this photo of myself I laugh, I just can't help myself.




I made this using colors from the SPCC challenge. The colors are based on the Stampin'Up line and are listed on the button above. My colors are not from Stampin' Up but as close as I had on hand. To see more about the challenges visit the SPCC. Samantha is the site host and she is very personable, I'm sure she would welcome any new followers and comments.

The other challenge I'm submitting this for is the Cuttlebug Spot challenge, "Make Me Laugh". Well, if this doesn't do it...I don't know what will!

Thanks for stopping by. Hope everyone had a great weekend and look forward to a promising week. Take care all of my fellow crafters and keep your hands busy!

Tea-rrific You Card

Here is my newest card. I borrowed the House Mouse stamp from Mom. (Bless her heart for letting me use it because she hadn't had the opportunity yet. Felt a little guilty inking it up for the first time.)

I made this card for a House Mouse Challenge. (You can find the challenge blog in the "Blogs I Follow" section at the bottom of this page.)I think it could be used for a thank-you or a friendship card, the sentiment works both ways.

I would leave more details regarding the card but honestly, I used what I had and the papers are no longer available. The ribbon was purchased at WalMart, the inks for distress...Versa...used my Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher for the ribbon and my Sixxix Sizzlits alphabet "Yarn". Oh, also used the Quickutz 4x4 border die.

So much left to do today. Must run but hope to be here posting new projects later tonight. Until then...Scrap 'til you drop!

House Mouse Grad Card

This is a little card I made this evening for my cousin Christopher, who recently graduated from High School. I'm going to enter it in a competition with the Simon Says Stamp Challenge on animals. Win or lose, I think its a cute card. Hope Chris will too.
