I have a card to share too today, (see I can do something on a Saturday besides watch basketball and football).

This is for the Sketch Challenge on SCS (SC158). I loved this DSP from the L1 Retired Simply Scrappin Kit from SU (Creative License). So here are the ingredients:

Stamp Set: Zoofari, Fundamental Phrases

CS: Wild Wasabi, Blue Bayou, Sky Blue, Whisper White

Ink: Blue Bayou, Black Stazon

Accessories: Ticket Punch, In Color Double Stitched Ribbon, Blender Pen, Lg Oval Punch, Word Window Punch

Happy Saturday!

It's Packer Playoff Saturday, and need I say GO PACK GO? I'm hoping Brett and Company can lead the packers to victory. Should be a good game. It was snowing earlier this morning, so I'm curious to see what the conditions will be like in Green Bay. Until then, I'm watching the Washington State/UCLA Basketball game. 

Moosing You...Grandma

Greetings, and happy weekend!

So glad the weekend is finally here. It's been a long week at the office, packing, moving and unpacking again today! So exhausted, but I wanted to put a post on here about something that happened yesterday amongst all the chaos.

Yesterday I decided to take a lunch outside of the office, and head over to McD's. I walked over (as I always do) and going in the place in front of me was a middle aged woman, and who I assume was her mother, For those of you that don't know, My Grandma, Mother and I used to go to McDonalds every Thursday, after Grandma got her hair set at the beauty parlor. It was our afternoon out together, and it was always special. So as I saw this lady and her mother walk in together, I couldn't help but have flashbacks of all those trips with Grandma and My mom. my grandma is no longer with us (she lived 98 years - something any of us I think would take these days!) but as I sat there eating my cheeseburger (no pickles), small fries, and child sized orange (just as grandma ordered) I nearly broke down just thinking about those days. So this card is not so much a general "HI" card, as it is a "Hi there, I'm moosing you grandma".  Enjoy....

SU Sets: Moose You, (word set I cant remember) 

INK: Choc Chip, Creamy Caramel (sponging)

CS: Choc Chip, Creamy Caramel, Wanted DSP, Whisper White

Access:  Word Window Punch, Large Oval Punch, Slot Punch, 5'8" Choc Chip Grossgrain, brads, ticket corner punch, sponge

BTW...the Badgers pulled off the Victory last night, as I thought, Butch had a great inside game going, and Trevon Hughes came through with a strong game.

Bucky Hoops Vs Illini tonight!

Evening!

It's getting to be time for Badger Hoops, against Illinois @ the Kohl Center (here in Madison).  So why aren't I there? Oh because it's the toughest ticket in town these days (no offense football team). Of course, it wouldn't be a Badger Basketball night without a little wet weather (yep it's snowing here). 

I think the Badgers will do well tonight against IL, The photo to the left is of John Leuer, who had 25 points @ Michigan and more recently 7 points in 14 minutes against Iowa. Coming off the bench he's giving the Badgers a really good look as far as the outside shot (3-ball) goes. He's also shooting 7 of 8 beyond the arch in big-ten games so far, which as a team, the Badgers have really been missing. I'm hoping to continue to see Brian Butch be aggressive in the paint tonight as well. In the Big Ten, you need a "big go to guy" down low to be successful in the conference and I think Butch can be that guy. Not that Landry is not doing well down there, but he is more of a slasher-type player, and Butch can take up some real-estate down there.

Well, those are my thoughts for a successful game! Go BADGERS! :)

Gina K - Stamps For a Cause

Good Evening Everyone, 

Sorry I have been AWOL a few days, I had a lot going on this weekend. I thought I would share one of my newest cards, made with a set called "How Sweet It Is" from Gina K Designs. The set is part of the Stamps For A Cause. $7 from each set will be divided equally between the American Diabetes Association and the Juvenile Diabetes Association. A great set for a great cause. I'll post another sample tomorrow night using another image from the set. (thinkYUMMY!) You can find more information on Stamps for A Cause by going HERE. 

Supplies Used: Bordering Blue CS, So Saffron CS, SU Brads, So Saffron DSP, Marvy Rectangle Punch, Bordering Blue Ink, WWC, Blender Pen, Ticket Corner Punch, and Corner Punch

Thanks for looking! Have a Great Night! We are switching buildings @ work this week so I'll be in "packing mode" the rest of the week! 

It's BRRR outside

It's BRR cold outside up here in the badger state. The temperature is about 17 but it doesn't feel like it. I could really feel the wind ripping as I walked home (and I can hear it now as I type away). So what else than to share one of my recent winter cards with you. I used the rock-n-roll technique on this one for the snowflake (SU Snowfall set). Colors used were Blue Bayou and Sage Shadow, along with the Retired Wintergreen DSP (so glad I ended up getting that!) I used Blue Bayou Stitched Ribbon, and a sparkly brad (Making Memories). The little tag was made with A to Z Accents (SU). I also used some gold cord (retired). Snowfall has been one of my most used sets this winter. I'm always wanting to cut out the big snowflake in the set! I cut 3 of those out last night for a SCS Winter cello bag swap. 

Maybe next time it's this cold out I will post a pic of something a little warmer! :)  Have a super night!
