Disclaimer....I did use a bad word in this post.....

Well, this weekend we are going to a surprise party for a friend's father.  He is turning 65 and the family decided to have a "ROAST" for him. 

I don't have a funny story, but I did make him a funny card.

Here comes the bad word....so don't look at the card if you can't take it....

This card uses an image from Marjie's Malarkies.  The paper was all gifted to me and the bling is generic from WM.

I know, short post; but I am supposed to be packing so that I can go camping....

Whacked Out Wednesday

Maybe, Out of Whack Wednesday would have been a better name for today's blog....

I am not sure if I got out of bed on the wrong side or if the Earth decided to tilt, but my day is off to a strange start....  It could even be because my son stayed with his Auntie last night and that threw me off....

Regardless of why my day is whacked, I made a card using my new favorite colors...orange and blue (GO SU).  This card features Deedee's Digis "Cuties for a Cure" set and is done in all primary colors to fulfil the challenge requirement this week over there.

Thanks for stopping by~

Short post after a Delightful Day

My BFF and her family came to spend the day with me and mine...it was a great day!  We went to the local zoo and then off to a late lunch and a walk along the pier at Lake Ontario.  My DS, who is 11, enjoyed the day and loved being allowed to use the 'big' camera....  He is actually quite the photographer along with being a fine paper crafter!  He has some images that he has been coloring and can't wait to post them here.  He had plans of doing it tonight, but camping with his Auntie won out....

So, instead, you get to see my card tonight using the latest digi from Designed2Delight called 'Fishin' Around'.

The sketch and the challenge (to use ribbon, twine or STRING) was offered up at Double Delight with D2D (#8).

Thanks for stopping by, and I'll see ya tomorrow!

Happy Anniversary

A very short post today....have to get it in while EK is sleeping....

Today's card celebrates the Anniversary of EK's parents, Joe and Johanna!!
They are wonderful people and truly deserve much happiness!

Deets: paper was from my scrap file and stamps are SU!; ribbon is generic and used a bit of embossing powder too.

Thanks for stopping by; my DS says my card is boring, so I'd love to know what you think?

Here's to a happy weekend,

Thursday?? Where has my week gone??

What a short week I am having.  I really can't believe it is already Thursday...  I am looking forward to school starting back up for my darling son.  Probably not as much as he is, but then again, he just loves school!!  I am more excited that next week I get to spend the day with MY BFF...we are going to the local amusement park on Monday....everyone pray for great weather for us!!  I don't even have EK, so I won't have to run after him all day! PHEW (I love the little guy, but it would be even more tiring....lol)

My card today has nothing to do with my post.  LOL

This card is using just this week's free sentiment from Deedee's Digis.  I chose to do CAS for this one.  I used the first part of the verse on the card front and then "With deepest sympathy" on the inside.  The paper was from a stack I had purchased from Big Lots and the only embelly is a vintage button I picked up at an estate sale a few months back.

Thanks for looking and I hope you are having a great week!
