The Scrappy Chick

Neverland

Happy Sunday!  This is an image that I colored weeks ago and never made into a card.  But I just had an urge to finish it today :)

I used this weeks Farm Fresh Friday sketch from The Greeting Farm's blog.  Wendy is from the set Never Ever by The Greeting Farm.  She is colored with copics to match this gorgeous paper from K & Co...and then airbrushed inside the nestie frame.

The flowers were misted with Glimmer Mist to give them some shimmer and then tied atop a silk ribbon bow.  The circle elements in the corners are the Blossom die flower from spellbinders, cut then embossed with a Impressibilites screen over the die.  I then inked the raised flowers with a cats eye pad...but its very faint and almost impossible to see in the photo.

• Supplies:
• Stamps: Never Ever (The Greeting Farm)
• Paper: Happy Trails (K & Co)
• Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko); Ice Blue, wisteria cats eyes (Clearsnap)
• Accessories: Labels 4 & Blossom Nestabilities, Flower Impressabilites (spellbinders); flowers (Prima); Patina Glimmer Mist (Tattered Angels); buttons (MME); ribbon (May Arts); copics & air brush system; oval punches (SU!)

I wanted to share a cute pic from our recent Florida trip.  This is so typical of my kids...Perry HATES to have his picture taken, and also "hates" hugs, so everybody gangs up on him :)

Have a great night!  Thanks for stopping by :)

Tacky Day

OK, I had to share these.  What is every kids favorite day at school?  Why, Tacky Day of course!  M<y girls were up an extra hour early this day fixing hair and such.  Here's 2 shots...the goofy shot (we all have to do those in order to convince the kids to let you take ANY pictures) and the head shot.

I think Rachael looks like the gal from the Safety Video, do you know the one??  This is actually not a very good shot of TAylor's head, but she had a coke bottle undr her hair, creating the height.  She didn't ecven fit in the car, LOL...she had to squat down in the seat. ANyway, they look so ridiculous I had to upload them.  But what I want to know is why do they call it tacky day, these kids don't look tacky?  I can think of a lot of other words for them, but ridiculous may be the best :)

Everything a Mom Says in a Day...

A friend emailed me this, and it is too funny!  I had to listen to it 3 times to catch it all.  BTW, grab a kleenex, cause you'll laugh til you need it!

This video is from Yahoo, I don't know the comedian: Mom Video

I'm Back! (Sort of) & scroll down for a big GRIN!

Well, I'm back from the land of the dead...but I'm still not 100%.  I did have a day of stamping when I was almost better, but still not out and about.  Now that I can drive & everything I'm back on taxi duty and way behind on the house! 

I was working on projects for my next stamp club.  I'll share some more later, I need to tweek a few things, but here's one card for you.  It started for Beate's weekend sketch, last weekend, LOL.  But I love the way it turned out!!

The main image is from "Big on Christmas", stamped in Basic Black on Very Vanilla and then colored with my Stampin' Write markers in Old Olive, Certainly Celery, and Real Red.  I finally caved and bought "All in A Row".  What on earth was I waiting for?? I love the look of the faux stitching!  The argyle image was stamped in basic black after the layers were adrhered together.  The background papers are both from "Dashing" DSP, and the cardstock is Real Red, Old Olive, and River Rock.  Its tied off with a wide Red Grosgrain Ribbon.

OK, so now its time for the big grin for everyone.  Little Michael , my 4 year old. tripped over his flip-flop last Friday and apparently jammed his toe.  He cried a bit, but then he was fine.  He didn't want to walk on it for a couple of days, but you know how kids are, they cna milk anything!  But the thing was, unless he bent his toe (which he could do) he was fine.  If you made him bend it he whined.  Finally we figured something may be up (even though he was playing outside just fine, LOL)...turns out he has a small fracture.  But what I have to share is the photo of him on the crutches, how cute is that??  He's been a show-stopper and head turner for sure this week!

Thanks for stopping in, I'll get back the stamping mojo soon!
