I am THRILLED to announce that I was asked to come back as an My Favorite Things DT member!! You can ask my BSF, Jodi, I get a little nuts when it is contract renewal time, LOL!! I LOVE MFT and I am honored to be a part of their DT, and THRILLED to work with Kim and all the other MFT girls!! YAAAAY ME!!!

In honor of today, I wanted to share a card I made recently with the new Who's That Geek Guy? set. I am IN LOVE with it, and all it's quirky little sayings!! I even used a Binary Code to Text translator to see what my "sentiment" said before I put it on this card!! LOL!! My sketch is a previous sketch from Mercy's blog. I used my Jumbo Scalloped Die-namics to create my scallops....so fun!!

For the inside, I couldn't help but use this cute little sentiment, too. It's so FUN!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Head to Kim's blog for the big announcement, and to see who's on all the new teams!!

MTSC78 Great Minds Drink Alike

Hey everyone!! I wanted to make a quick card this morning...and something went terribly wrong, LOL!! I love the new, A Drink A Day set from There She Goes....but this card isn't speaking to me. Except for the umbrella drink part, LOL!!

I think it may be because I am tired, or the fact that I screwed up and put too many holes at the bottom for brads...but MEH!!! What can you do, right? I am super tired, and going to be late for work, so I guess the only thing I need to say is that I used one of Mercy's sketches from a few weeks ago......yep, that's it!!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Here is a peek at the inside....I love finishing them now!! I used to hate it, but it makes it SO MUCH easier when I go to mail one out!!

Hoot! Hoot! Hurray!!

I don't have anything recent to show you, but I didn't want to NOT post today, so I decided to show you another card that I made when I was a part of the Dirty Dozen. It is one that was made for the February '09 gallery. Here is a link to the info about that gallery, and what it's theme was!!

Since the theme was art, I decided to use my SUPER CUTE, Stephanie Fizer set, An Owl For All Seasons. I also used My Favorite Thing's Summer paper pack and ribbon. I saw this card in my folder and fell in love with it all over again...I love it when that happens!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Hope you enjoyed my new/old creation!! Have a great day!!
