It's A Pirate's Life For Me!

Good Morning!!  It's Summer, y'all :-)

 

And I'm FREE!!!!

 

Free to ignore my alarm clock.

 

To eat ice cream for dinner.

 

To get road trippin'.

 

To embrace my inner pirate!!

 

Today, a brand new challenge begins over on The Octopode Factory's challenge blog, and it's aaaaallllll about the BOYS!!!

 

 

For the challenge, I've colored up Lily's Pirate Captain Jack digi.  LOVE him!

 

As I was coloring him up, my hubby told me he needed a bit more guy liner.  I'm a huge fan of big hair bands and am all about the guy liner, so I was 'oh-so-happy' to oblige!

 

Ok, guys---that's it for me!  It's time to embrace your inner slugs, snails and puppy dog tails and whip up a little something crafty!!

 

See ya next time :-)

Shimmy And Shake.

Hello, ma peeps!! 

 

Recently, I discovered a FAB set of neon glitters in my local Michael's.  Man, do I love neon!!  Mix that with glitter and I was completely sold.

 

 

Soooo, I whipped out my glue and glittered up myself a supah fun, splat-tastic card base for one amazingly cute Bean :-)

 

This is The Greeting Farm's Glisten Bean.  How cute is she??!

 

Aaaaaannnd, here's the best part...

 

SHE WOBBLES!!!

 

Yep!  A genuine wobbly, bobble head card.  I love making these!  They're sweet, with just enough shimmy and a tad bit o' shake. 

 

Fun, right??

 

I'll be entering this into the Farm Fresh Friday, 'Make It Move' challenge over on The Greeting Farm's blog :-)

Oz

Hellooooo :-)  It's been a bit, no?

The end of the school year tends to be super hectic.  And sort of bittersweet.  So many lovely things have happened this year!  So many new things seen and experienced.

There have been field trips, award ceremonies, birthday parties and so many weekends spent with family.

This year, we went to Oz.

Being the dutiful momma I am, I took pictures :-) 

And SMASH*ed it!!

Little Sister got her TIN on at a party and she absolutely fell in love with Glinda while in Oz.

And my boys embraced their inner WICKED :-)

(Saturated Canary's Elphie can be found HERE.)

Just for the record, it's a total coincidence that my sweet girl ended up on the good side of the page while my stinky boys are on the wicked. 

Just sayin'.

When Rubber Meets Clay...

Hiya, Peeps!!  Today's my day!!

 

 My day to be the Hostess with the Most-est over on the Saturated Canary YouTube channel, that is :-)

 

So, after much contemplation, I realize that I've been neglecting my poor SC rubbah, in favor or my digi collection. 

 

I love digis---but there are some things a digi just can't do...

 

Like rock out an awesome impression in clay!!!

 

 

I've used my Saturated Canary 'Bella' stamp to turn a simple lump of clay into a fabulously wearable piece of jewelry :-)

 

Isn't she awesome??!!?

 

And the best part?  Paper clay is super light weight, so wearing her is pain free.  And pain free jewelry is my favorite kind!!

 

Okee doke folks, if you wanna see how she came together, hop on over to the Saturated Canary YouTube channel and check it out!! 

 

Oh, and just a reminder, Momma's Day is coming up, ya know. 

 

You may or may not find yourself in the position of needing a little gifty.

 

Just sayin.

TAG, You're It!!

Hello! 

 

Today, a brand new challenge begins over on The Octopode Factory's challenge blog.  The theme this time is TAGS, sooooo tag---you're it!!

 

For my tag, I've colored up Lily's Whimsical Cheshire Cat.  Love him and his loooooooong legs!

 

 

And you know I had to add some dots.  I kinda have a thing for dots---punches, sequins and inked :-)

 

Here's a close-up of Mr. Smiles, himself...

 

Ok, that's it for me!  Now, hop on over and check out the rest of the DT's fabby creations and then go get crafty :-)

I LOVE YOU, TONY!!

Who's excited for the new Iron Man movie??  I'm a fan!!  Just sayin'. 

 

I'm super excited!! 

 

My Hubby and I usually have a standing date for opening night on all movies we're both excited for, but this one happens to fall smack dab in the middle of my NSD scrap retreat.

 

Aww, well!  To ease the pain, here's a little card I've whipped up for the Hubbster for using Lily's Iron Man digi. 

 

How much do I love this image?!!?  He's iron.  He's a man.  He's too cute for words!!

 

 

I actually have a piece of an old Avenger's comic book straight from a Gauche Alchemy kit, and I just had to snap a shot of this card with it :-)

 

Here's a close-up...

 

Ok, now it's time for a little confession...

 

I was totally stressin' about coloring up this little guy!!  I mean, what if I colored him in the wrong proportion of red to gold?  What if I made some other unknown faux pas that only a true comic purist would understand?

 

All I can say is that I haven't been blasted yet!  My boys both LOVED him, so I'm pretty sure dad will, too :-)

 

Have fun this week, my peeps!!
