Cuttlebug Weekly Challenge and Some Blogger Awards

Just wanted to share a card for the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog Be Inspired challenge. We got to use the wonderful digi stamps from Digital Designs. Since I don't have copics and am not a watercolor kinda stamping kinda girl, I printed out the stamp on a scrap paper and then cut it apart. Then I traced bits and pieces of the stamp on Core'dinations and some Dream Street new Spooktacular Halloween paper and added them to the stamp I printed out on cardstock {the grass and outline of the tombstone}. Then i added some googley eyes b/c i love them ;) Using your scoring tools on the black magic Core'dinations is the bomb! That is how i created this super easy border around the card to let the orange show through. { i think i need a better closeup}


Then i used that same yummy Dream Street paper for the inside of the card with the Digi Stamp Halloween sentiment!


I just want to give a quick "shout out" to Citrus Tree Studios. They are having a dt call there, i would highly recommend it. the kits are GORGEOUS! unfortunately since we are on a budget these days i haven't been able to splurge on one but it is the first place i am when i can!

Here is a wall hanging i did with the Serendipity Scrapbooks Just Enough Kit. How flippin' COOL is it that kristen put guaze in the kit???????? AND these COOL foam houses?????? sorry, the googley eyes don't come with the kit, that is just my weird obsession with them.






Chris AND Julie gave me this cool blogger award! thanks guys ;)


So I have to list 10 honest things about myself...

1. i am not always honest. BAWAHAHAAWA! now let me clarify that...i am not always honest with myself about things such as the need to slow down, say no, things of that nature....


2. i am really really really really really really really bad at paperwork and both of my jobs need me to be good at it.


3. i can't stand smacking noises. smacking when you eat goes through me and when i hear that smacking noise of kissing on tv i have to change the channel!


4.i wanted to be an art historian and run a museum one day but i chose to move to colorado with my boyfriend and " be free" and then i just never followed that dream


5. i struggle with my faith everyday. i know a lot of people that i met online always seem so sure in this area but my faith isn't like that.


6. i never wanted to have kids. let me rephrase that...i never saw myself as a mom, in a house, cooking, with dogs and a husband... i wanted to live in NYC in a loft and just do my own thing but i met brian and he changed all that for me. now, i can't imagine not having them in my life and cherish every day with them.


7. i love my friends and think spending time with them is just as important as spending time with my family. i never understood how some people never have friends they hang out with.


8. i could eat pizza for every meal of every day.


9. i love sports and desperately want season tickets to the Phillies one day!


10. last but not least, i am a wino. i love to have a class of shiraz or cabernet when i come home from work and sit down to relax and do homework with owen.
