Busy times

['here did the weekend go? I swear I blinked and it's Sunday night. It's been a little busy here. We got a new kitty, a tiny adorable gray puff ball. We decided to name him Luger in honor of Kevin's favorite steak house, Peter Luger's in NYC. Delicious steaks and a fine name for a soon to be giant Maine Coon Kitty. We've been having a "wonderful" time introducing him to the other two. Right now he is sitting on my lap/computer as I type this post. Grin...

So, here is a little something I made for the Verve sketch challenge. I am loving the new SU! in colors. The crushed curry looks awesome with Basic Gray when paired with the designer paper from MME.

For the flower I took some designer paper and ripped it into 3 rough circles. I crumpled them and layered them together. I sewed it together with a button.

I hear some hissing, Godiva is still pretty unhappy with the new arrival, so I have to make sure everyone is still in one piece.

Enjoy!

So close...

Are you every really proud of yourself for something only to later realize that you totally messed it up? That's what happened here. I wanted to 1. Use some of this designer paper from SU! "QUICK! only 3 weeks until retirement, use it up while you still can!! The new in colors are coming, the new in colors are coming!! AHHH!!!!"

Sorry, got a little frantic there for a bit. Anywho, I wanted to use up some of the dp and play along with not only the Mojo Monday sketch, but the Pink elephant challenge as well. I nailed the sketch, and for Pink Elephant, the challenge was 1 sentiment, 2 layers and 3 buttons.

Nope, not a single stinkin' button to be found. I realized that after I took the picture. Sigh... I missed last week's challenge after me and a chipboard birdie got into a fight. (Those darn birdies were like horror movie zombies, they kept coming and coming. I battled 5 of them then ran away.)

I have to go find some buttons and re-post. Grrr...

Enjoy!

Do you play with the elephant?

Pink Elephant challenges you dirty birdie. Every week there is a new one and this time it was to make a card using blue, green and white. I used more birdies, still can't stop with the birds. Perhaps I should get a stamp of a butterfly or something. But I still LOVE the birdies!!

I made my very own embellishment. I wrestled the polka dot flower from Titus who was laying under my table, added the flower and ribbon. Cute!!! I added some tiny twinkles to the birdie tail, then I cried, "I need tinyer twinkles!!! Tinyer!!!!" So, I got the littlest I could find.

I think this would be a great "thinking of you" card or just a little pick me up.
Enjoy!
