All I need is a flamingo

I've been working with Nifty Fifties this week and was already in the pink/turquoise mode when I started this project.

After I finished it, I felt it needed a flamingo somewhere on it but I simply ran out of time.

This card is for another fabulous BBTB2 challenge.

DT Sister, Jeri, asked us to use both an ornament and the "Deck the Halls" sentiment from Winter Frolic.

Check out the other designs and play along with the challenge.

The Christmas photo practice session

I didn't want a repeat of last year's Christmas photo disaster so I'm planning something a little different.

We're going to do the pictures at home this year.



Erik and I hit Michael's today and bought a few Christmas pieces and some fake poinsettias. Fake because I know Sookie would try to eat real ones.

I set up the scene but didn't feel like dealing with Kat's hair so we just practiced with what she was already wearing. One thing I've already learned is that we're going to have to put the dogs inside when we do this. Zoe wants to get in the picture and/or have her ball thrown. She drops it on the bench and waits. Liberty likes to walk back and forth in front of the camera just to be annoying and Gigi is always trying to lick my hand.

I have cacti needles in my leg because I moved the bench too close to the Cow's Tongue Prickly Pear.

So...no dogs and move the bench up. Got it. We'll try it again after I figure out how to get the big knot of hair out of Kat's head.

Any suggestions?

Just like E.T.

This is what Katrina's bed looks like when it's made. Do you see Sookie?

Attitude

Thanks, Donna, for the Attitude Award. ;)




According to the rules, it looks like I'm supposed to list 3 things that make me different and nominate 5 others with attitudes.

Hmmmm....

1. I say what's on my mind which sometimes gets me in big trouble.
2. I'm inspired by the darkest music around,
3. I don't feel like answering anymore questions.

Now, to nominate 5...

I have no choice but to nominate Carole. I know that Donna already did, but this woman really has some attitude and deserves to be nominated at least twice. :)

I'm also adding Theresa to the list. She has the most positive attitude known to man. She always adds a smile to my face.

Karen has the same taste for blood and gore that I do. She is my long lost sister and she deserves the attitude award as well.

Linda, because well, she's like my best friend.

Can I nominate Donna again?

Thanks for the award!!

Spicing up the World

I finally have my laptop back so now I can post all the projects I've been working on.

I think I should get some sort of point or something for using a really old product...decorative twistee ties. ;)

That's it for now! Thanks for visiting and thanks so much for your comments. If you don't follow my blog, please do. I'll be having a giveaway when I get to 200 followers.

Hello Kitty Santa

This week at BBTB2, I asked the designers to use the Hello Kitty Santa from the Hello Kitty Greetings cart.

I used the card function for mine. I flocked the hat and the boots and used antique glass glitter. Am I the only that cuts herself on the glass glitter?

Check out the other designs here.

Some new vintage cut outs

Peggy Loves Vintage has some new Christmas Cut-Outs.



Aren't they cute!! I love working with Peggy's images. They print out so clear and she always has the cutest images. If you've never ordered from her before, you should! Christmas would be the perfect time to experiment as she has a zillion different images.

I cut this little guy out with one of my Nesties, matted it and then put the whole thing on a gigantic-o bottle cap. I smashed the bottle cap with a rubber mallet to flatten it out a bit. I'm not sure who makes the bottle cap, but I got it as one of my free gifties from Blue Moon Scrapbooking. When you order, you always get a free giftie.

Big deer

There's a new neighbor down the street with one of these fake deers in her front yard.

Trent has been wanting to get in his Indian costume and pose next to it for weeks now.



Well, we knocked on her door on Halloween and introduced ourselves. She gave the kids some candy and we asked if Trent could pose with the deer for a picture.

She was so nice and let us do it. Trent, at first, wanted us to take a picture of him from across the yard, behind a tree, aiming at the deer with his bow and arrow. I was mortified but the lady laughed it off. I didn't have that kind of lens on anyway, so I made him stand next to the deer and be nice.

She invited us to come over anytime and see the other 4 or so deer she has in her backyard.
