Sleepover...and a blog update

My husband has been in Hawaii for about a week and a half and won't be home for another week and a half! Sooooo, Tia and I are having a sleepover with a couple of girls from gym and one of the coaches :O) I know, it sounds funny, but being old school, I asked one of the gymnasts if she had ever seen the movie, "American Anthem". She never heard of it! OMG...I LOVE that movie! LOL. I explained to her that it was the original gymnastics movie (before "Stick It") with Mitch Gaylord. Needless to say, she never heard of Mitch Gaylord either! Of course she hasn't...that would make me feel YOUNG...not like an old hag :O)

So, we set a "date" for the sleepover to watch the VHS movie, American Anthem. I hope I can figure out how to hook up the VCR to the new TV :| LOL...my husband will kill me if I mess up his TV :O)


Oh, and a quick blog update if you didn't notice. I found that I have a lot of family and friends who swing by my blog but don't get into a habit of posting comments. Sooooo, I added a chatbox to my left side bar. Please feel free to leave me a message! I'll respond directly in the chatbox so that you can refer to it later.


Okay, I'm off to clean house, bathe the puppies, and wash my car. Hopefully before I pick up my daughter from practice :O) Now that's FUNNY! LOL
Knowing me, I'll walk by the craft room and end up making a card instead!

Wish me luck!

Birthday Posies

I guess I'm on a birthday card kick this weekend :O) I fell in LOVE with the card that Debbie Olson had published in the recent Paper Crafts' Card Creations Vol 2 magazine (page 57). I love the background paper she created using Lisa Johnson's PTI Flower Garden stamp set. So, I CASEd the handmade DP and created a birthday card. I'm quickly finding that I can never have too many birthday cards on hand!

I stamped the flowers with Pink Pirouette, and stamped both the leaves and the swirl with Mellow Moss. The sentiment is stamped in Riding Hood Red. I added vellum over the DP to soften the look, scalloped and folded over the Mellow Moss CS, added some satin ribbon (from Michaels) and adhered to the base Pink Pirouette CS.


Supplies are listed in my SCS gallery. Hope you had a wonderful weekend :O)
