Whatta Hootski!

Today's card is based on Laura's sketch 22 over on 2 Sketches 4 You. I cut into some brand new American Crafts..stinkin' cute, huh?!! Here's a short story about that paper:

My Mom has me pegged...she compares me to my Uncle {her older brother} who is retired but was in banking all his life...very conservative when it comes to $$...here goes my translation of it: My Uncle will "need" 3 of something but he'll only buy 1....I'll "want" 3 of something and I'll buy 6...LOL. I'm trying to be better about it, really I am. Last week when I went into my local Ben Franklin craft store they had a whole bunch of new American Crafts Craft fair and backyard. I have 2 words for you: oy vey. My Mom would be so proud to hear that I only bought 3 sheets of paper...3 sheets...1 of 3 different designs...oh boy, I wanted to buy more...but I didn't, nope {deep breath}.

Those fun owls are cut from the American Crafts Craft Fair design called Lucy Hootski...isn't that fun?!!! Cracks me UP! They are sitting on a SU heart shaped chipboard that I daubbed white craft ink on...waited impatiently for it to dry then smeared Crystal Effects on it so that I could then pour dazzling diamonds on it. Everything is on glue dot pop dots...the chipboard heart is actually on double decker ones :)The buttons are my SEI after Christmas buy {sue-pah cheap!}..I've been really into making sentiment-less cards...

Remember to check back this weekend...I'll have some super blog candy up for grabs and you know what Sunday is....365 Cards Sketchy Sunday!!!
