ur special...

on

Pam has an excellent sketch for you to try!!!

I've had the Nutmeg 6x6'er for awhile along with the chippies...you gotta always get the chippies! I didn't realize how much the holidays took me away from my other papers...

I had sooo much fun putting this together. I'm getting together with a bunch of my peeps next Saturday...it's an annual tradition. We go in early January to scout out the good deals:) I'll be doing a ton of "window shopping" this year...gotta save up my funds for my CHA trip with Torendi!!

This will be going to one of my peeps...we'll be celebrating her belated birthday.

Here's what the card looks like that pops into the pocket:



What would I do without my thickers??!! I did a smidge of fun zig zag stitching...

I have to chuckle, last night I played on the Wii...specifically Dance Dance Revolution...I'm proud to say that I got an AA on one of the songs {that's good, right? I just started using it..if it isn't, don't tell me...LOL}...whew... hey, for a 40+ year old mom of 2, I'm patting myself on the back....LOL...it is quite the work out...the kids laughed at my song choices...but hey, I had so much FUN:)

Oh gosh, that card is adorable. Didn't think of using it to add a tag within! You are a queen when it comes to using Cosmo Cricket papers!

Oh too stinkin' cUte!!! Isn't it great when you can pull out a goodie that you haven't used in a bit??!!

As for the wii....we don't have Dance Revolution, so can't comment (though...you now have me curious....well, except for the fact that I have two left feet...lol), but we put in the wii fit plus that Hubby got from his Mom over Christmas last night and oh my! We had a blast trying everything out, but I don't think I'll soon forget the image of him flapping his wings/arms to get his mii, dressed like a chicken, to fly....talk about a fit of giggles!! :> Have fun dancing the night away!

Girl... your card is awesome! I love it! So cute! All of your cards lately are cute... I love your embellish one too! I can't seem to stay caught up these days! I saw where you were talking about getting published... that is one reason that I can't stay caught up. I am working on subs for 2 card calls (when I actually get to stamp)... maybe after Jan. 11, I will do better about keeping up with everyone! :)

This is so cute! I had the nutmeg papers but gave them away to a friend. Now I see your card, I want them back! LOL Have fun at CHA. I cannot go again this year as it's always the week of or week before my annual girls retreat. With my migraine situation I cannot do two big things back to back. Stinks when you get a chance to go and and it's in driving distance!
