Good morning ladies!
It’s a gorgeous day here… sun is shining bright, not a cloud in the sky, and my youngest dd actually slept in! I didn’t of course.. lol! But did get a bit of time to myself which is a rarity around here!
So today I have 3 things I need to post.. 4 actually.. my CPS card, some blog candy, a few tags, and reply to a ? from the other day about my ‘baby booties’!
So.. let’s start with CPS!! Sketch went up bright and early today, since I was up and haven’t had much time to scrap, I decided to try it out! I went with a masculine card.. not sure how I feel about it.. they’re not really my forte, but hey.. can’t win ‘em all!
You can see the newest CPS sketch here:
http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/2008/08/cps76.html
CPS # 76
As for materials.. I honestly have NO idea who makes the pp.. it was a RAK! Sorry ladies! The stickers are SR, twine is from M’s, Button is misc. and the chipboard is SR too I believe.. that’s about it on this one! Super simple!! Oh! The punch.. A yummy new Martha Stewart punch I picked up at Micheal’s yesterday… love these border punches lately.. my absolute fave!
*****
Now onto the blog candy… just some random goodies to share! *YUM* MME Garden Party pp, some Magnolia Images, twine, (my newest love.. lol!) some blossoms, chipboard, a journaling stamp set, etc… All you have to do to get your name put in to win this is leave a comment, simple as that! If you post about my blog candy on your blog i’ll put your name in 2x! I’ll have the drawing on Wednesday, Aug. 6th. Good luck!
*Editing to add: This blog candy is open to everyone, everywhere.. can’t leave my friends from ‘over the pond’ out now can I? lol!!
*Sorry for the bad pic… wanted to take it nice & early before dd was up.. such is life.
~@~ Blog Candy! ~@~
*****
Now I have to do a few ’tags’ that i’ve been meaning to do! lol! I was tagged by 4 people in the last week, and I *believe* they’re all the same tag… so i’ll go with this tag and hope i’m right! haha!!
The Nitty Gritty details:
It’s a random tag, and here are the rules!
1. Link to the person who ‘tagged’ you!
2. Post the rules on your blog!
3. List 6 random facts about yourself!
4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post!
5. Let each person know they have been tagged by commenting on their blog!
6. Let the tagger know the entry is posted on your blog!
I was tagged by the following awesome scrappers… be sure to check out their blogs.. truly beautiful and inspiring work!! *DROOL* lol!
1. Christine from Creative Journey, whom is also on the 2 Sketches DT with me!
2. Lea from Cupcakes & Sunshine!
3. Kath from All that Glitters!
4. Donna from ScrappingDonna!
And.. that’s it for the newest ones.. I hope i’m caught up! lol!!
Ok.. now 6 random facts about myself:
1. I very much “dislike” the colour purple.. yuck!
2. All my girls names start with the letter “M”.. I have a thing for M names.. lol!
3. I found my first ‘grey’ hair about 1 yr ago.. *GASP* I pulled it out tought and haven’t found any since.. *blush* rotfl!!
4. When I was 18 I desperately wanted a tattoo of Betty Boop! Didn’t go through with it.. which i’m thankful for.. tat’s and extra peircings really aren’t me. I’ll leave them to my mom and sister! hahaha!!
5. My son was named after the NFL team Dallas Cowboys… (don’t blame me.. dh talked me into it) but Dallas is such a cool name! I love it! Although it took dh years to talk me into it.. before I even though about having kids!
6. I’ve never been on a plane before.. never. ever. lol! But Michy swears one day we’re going on vacation and is gonna make me fly… But really.. how’s she gonna “
make” me..
Now I get to tag 6 people.. who would I like to
inflict, er.. uh.. bestow this wonderful honour upon…
I’m gonna start with my best friend Michy.. just ’cause she HATES tags & she specifically told me not to… *Whistle* .. and after all.. what are friends for? Rotfl!!
#1 – Michy!! Whom is the resident Card DT genius the Lil’ Scrappers!
#2 – Lisa!! She rocks my world! LOL!!
#3 – Heidi!! Just cause i know she’ll love this tag…
*insert evil smilie here*
#4 – Hanneke!! Beautiful creations here! Don’t miss!
#5 – Ingrid!! I love this girl!! Also on the 2 Sketches DT with me!!
#6 – Kim!! Kim makes the absolute *COOLEST* stuff! Fabulous cards, altered items, jewelry, you name it! lol!
And that’s it for my tags!
*****
Now this one is directed to the lovely Adrienne who left such sweet comments on my DT Reveal the other day and would like a template for the baby booties I posted! You’re in luck my dear!
You can find the template for the girl & boy baby booties here!
Have fun making them!!
*****
Ok… that’s it for today ladies! Time to get something productive accomplished today..
lol! Have a wonderful Sunday!!! Back tomorrow!
