The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round......

This is Harlee's first year riding a school bus.  The reason she's riding the bus is a two-parter...first, its time for her to spread her wings (after all, she is a 6th grader) and secondly, I really dont want to have to drive and then wait in that pick up line....arrgghhh!!!  She actually loves riding the bus.  Harlee is a social butterfly and it just gives her more time to socialize.  This card is also a two-parter, I made it for Harlee and also its a challenge card over at Cricut Cardz Challenge blog.  See challenge #37. So, what are you waiting for? Jump on the bus and ride over there and give it a GO....you'll be happy you did!!!!

Until later, other taxi moms..........Gotta (ride) split.........TFL!!!!!

***Addendum to this post......arrrgghhh, I forgot a color....ORANGE.***

and I forgot to tell you the cricut cart. I used for the bus.....

(Stretch your Imagination)

Preserved sweetness................

This is what I have been doing lately......making preserves.

Of course, I had to make labels for them all.....bwahahahahahahaha.

I made fig preserves, fig syrup, and blackberry preserves.....yummmmmmmy!!!!

We have just about finished a jar of fig preserves already....lol.

I remember growing up and my granny (Mama Lena) making fig preserves.... Papa Ray would pick the figs and he would replace the netting back on the fig tree/bush so the birds couldn't snatch those precious amber globes.  Us, grandkids snuck a few off the tree though......!!!! Ahhh, 'sweet' memories!!!!

Until later, sweeties..............Gotta split...............TFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun in the "Pagoda".......

Sounds kinda 'kinky'..... huh?

Bwahahahahahahaha, nope just good clean fun using the Pagoda cricut cart.  Flowerdisco's Scrap Hut is having a challenge.....swim on over and take a peek.

I have been lurking under the water at her blog for a while now......decided it was time to get my head above the water, take a breather and join in the fun. 

Dive on in and follow the deets for the challenge.....see ya there!!!!

{All puns intended....bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!}

Here are the deets for my card: I used the fish on page 42......the swirl-ies at on the botom of the paper is from a stamp that I bought at Michael's a while back in the dollar bin. 

Used a white gel pen for highlighting and distressed the edges with ink.... added some ribbon.

Until later, my little minnows........Gotta {swim} split.............TFL!!!!

Franken-tastic.......

Frankie is giving you some 'black eyed susans'.........Bwahahahahahahah!!!

'eye' love the Mini Monsters cricut cart.  Halloween is one of my fave holidays.....after all!!!!  'eye' made this card for my chance to be on the Pink Cricut design team.  She asked that you design a card that would go with one of her stamp sets. Betcha can guess which set 'eye' made this card to go with......LOL 
 Just click on the link to scoot on over and check out all the deets for the DT.....{hint...the link is Pink}.....Bwahahahahahaha.
'EYE' think it turned out pretty cute!!!!!

Keeping my newts toes and witches fingers crossed........
see ya there.

Until later, Frankie's brides.............Gotta split...............TFL!!!!

OoooooOOoooooOOOo...(flap, flap, flap)..oooooooOOOOooo

Can't you just hear the wind blowing and the wings

'a flutter'.....Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!

Fly on over to Haunted Design House and enter the challenge for this week.  You have to include something with wings into your design .....the challenge is called AFLUTTER. 

Super fun,  super scary and super easy........!!!!!!  The stamp set I used is from SU!.... I just love that creepy tree. I used versamark and embossed the tree with Ranger walnut stain distressing embossing powder (sorry...not sure if you can get it anymore.).The bats and the border are from an older MS border punch.  I used a circle punch for the moon and the fence is a MS border punch too. All that is missing is a tombstone, but that was an afterthought and I didnt feel like going back to add it. I distressed the edges with chocolate chip ink, added some ribbon and tada!!!!!!!

Until later, batzellas................Gotta (fly)split..............TFL!!!!!!

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............

........looks like Jeff is taking a nap.  Or as he tells me, he's just resting his eyes...bwahahahahahahahaha!!

Yeah, right!!!!  

I made this little cutie for his birthday (which is Saturday).  I know what you are thinking....  he may see this before his b'day.  Nope, no worries.....he doesn't visit my blog, I doubt he remembers the name of it.  bwahahahahahahaha!!!

I think the image is from Hambo Stamps, but I can't be sure about that....please let me know if you know for sure.  I colored it with color pencils, OMS and a stump.

The sentiment on the inside says.......you walk into an antique store and the first words out of your mouth are..."Hey, I remember that ! "

Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Until later, fellow nappers.........Gotta split..............TFL!!!!!!

No 'croak' about it........

Jeff's birthday is the 7th and he's turning 52.  I made this card using Mini Monsters cricut cart. for Harlee to send to her daddy.  I embossed the base, added all the layers and, of course, we had to add some googly eyes.  Love the Mini Monsters cart..... there is a card option for most of the images......awesome!!!!

Until later, princesses................Gotta split.........TFL!!!!!
