HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! Make Us Laugh!

FIRST OF ALL, before I do ANYTHING else today I have to start by saying:

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, JOE!!

Today is our 11th Anniversary!!

Seems like the past eleven years have FLOWN by and I love being married today as much as I did 11 years ago!

I really believe that the secret to a great marriage is to keep 

a sense of humor no matter what!

So far, so good!

Now, on to the business of the day:

Have we got a treat for you this week at the Digi's with Attitude! Challenge Blog!


Cindy-Lynn is releasing 3 BRAND NEW lines of Digi's with Attitude!:


"Da Neckers"
"Zoo-A-tudes!" and
"Wrinkled Attitude!"


and they are all a RIOT!


Finally the "Attitude" has come back to DWA!


You'll have to pop over to the DWA Store and check out all the new releases this week!


For my card this week, I got to work with "Fred", one of "Da Neckers"!


You can't help it!
I know when you saw the inside of this card, you laughed!


You know you did!!

Our Challenge this week is

FUNNY SENTIMENTS!

Your job is to Make us Laugh!!

I used the sketch from my favorite new challenge blog: Stamping Vacation and added some eyelets to lace up the card, since Fred forgot to lace up his boots!

One random entry will be awarded 3 images of their choice from Chi Chi Memories

Fresh Brewed Beach Party Continues!

Partying and laughing in the sun
Waves rise and crash as the children run.
Girls in bikinis, a lemonade stand,
Wiggling our toes in the sand.
Summer is most fun; you'll see,
We get to play and be carefree.
Dreaming of mermaids and magical things,
We close our eyes as the ocean sings.
Sand, sun, ocean, fun;
Thank goodness Summer has just begun!

My first post for DtsArt Creative Team

Hi and welcome to my first post for DtsArt’s Creative Team!

Dardi and I have worked together for awhile on the Stamping Boutique team and have gotten to be good friends.

She offers a ‘Tuesday Takeout” on her blog every week.

The “Tuesday Takeout” is a FREE SVG Cut file!

I have been a follower and fan of her blog for several months!

This is the first project I ever made using one of her great FREE files.

After working with Red Bird, I was hooked for good!

When Dardi announced the Grand Opening of the Diecut Designers Forum and was seeking a few members for her Creative Team, I jumped on the chance to work with her files!

Our first set of files as the New Creative Team is a pair of adorable Bunnies

Here is the project I made with these little cuties:

The files cut and assembled so easily and were a lot of fun to work with!

Yes, despite all the drama circulating the web, I am still using my Cricut E and I plan to do so until the wheels fall off. I use SCAL 2, which does not have any compatibility issues with my Cricut, and I love the flexibility and creativity that is allowed by using SCAL! It’s unfortunate that ProvoCraft did not choose to work WITH the third party software providers rather than raise lawsuits and negativity. I think we would have all been better off had they chosen to do so… but I won’t go into all that here or now…

Since Easter has passed, I decided to find a way to use Bunnies that had nothing to do with eggs, chocolate and baskets! My niece and nephew are in Rochester, NY and I think their Mommy will let them hang these on their doors!

The Creative Team has made some some great projects… you’ll have to pop in to see them all the the DtsArt Blog! And while you’re there, make sure you grab this week’s FREE file! The leftovers are thrown out Thursday, so don’t dilly-dally… hop right over and grab your bunnies!
