Scrapping the Music - Every Time We Touch

 This week's song for the challenge over at Scrapping the Music is 

Every Time We Touch by Cascada (from the movie, "Final Fantasy").

I didn't get very far into the song to know exactly which lyrics I was gonna scrap...

My Mom will have been gone 9 years this March, but I still hear her voice...

Here's a close-up of the picture, hard to imagine her being so young.

Dressmaker's Form

There was a new sketch posted at the Frantic Stamper blog on Sunday!

I used the sketch in a portrait orientation, 

so I could fit the main image on the front of the card.

Unfortunately, you can't tell this in the photo, 

the mannequin is layered with double stick foam tape

to create a 3-D effect!

Supplies used:

Hot Off the Press Floral Boutique 3-D paper tole foil die cuts 

from the Frantic Stamper online store

Hambly Overlay Frame Wallpaper

ZvaCreative.com Self-Adhesive Crystal swirl

Canvass Corp Black & Kraft Ribbon Stripe cardstock

7gypsies - Fortunes The Story rub-ons "Once upon a time"

black cardstock

foam tape

adhesive

This was pretty fun to make!!!

I was going to give it away, but I think I'll keep it!
I might even frame it!

: .)

Let the Good Times Roll!!!

Happy Mardi Gras!!!

: .)

Tickle Me!

that got your attention, didn't it?!

while I love the original LMFAO version of this song, 

which was described to me as "disturbingly hilarious,"

the kid-friendly version is giggle-worthy too!

(especially the "I make art" part!!!  LOL!)

Happy V-Day!!!

Wishing my friends a
Happy Heart Day!

I hope its filled with chocolate, love & irony!

I just have to share the Valentines card I received from a sweet girl named Emma!

Me & the girl, we love our bling!!!

<3

I gotta go take a pain pill b/4 the anesthetic wears off!

My love for the day is an ice pack!

LoL!!!

in the house.

Thanks to Suman, who knows I love

Cholay (Curried Chickpeas)

and made me a batch this weekend.

Thanks to Joe & Aldien who are the keepers of my spare house key.

Thanks to P who listens to all my (email) rants.

Thanks to my girlfriends who know just when to email me.
