and because of that we're dealing with INSANITY today.
Insanity I say! But it's wonderful. Truly wonderful.
And, it's nothing that...
• Diet Pepsi & Baked Lays potato chips (for Ms. Laura)
• iced tea & Jelly Bellys (for Mr. Doss)
• Sonic Coke and tots (for Sweet Justin)
and
• iced coffee & black licorice (for yours truly)
can't get us through!
So before I head out to grab a bite of lunch - how about a quickie?
I mean a quick "Que Kay a New Way" idea! {blush}
Crafty Deb sent this idea in the other day...and it's been hanging on my bulletin board all week long. So cute!
Have I TOAD you lately...
the inside of the card could go a million ways...
"how much I love you"
"how much I miss you"
"that you're a great kid"
"that I appreciate you"
"that if you don't learn to put the toilet seat down soon, we're going to have major issues"
Okay - well, you get the idea. I just love ideas that are so versatile!
Here is what she used:
• QK Butterfly (she used only the small, inside shape of the wings - but cut it out twice. It's like getting two sizes of butterflies for the price of one!)
• QK Citrus Slices (using only the very center of the orange, and cutting it twice to make the dandelion)
• QK Hotdog (she used just the mustard "squiggle" for the stem...but lots of dies would work for this kind of shape!)
• QK Flower w/ leaves (currently out of stock, I'm sorry to say...but look around, you should be able to find another leaf that works too!)
• Bosskut Frog (just love this little guy's smile!)
• Bosskut Grass
• Bosskut Sun
It sounds like a lot of "ingredients", but it really goes together quite quickly! And the variety you can get out of this. Mind numbing!
In fact, speaking of variety...with just a couple of extra cuts from the Bosskut Grass die, you can turn this ordinary green frog into a dashing red-headed frog.
Remind you of anyone you know-or-speak-to-when-you-call-Scrap-Mart??
THIS is actually the one I have pinned above my desk. We've decided to make him our office mascot. And we're going to point to it whenever certain people are acting a bit "toadish".
So there you go. An idea to spark some creativity. Maybe you've seen something new that you feel you have to try out. A die you've never even considered before. Now is the time to "jump". Today and tomorrow, for sure!
behave yourselves...
