My Chaotic Realm

This is a good card for today, since it is my birthday!! I will celebrate that I completed another year... that Rebel comes home from Galveston today... that I don't have anywhere I HAVE to be tonight... that all my babies have shelter, food & water... that I got to spend a great day with my folks... that I have a job that I like... that my friends are well... this is bleach paper, RS image, 2 words stamps embossed :-) have a blessed day! & click on title if you want to watch a video!

this is an embossing folder from Cuttlebug, run thru the sizzix... I just LOVE that it is mechanical & can therefor use all the other items/brands out there! Same one, 3 times, 3 ways. sorry 1st is a bit blurry...that is EP on the bird, blue, of course.

a scrap of pink paper, stamped a frame from the sizzix die cut machine fluid chalk to ink up the edges DTP pink cardbase rubberstamp "Best Wishes & emboss in back EP and now, off to mom's for my last day of vacation! After all the babies are fed, watered, scooped & cleaned.... :-)

after spending $175, the AC is up & running... nothing like a memorial day holiday with it being 90 degrees in your house... so we went to see Star Trek (2009)...great movie!! This is another of my bleach papers, scrap ribbon, rubber stamp crane from CapeArago EASY

I know, it is not even June yet & I am showing you 4th of July cards! But, as I upload these, I go in ABC order, so this is what you get! I spent Friday off (vacation) and made about 2 dozen cards to take to Market that afternoon. Saturday I had a friend come over to finish up a scrapbook so I got mine in order as well (2 for 0-16 & 1 for football)... Whew! Sunday was a trip to town, new moon observation, then discovering the AC had frozen up... sigh... glad it is not raining since we have ALL the windows WIDE OPEN. Argh.

I love this quote, shows up on lots of my art. Speaking of art, my main art group (Nervousness) site has not been up since Thursday ... concerns me. Last time that happened ('97? '98?) all of the info on the site was lost. I swap a lot of art over there and it is a group of people that I just would miss so much! I have most of the snails I need to complete trades but still... the daily interaction is a large part of the artistic community. And, speaking of community, Peace is coming over around 10am to scrapbook... as is another friend later in the morning. All critters have been fed/watered/cleaned so now it is time for me to start making some decos that are due out for the June round of swaps.

ah, waking up to Daughtry...I do like that band :-) Today is the 1st day of my vacation! Staycation, I should call it... staying at home, working on weeds, scrapbook, cards, a run to the market, etc. This card, if you can see the detail, has been embossed over the entire background. The butterfly is vellum put on w/3D dots & glitter over the glue dots. The phrase is a sticker. Easy!
