Get Well

This faux tissue box get well card is a favorite of mine because it is so easy to make. It also folds flat for mailing. When people see it they get excited and note that you could fit one of those mini packets of tissues in them. Ah.... but then it wouldn't lay flat for mailing.

This one does because it is just a few sheets of buns' wipe* tucked in there.

*Buns' wipe also known as loo roll, bum wad, arsewipe, ass napkins, toilet roll, TP or toilet paper; formerly known as last year's Sears and Roebuck catalog.

Triple Threat Ice Cream

I've been having this thing for ice cream lately, which isn't odd given that it has been in the one hundred and teens for temperature, but is odd given the belly ache it gives me. So I decided to make do with paper ice cream (which is sort of like paper dolls, but not really).

I had this card base die cut and decorated with the designer paper lying around for an unnaturally long time so I finally finished it off with my triple threat ice cream. I even made a matching envelope.

The Fine Print: I suspect the die is Sizzix (I don't have it) and the ice cream is DeNami Designs. And I can't eat ice cream because I have no gall bladder and can't eat high in fat foods, not because I'm lactose intolerant. I'm so tired of people giving me that brother-in-arms lactose intolerant buddies high five. Shut up and pass me the cheese. 

Minty Moose

I'd forgotten all about this darling card I made at a friend's house until I uncovered it the other day. Here I was thinking this wasn't an appropriate time to share a moose, but then the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge came along and told me it was the best time to share a moose.

And you can't argue with that logic, now can you?!

Mail Bag Monday - June 26

This week's mail started off with a contest participation prize--how fun is that?!

Then these swap cards came in to brighten my week.

Patriotic Pig - TTT03

It's time to play Tic Tac Toe again. This time I went for a diagonal flight from the top to the bottom. My card base is blue, I've wrapped twine (and tied a persnickety bow) and I laid many many rectangular wood planks onto my card.

I was inspired by a card I saw where wood grain paper had been cut into planks and placed on the card. I thought I'd change that up but using different colored and textured woods for mine in patriotic red, white, and blue.

Once my card was done I thought it was rather ridiculous, but in the way that makes you laugh and puts a smile on your face. I call that a win!

Speaking of winning, did you see that I was chosen as a Designer Pick for my last TTT entry? How cool is that!
