Hippo Birdie Two Ewes

Hey everyone!!

Today was a rough day... I woke up feeling terrible. I was really tired, my throat hurt, my entire body had that achey feeling, and I was feeling a little sick. I went to work because it wasn't bad enough where I wouldn't be able to each. But maybe I should have... I had a really hard time with my kids today :( It just really amazes me the attitude some of them have and the blatent lack of respect I get from so many of them. It makes me sad that they are so angry so young... Then I went to the sprint store with my dad because my phone has been restarting itself for the past several months and I've finally had enough of it. It's to the point where it's almost like having a paperweight since it restarts when I do anything. The guy told me he did a hard reset and it should be better, so we went home. I was trying to input all my contacts back into my phone and it started to reset itself AGAIN! So we took it back to the sprint store and they told me they would replace it for free since I had to come back. But the phone is on backorder so I have to wait a couple more days... I'm glad that I'll get a new phone and I don't have to pay for it, but I'm just so frustrated with the way today went. I didn't even get home until about 8. Now I'm watching Pretty Little Liars, and then I'm going to spend some time with Andy and head to bed a little early maybe. I hope so at least.

Anyway, I promised to keep catching up with my pictures. But today I'm going to show you the video I made instead, and tomorrow I'll post more pictures :)

Anyway, that's all for tonight. I hope you enjoy the video!!

Halloween Cards

Hey!

I started a new project today, 3x3 mini note cards. I finished the actual cards, but I think I'm going to print out a monogram A for them before I call them finished. Hopefully I'll have time to do that tomorrow, plus make the box to put them in (inspired by Mary at www.cardztv.blogspot.com). This is my second set, so I'll post a picture of both when I'm done! I think I'm going to make a set for each of my coworkers at school that I'm close with and give them to them for Christmas. They're really easy and don't take too long to make. I'm becoming obsessed with them, so I'm sure you'll see many more sets to come. I'm going to a scrapbook club with my Stampin-Up demonstrator tomorrow though, so not sure I'll be able to finish tomorrow :( Last week was our first meeting, and because of the specials, we had to meet again so soon. I'll post pictures of both layouts. Kits to make them are available for $8.

Anyway, I wanted to start posting a couple of my cards. Since Halloween is over, I'll start with these.

I made about 5 of these cards and sent them out to people. I kept one to save in my stash to look at later. 

Card base - Orange Zest by Papertrey Ink

Blue Mat - Core'dinations paper embossed with the seeing spots folder

Ribbon (which I later tied a knot onto - I ran out while making these) from Joann Fabric

Hello Kitty cut out from Hello Kitty Greetings at I think 4 1/2. 

Sentiment from My Pink Stamper Stamps Spooky Puns (www.mypinkstamper.com)

Stickles used for the glitter on the kitty.

Heat embossed with clear sparkly embossing powder

I only made one of these, though I wish I had made more. 

All paper used was Core'dinations (which I absolutely love!!!)

Witch bird cut from 3 Birds on Parade

Ribbon from papertry ink

I also used the Drippy Goo Punch by Martha Stewart

Stamp sentiment from My Pink Stamper Spooky Puns (www.mypinkstamper.com)

The background mat was sanded to show the under color. 

That's it for now, but I've got more and I'll post them tomorrow! Have a wonderful night :)
