Hello

Well, hello there!

Short post today, as I am packing a box for Afghanistan for dear SIL and his troops.  

Wanted to include a bit of fun today, so I decorated some Tic Tac boxes.  

Hero Arts "Hello", Copic Markers, Jillibean Soup Twine, Tic Tacs, Bless You stamp from Great Impressions, DP strip from Simple Stories.

These were so easy - just used a Hero Arts stamp and some Copic colors on Kraft CS on the outside, stamped a heartfelt sentiment for the inside, and ta-da!  Not my idea - found where I'd sketched this out on a piece of scratch paper eons ago, and don't have any source for the original idea. 

I am going to enter this in the challenge at A Blog Names Hero.  The challenge is "The Krafty Crafter" (use Kraft CS or colors), and I did!  Ironically, I've also used a Hero Arts stamp!  Don't you love it when that happens?

Off to tape up a box...

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Someone to Annoy...

Hi there, and Happy Monday!

Here's a cute 'just because' card.  I saw this at Bugaboo, and it made me giggle.  What a cute sentiment for just that right friend or family member :)

This fun image comes all in one piece - frame and all.
It's colored with Copic Markers,and mounted on Amuse cardstock.  

Added a few 'nailheads' from my stash.
A bit of Jillibean Soup twine is the perfect

finishing touch for a very quick and easy CAS card.

Hope it gave you a giggle or two, as well.

Thanks for stopping by,

Beary Cute Birthday

Hi there!
Thanks for dropping by today.


I have a really quick cute card for you today.
I am not kidding at all about the quick...seriously.


Once I had the printing of the image and DP's done, the card took 5 minutes and 13 seconds.
That included using the spellbinders!


I think that Laurie's pre-colored images at Doodle Pantry are the best things EVER
for a cute, speedy greeting to someone special!



This little critter is "Beary Cute", and you can find it at the Doodle Pantry Store.
Baker's twine is Jillibean soup. CS is Bazzill Basics.


Thanks again for stopping by!
Check back over the weekend for some itty bitty blog candy!

Hugs and smiles to all,
Patti J.

Food for thought: Why did the farmer use a steamroller on his farm?
He was trying to raise mashed potatoes!
