Amuse card challenge #37 Lots of Dots

This weeks challenge is to make a card using dots. Last nite I bought some new awesome amuse stamps and I think it came out cute. It was very basic and simple and I didn't use any glitter (shocking!) or ribbon.

The Cover-Up...

I went yesterday to have my old tatoo I got 25 years ago covered-up. What a difference from 25 years ago to today. Back then, you had to be 18 but they never checked ID's. You always wanted to be the first tattoo of the day so you'd be sure to get a clean needle. Girls getting tattoo'd was not very common. This time, I had to show them my license for identification, sign a waiver & get a new needle out of the package just for me! I'm no longer in the minority. Lots of girls get tattoos now. Jeremy was great, I told him what I wanted and gave him a few pic for ideas but he is so artistic that he drew up his own interpretation and it was perfect. It was better than anything else I could think of. His challenge was that he had to completely cover-up my old one. I think he succeeded. I have 2 others that are even older but they're in a place no one will ever need to see...

Amuse Weekly Challenge #35

This weeks challenge is "go to". This is to make a card with your "go to" or dependable stamp that use alot. Well, I'm not so sure I have one of those since I recently started stamping cards again. I chose to use my favorite stamps at the moment that I've been enjoying using alot. I used the Amuse IPod stamp and the "You Rock" sentiment for this challenge. I love it so much because you can glitter the ipod any color to match your card you want and it always looks good.

Weekly Card Challenge #34

The challenge this week on the Amuse Addicts group is "Spring has sprung". The sentiment and the ground oval I used are Amuse stamps. The chicks and plant stamps are from 2 different Stampin' Up sets!.

The label maker

You know those commercials for the label makers? The one's where they're so addictive, the people in them label everything in the house...including the children? Well, they couldn't be more accurate! I bought one at Costco yesterday and proceeded to lable a few things in my scraproom. An hour later, I must have made 30 labels! I did manage to contain myself. Kyla came down to help me and she wanted to label everything in site. Everyone needs to get one of these!

Looky what Jessy Did!

Hard to believe. My youngest who's been telling me for years that she'll NEVER get her ears pierced did the unthinkable! I know she always wanted to but it was pure fear that was keeping her from actually doing it. She would periodically tell me she wanted to do it and she was ready but of course if was always during softball season or cheering when she couldn't wear earrings so she'd have to wait until the season was over. Well, by the time it was over, she had changed her mind...convenient, huh?

Jessy slept over my sisters in Medford on Easter and the day after she went shopping at the mall with my other sister, my mother and other daughter Kyla. Christine had given Jessy a gift certificate for her birthday to Claire's so from what I hear, she was convince it was the perfect time to get her ears pierced. The first Claire's they went to wouldn't do it since her mother wasn't with her. They then went to another Claire's and proceeded to pretent that my sister Diane was her mother. (Diane, I have forged documents in my hot little hands!) The girl at the store started the ear piercing process with the first ear when Jessy decided to move her head and pull the earring! Luckily she didn't mess it up. The tears were flowing and she started to panic. Jessy had to be pulled back from the edge and was finally convinced to do the other ear. Not sure who held it but her head wall held still so she couldn't jump or pull on the second one.

Of course I wasn't there so there are no pics of this momentous occassion or all the tears so I took one when she got home. It was a drama filled day.
