Keep your Panties off My Plane!

I'm flying this week. I'm going to Stampin' Up! Leadership (pauses for squeals and applause)! Yes, please stay tuned here, and on Twitter and Facebook for up to the minute news from Stampin' Up! It should be fantastic! I'll post pics and breaking news as is my usual style, and the antics of various friends, including Dana and Monique.

Anyway, it's a nervewracking time to travel, but just a few blue thoughts on that.

We can't all hide in our houses from these freaks. Nobody is more apprehensive about flying than me to begin with, trust me, much less right now. But the pantybombers win if we stop living our normal, everyday American lives because a bunch of cave dwelling scumbags are driven to do evil deeds by some poor genetic construction or bad water or sand fleas or whatever.

So, just pray for all the fun girls traveling to be together this week, and know, if something happens to me, that I guarantee you I'll be one of the people who have made the last few moments of the pinkpantybomber's life extremely difficult. :)

So we will move on to serious subjects like fully functional blue paper ladybugs, shall we?

My sister-in-law is having a baby in March, and I am having a little shower for her this month. I wanted to do something fun for the invites, so I stole an idea from Libby for these little ladybugs.

They're so easy to do! I cut the blue and black pieces together with the scallop die for the Big Shot, and then cut the blue one in half. The inside (white) is with the other scallop die that has three sizes. I punched half inch spots for the outside.

I engineered mine slightly differently than Libby's so that I could have a little popup head. I used my 1 3/8" punch to punch part of a circle out of the top of the wings. This way, when I attached the head with dimensionals, the wings could swing free of the head (half of a 1 3/4" circle.) The antennae are from the Swirly Sizzlits die. So here they are closed, without and with the head.

And here's the headless one so that you can see how the wings work.

The inside is stamped with Sincere Salutations and Buggies and Booties. They fit in a standard envelope! Whee!

Now for some sad news. we are going to have to check Splotchy into some sort of rehab.

We ordered Austin's Pizza the other night. I had a GREAT customer service experience with them on Twitter after part of our order was wrong, so they are a peachy company and they make DELICIOUS food! Their pizza rolls put Double Dave's to shame, in my opinion.

Anyway, after we ate, Splotchy went completely nuts over the little packages of cheese and peppers! Possibly, the reason everyone says Austin's Pizza is so good is that their food is filled with CATNIP!! :D

Here is the picture of Splotchy's gateway drug experience...

Oh, what is this? It smells delicious.
Oh. Oh my. I must rub my face on this. I can't get enough of it!Wow - the room is spinning.Whoa, man! I feel funny - I can't feel my LEGS! I am SOOOO David Hasselhoffed UP right now!Ohhh.... THUNK.Luckily, he has a good support system. :)It's Make me Laugh Monday - how bout you make me laugh in a comment to kick off the week, and I'll send you something from MEMENTO MALL at Leadership??

Hey Baby...

I don't have time to go into the whole birds and bees thing here on my blog, and besides, I'm a LADY, but sometimes people have babies, and that occasionally necessitates a trip over to Patty Bennett's blog for inspiration, and then, a little baby carriage card.So easy. Fold a 5.5 x 11 piece of white cardstock in half. Put a piece of 5.5 x 5.5" DSP on top of it. (I'm using the new DSP from the Occasions mini) Position this stack just inside the edge of the scallop die so that you preserve the fold. Run it through the Big Shot and voila! Carriage!

Stick the DSP to the card front and then cut a little wedge out. I embellished it with buttons, wheels, the eyelet border punch and ribbon.

Here's what it looks like when you open it. Thanks Patty! Thanks birds! Thanks bees!!

Loveyameanitbye.
