Valen-dude(s)

Ha!
Happy Valentine's Day!!!  This is the Last Card you'll be seeing from me for a while regarding Valentine's Day.  I'm off to go find myself a short, red-headed dude in a green suit with a lot of money and some beer!!!!!!

This guy is such a DUDE!  Look at him. He exudes "Dude-Ness".  Maybe that's why I found him on http://www.dudetimedoodles.com/.

Inside, I wrote "What more can a woman ask for?"

I applied Worn Lipstick Distress Ink with my ink pad (from Ranger Ink). 

(To be honest, I don't know what he's holding?  Sunglasses case? Man-clutch?)

 

 I've been a crafting tornado lately.  This week, I plan to be dormant... 

Amuse-bouche:
Another Supernatural convention has come and gone.

 

I'm addicted to Pawn Stars.  I love the historical information they give.  Episodes are free on Hulu.com.  

Supernatural Convention

One of my very first (ambitious) scrapbooking projects I made was last April.  It was ambitious in that I had never done a scrapbook before.  I don't really scrapbook as it seems so overwhelming.  So, in an effort to overcome this perception, I made my two friends a little memorial of our trip to the Supernatural Convention in Los Angeles.  (Yes, I know. Geeking out on you.)

I supplemented the scrapbook with quotes and photos that I got from the internet.
[I didn't put a lot of embellishments because I didn't want to cover the scrapbook paper that I used in the background.]

HAPPY LABOR DAY

Well, I spent my Labor Eve creating a birthday gift card box and trying out my watercolor pencils and the aqua pen. I have come to the conclusion that I should use watercolor paper rather than cardstock from WalMart. When I use the cardstock, it doesn't retain the richness that the watercolor paper did on the sample I did a few months ago. I'll try to pick up some inexpensive watercolor paper tomorrow and test my theory. (Can watercolor paper feed through a printer for digistamps?) The aqua pen I have (by Zig, purchased at Michaels), has a brush tip so it's hard to color in small corners and maintain the lines.

I'll photograph my birthday giftbox tomorrow and post it. (I try to photo my projects in natural light as I feel that it makes my projects look better { Hey, I need all the help I can get}).

Amuse-bouche:
Supernatural Season 5 out on DVD Tuesday.
