Blah, Blah, Blah...

I'm showing my age here...Did you have one of these lip pillows as a kid?



My grandmother made one for me when I was little. It graced the head of my bed with all the other stuffed animals until I left for college. I wonder where that thing is?!

What about this 1970's Avon lip gloss? I wanted this sooooooo bad!



(Shrug) I didn't get it, but I did get the chocolate chip cookie!



When I was grocery shopping recently, I saw this designer collection on the paper products aisle. The design with the lips drew me in. Of course I bought all the designs!  It was childhood brainwashing!

So, my card was inspired by a designer Kleenex box. Hey... it's nothing to sneeze at!

3 of a kind, a little masking and a monsoon

I spent this "Monsoon Monday" making cards and avoiding housework. The weather was TERRIBLE! AND... the boys left a window open, so the hallway to their room was drenched. So, I"checked out" from reality for most of the day...

I saw this pin on Pinterest. Cute huh?



This is my interpretation…though the finger painting was awful cute on the pin, I love this stamp! It's a Club Scrap oldie but goodie.

I didn't get much housework done, but I feel like I accomplished a lot today!

Rrrribbit....

Who knew origami could be so "ribbiting"?! I found this origami frog tutorial yesterday when I was searching for easy origami tutorials.



He really hops too! I think I remember making something like this when I was in elementary school. I'm pretty sure the teacher confiscated all of them from the class because paper frogs were hopping all over the room!

I made a card using the 4♣ card from the ALCM Idea Deck Vol. 2. The cutting instructions are on the back, so you don't waste any paper!



Of course I decorated the card with a jumping frog!

01-2016 Technique Challenge...Origami!

I loved paper folding when I was a kid. Remember these?



This month's Club Scrap Technique Challenge is to use origami elements on your scrapbooking or projects. I googled "easy origami tutorials" and this came up in the search results...Oh yeah, my kind of easy!

https://youtu.be/F-hoZJYxnU8

I found some Decopatch paper that was just right for folding and this is what I ended up with.
