Hope you are staying cool

I can't eat ice cream, but that doesn't mean I can't drool over it.  I do sneak frozen yogurt at times. I saw a MFT video using these stamps.  I enlarged using my Cameo and then used the print/cut feature.  I like caramel more than chocolate on my yogurt.  I added Diamond glaze on caramel topping and cherry.

Friend Time Spinner Card

Lordy Lordy I think I may be getting the flu so I will try to get this card posted.

The House Mouse Challenge #188 theme (Friends) is being sponsored by the lovely lady Sues Stamping Stuff. She does an awesome job with the House Mice! My first rubber stamp was a House Mouse.  I still love the sweet critters.  This one is called (I think) '07 Fruit Fun. Bought at HB years ago. I tried to keep it CAS but added a fun cherry spinner.

Flashback:  I remember my friend Carola and I buying cherries, pitting and making jam.  It was a lot of work, a lot of fun and we never did it again.  The next best thing we did was to buy maraschino cherries, soaked over night in chocolate volka and ....yum yum!

A2, ribbon, copics for coloring, white highlights, metal cherry charm.

Happy Birthday with a cherry on top!!!

        Such a cute digi stamp from Meljen's Designs.  I added my svg cherries with stems, some glossy accents, embossing, Trina Clark's cupcake image and called it "Happy Birthday with a Cherry on Top".   I think the card could even be used for an adult's birthday.

Size: A2 (Vertical card)

Free svg for "Some days are just the PITS!"

       I posted this card last night after the story I wrote.  As promised, here is the svg freebies.  I used Peachy Keen faces on the pits.

Some days are just the PITS !

       My son just came home with his first "ticket". I was minding my own business, in my own happy place (craft room) making a sweet card and then the "blue paper" was lay down over my pretty designer paper for me to see. As a retired teacher, I always exhibited much patience and restrained with other people's children.  Well, the rule doesn't usually apply in my own home.  I had scissors in hand, but he had two friends as witnesses, so I counted to 10 and then said "my peace".  He would have to pay in many ways down the road, but the first payment was for me to hand him the phone so he could call his dad at work.  "But Mom, he's working, that will make him mad," as my son pleaded his case. "Yup", I said, "but I only have your best interest at heart.  If you remember the old slogan for selling telephones..."reach out and touch someone", then trust me. Dad would love to reach out through that phone and touch you!!!! Call him now while there is distance between you and him and he will be over the initial shock by the time he gets home this evening."  He made THE call!

       Using my craft tape, the ticket now hangs neatly on the refrigerator door....perhaps I should add some embellishments.  It stands for blackmail, lots of extra chores he won't be paid for, leverage on many levels, and a prayer card. A prayer card you may ask? (I wouldn't tell him, but maybe my guardian angel (or his) stepped up to the plate to see that he got this ticket to save him from something worst that could had happened in the future....just a precaution..to help him refocus.)
       I finished this card and svgs instead of the other sweet card that I had been working on. It's dedicated to his/mine/dad's bad day and reminding me "Some days are just the PITS!"

( I used Peachy Keen faces on the Pits.)

Download:  Come back on Saturday to get the svgs!

See you then!
