This is for this week's Unity Addicts Challenge, UAC26. We were to pick our favorite fairy tale and use something from it that sparks your inspiration.
I know what you're thinking--that I must have uploaded the wrong card with this post!! But really, this is the right one!! My favorite "fairy tale" is the FAIRY TALE COCKTAIL-- 1 oz vodka, 3/4 oz chocolate syrup, 2 oz crushed strawberries, 3 oz crushed ice. Can you say "yummy"? Anyway, that was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read this fairy tale challenge, so the fairy tale cocktail inspiration made me reach for my Unity Margarita Moments stamp set, and this is what I came up with!! (You can even see some strawberries in my DP.)
Thanks for taking a look!

Do weez have a tad bitz of a vodka drinking problem. It'z alwayz the onez you least expect it from. I hear they have an opening at The Betty Ford Clinic, but you might be roommates with Anne Ryan, so I'd sober up quickly if I were you. Although I do hear they give you hobby time once a day and you could pick stamping. See, there's always a way to make a bad thing good! Truly, I LOVE your card. The fun dp is wonderful and love your image and buttons. Oh, how sad, I see Benzi may be joining you at the BFC. Can y ou make sure she sends me my sewing machine she promised b/f they put her in a straight jacket - probably spelled wrong - LOL!! Oooh, I'm so mean, aren't I? You know it's all in fun!! TFS!

So, this iz where the trouble started. Pamzi mentioned you and da Prez were hittin' it. And so early in the day for da Prez. But it looks like you can still colour within the lines so that's a good thing. Cute card - perfect dp. Way to think 'outta the box' and 'into the blender'. RYPH!
