I was inspired by the red and white. Then I happened to see this video andÂ…..well, click on it if you dare to see what the heck Curt is up to this weekÂ…has something to do with a red solo cup, Toby Keith and proceeding to party????....my storyÂ…..I mean CurtÂ’s storyÂ….
You see Curt was once a roadie back in the day, got hooked on Country Music. Well last week his friend Toby was in town and he got to hang with him. He just might have hung with him a tad too longÂ…..ended up in a red solo cup! hehe DonÂ’t blink or you might just miss him! hehe keeps disappearing in that cup!Â….details and how toÂ’sÂ….
Just the thought of drinking as much as Curt did went to my headÂ….I hung all the cups the wrong way! DangÂ…they should have been up-side down like in the video! Oh well, there is always the next card. Took a real red solo cup and cut it to fit on my card. The white top was painted on with enamel accents.
Curt was made to look old as in old fashion. He wasnÂ’t really that color after he proceeded to party! Cut the miniature cups from red cs painting the top white. I glued them to pink decorator floss because I didnÂ’t have any white. The snowflake is supposed to be a star. The bg was sponged on using a mask. Sponged the edges with tea dye.
Well there you have it. I know this isnÂ’t a Christmas kind of card, but it is a Party kind of card as in Teapot Party! heheÂ…Â…Â…have a great day all! TFL :0) Hi Sis! Hi NC Sis!....
P.SÂ…Â…with the end of the year approaching and having lots of inventory to get done, ole Curt will be taking a short break. HeÂ’ll catch up with yaÂ’ll in a week or two. Until then, stay out of trouble and save up your money cuz who knows what he will be selling when he gets back! hehe

Curt's showing his age, LOL - he looks as if he'd come out of an Old Master painting with that crackled glaze. I must admit a solo cup has me baffled - have to look that one up - but as always your card has me smiling.

Honey....ummm...what was in your red solo cup? Can I have some? Snooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrtttt this is phenomenal!! I watched the whole video and I think Toby got his Sharpie ideas from you (he even looks a little like Curt at the end). Your sponging is outta control wonderful and the cups are over the top even for you...and Curt looks great in crackle. BTW I don't see a Santa, and quite frankly I don't CARE!! Coolest card ever.

Too bad my mom and dad haved passed. They owned a neighborhood bar here in Hog Wallow, KY. Curt would have fit right in. As always Curt is adorable. If he needs a DD (designated driver) give him my number.
