This is the card I made for today's inspiration challenge. This is the item that inspired me!
This is my story!
1. OMG! What a website! Snort! I started out looking at the teapots and thought, nope...I am gonna go *outside the box!*
2. So, I chose a Santa Snow Scraper. I thought it was a kick! I was really, really proud of the photographer! He immediately knew it was a drywall tool! Tee Hee! (I didn't correct him!)
3. I wasted an entire brand new spool of white embroidary thread trying to make tassles for the hat. When I got them done, I had the bright idea to do them out of cardstock!! I liked the cardstock ones better! I will sell ya a pair of really cool embroidary thread tassels dirt cheap!!! We're talking dirt cheap!
4. Hey, quit laughing at my sun-burnt Santa! I used my new Tim Holtz Worn Lipstick Distressing Ink and it was a little pinker than I thought it would be! All I know is that my worn lipstick isn't this bright! Snort!
5. What a fun challenge!!

That worn lipstick is a great color!! I love your santa........especially his funny nose and eyes with the highlights in different places!! Your CS tassel is wonderful, but I will pass on the thread one for now!

Oh - oh, I think everyone should have a snow scraper like this! You would be giggling so much you would forget about your frozen nose and fingers! You are a creative genius, GF! This is fabulous, Cindy! The Photographer does have a point! I have seen drywall tools that look like this!
I understand Blah Blah Alecia is in therepy now! (tee hee) Somethin' about bee stings and rejection!

Cindy, is there anything you can't make with paper? This is adorable! Love your Santa's expression-has he been to one of your tea parties? TFS!

Fabulously fun card, Cindy! This is a PERFECT match to the scraper, but what else would we expect? Love the pink-cheeked Santa and the unique design! Super fun and creative, as always!
