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!!

OMG! That is the exact one what I was thinking about last night, but I had no energy to create. How our minds think alike. Your card is so darn cute and perfect to the IC. WOW, just love your creative mind.

What a FUN FUN card!!! But what is this about putting your tassles up for sale on eBay?? Not sure what kind of pictures would go with that.....
LOVE this - I just can't believe how you come up with these fantastic paper creations! Even if I tried to replicate or duplicate I would just aggravate!
Hey - there was an article in the paper about the Egg & I!!! It is where I thought it would be -- and everyone is getting excited!
