Birthday Gum Holder

So I made a couple of these gum holders for a couple of birthdays this month (Hi Shar and Diana!)  There weren't any blogs around that had dimensions of a holder that would fit the extra large square Extra gum, so I just made one myself.  It took a lot of trial and error, and I'm sorry to say, that I FORGOT TO WRITE THE DIMENSIONS DOWN!  Wanted to kick myself! LOL!  

The party emoticon was made with Smiley Cards on my Gypsy.

The sentiment says, "if you are what you eat, eat something cute!"  Held it together with velcro.

'Till next time folks!  And happy belated birthday to all my fellow August babies!

A Card for Marley

********Enter my 100 follower giveaway HERE*********

Miss Madison over at Funky Cards is spreading her angel wings again this month, this time for a little girl named Marley who has a brain tumor.  If you have time, check out her blog post and send a card to little miss Marley!  You should have enough time to make something cute (or check out your stash!) and send it in time (collection closes July 31).

This is coming from Hawaii so hopefully this gets to you in time, Madison!

This cut is from Smiley Cards.  After putting it together I realized the cut was supposed to be strawberry shortcake.  Lol, I guess this one is just going to have chocolate frosting on it!

The inside. :)

Used my Create-a-lope to make a pretty square envelope for it!

'Till next time!

To a Fungi - Dedicated to Shar

This card is dedicated to one of my pals, Shar.  You can see her cute blog here at My Time to Create.  She wanted me to make something with Smiley Cards, so that I did!

The inside says "Happy Father's Day!"  I cut the mushroom out at 4", did some sponging, and added a corduroy button and printed pun.  I love puns!  Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

Red Cupcake Card

Today is a very ugly, ugly day in Hawaii nei.  Really bad thunderstorm.  My power went out this morning and when I was driving to the office all of the street lights were out.  Thank God people drive with Aloha when that happens!  Last night my toilet went on the fritz as well.  As I was about to fall asleep, my valve just erupted and sprayed water and flooded my entire bathroom.  Thankfully, my husband (being in the Navy) recognized the sound of rushing water and was there in a flash.  Lol, I thought it was the sprinklers going off or something!  So lots of cleaning in the middle of the night... and wet kitty litter sucks to clean...

Anywho,  my guy pal in Washington had a bad day yesterday.  It was his birthday and he was nowhere near friends or family.  He also got a call that his grandfather passed away, so when I contacted him to wish him a Happy Birthday, he was just about to jump on a plane home to Florida.  Poor thing.  On a happier note, I sent him this card which will be waiting for him when he gets back:

The cupcake was cut out with the Smiley Cards cartridge.  The sentiment is to remind him of a very unfortunate incident that scared the living daylights out of him when he ate cupcakes a few months ago at my husband's birthday party.  They looked like this:

Aside from the Sucker Punch picks (made with the Indie Art cartridge), I'm sure you can figure out what happened to him after he had a few of these cupcakes... LOL!
