I'm late posting again today, but this time it's because I went shopping with a friend before I got my card completely finished. Oh, and Sadie seems to be doing better today; she was asking to go for a walk and I was like hahahahNO, you're still moving kinda slow and I don't want to hurt you more.
But anyway, there is a stamp set in the Occasions catalog that I love. My friend Missy....does not. And I don't know why, because I think it's awesome and hilarious and fun and different and so when I got it yesterday (birfday present to me!) I had to make a card to send to her featuring....
A lumberjack!
Heeee's a lumberjack and he's okay, he sleeps all night and he works all day! Oh wait, that's a whole 'nother song. Anyway, how could you not love this lumberjack? He's awesome! And I broke open the first of my new firm foam ink pads to stamp his Garden Green shirt (green for Baylor, obviously, also why his hat is Crushed Curry). And I used some of my new Blendabilities, but I didn't, you know, blend them. Anyway, I used a slightly modified version of the sketch from Retro Sketches:
The lumberjack image was big enough that I couldn't make this a 4.25" square card, and I didn't want to do a 5.5" square and have to pay extra for postage, so I stretched the sketch to an A2 size.
Anyway, it's pretty much dinnertime so that's it for me today. Cheers, peeps!

That is SOOOO funny! You just gotta love it. Brought back memories of my childhood. My friend Robin's grandfather owned a motel/restaurant called The Paul Bunyan. There was a very large statue of Paul made of redwood standing at the corner of the property. I think it's gone now, but I like to imagine he was wearing a plaid shirt. He also had his pet blue ox named "Babe". Now I'm getting homesick. Too funny.
I DO love the card.
