Oh my goodness why OH why Haven’t I been doing Jen’s Challenges all along .. What a " Take my hand and hit my forehead ".. Duh moment ! I just love Jen she is the sweetest Gal . I decided a couple days ago I just had to do her challenge this week ( Her card is sooo cute ) Plus maybe I was up for a wee challenge this week and really since the news broke about MR Crabs I just knew what set I was going to be using for my card .. YIPPEE!!! Long live Mr Crabby pants .. Speaking of Mr Crabs .. You all are sooo awesome for emailing me with the GREAT news cause Not only does Mr Crabs know I love him But so do all of YOU!! and apparently so does Stampin’ Up! Ok on to my card .. I had to use all the new In colors Purely Pomegranate, Wild Wasabi & Groovy Guava and whisper white too .. how did I get my crabs to hold Claws ( hands ) so cute huh? I stamped Mr crabs 1st on whisper white then did the masking technique and stamped again to make sure they were holding claws ..( This cracks me Up.) I used the slit punch for the side panels of scallops and I used the Mega giga sq scallop punch for all the little pieces ( I just cut the edges of the sq and added them to each piece ) . I also used my Karen Foster snap stamps for the saying .. OH yea itty bitty backgrounds was used behind my Crabby Couple , and of course the white gel pen added just alittle flair to the finished card ..But its the googly eyes that make this card sooo cute IRL . I am sending this to my hubby since he asked me the other night if all he does is gripe and complain about everything over there .. so He should get a kick out of it, Cause I would be Crabby with him any day .
I also wanted to tell you all a BIG Thank You for giving my retired sets a new home .. I am also throwing in a surprise in each package that goes out .. Until supplies run out that is .. Hope you all Like May Kay goodies( Samples , Lip stick holders, Make up bags, travel size in MK goodies etc…) .. I have so many things just sitting in a Box so I thought I would share it with you ..I will cover postage fees that are over your postage charge for just the stamps .. Thank you all so Much .
Until later … Happy Stampin!!

Gee, you didn’t say what the great news about Mr. Crabby was. I know what it was but you didn’t say what it was for all those who don’t know.
Does that sound confusing?
