I hope you get a chuckle like I did while filming it .

Well I came home the 1st time at 4:30am then got called out to meet hubby at Home Depot then we came back home and then headed back out to hit 1 more store then offically came home and put PJ's on at 8:30am . We were all exhaused But it was such a blast .
Friday night Jessie's Boyfriend Pat came over and I got a photo of the both of them for you today YAHOO! Awww so cute huh?
Speaking of Jessie.... If only you could see her when she is doing her hair . OH wait... I got a pic of that too ( She Never lets me take a photo of this process but she let me yesterday had to grab the camera really quick before she changed her mind LOL !).

Todays card is one of those that really started out to be something totally different .. Why does this happen? I think it's the project demanding another creative outlook~ I really don't know But I do like the finished card but don't ask me how long I spent on just this card alone .. OH my goodness to long .
Hopefully I will make another one soon and find a quicker way to make it with a Christmas theme and then " Hopefully" I will make a quick video for you .
Here are the supplies I used on the card :
Crumb cake card stock # 120953
Early Espresso classic ink# 119670

Hi Stampers :
Happy Monday Friends !
When I was making this card it made me think of a ruffle on a dress . Plus I needed to consult with my approval team ( Hubby and Daughter ) and Jessie said I need to flip it upwards and add something else to it ..
So here is the finished card sitting upward and I added some Basic pearls . Guess it passed approval cause I got a smile from Jess and she said Yeah... That's much better ( Smile)
Funny how when something doesn't quite work out I ask my approval team and they always seem to know how to help make it so much better .
I filmed a video on this type of card But it will be in a Christmas theme and that video will be posted soon .
Here are the supplies I used on todays card :
Early Espresso card stock #119686
Pool Party card stock #122924
Early Espresso strip 3/4" x 4"
For the ruffles I used the
Tasteful Trim Bigz die #120893
with the

Here is a photo of Jessie's Cosmetology license I was suppose to show you last week but totally forgot to post it ..
Look what Jessie and I got while we were picking up her hair color. Brand new Shellac nail colors .
Oh my goodness a New Purple and a new sparkley one YAHOO!!
The purple one is called "Purple Purple " and the sparkley one is simular to the "Mother Pearl " BUT only bigger sparkles. That one is called "Zillionaire"
Then Jessie got this new OPI Muppets Themed nail polish called Rainbow Connection Isn't that pretty~
