LIM Week 82 ~ Recipe; ATS #2 ~ Gold

Mahoosive Monday Greetings!

 

For my card today I'm playing in two challenges.

 

 

First, the challenge at this week's Less Is More, hosted by the delightful Chrissie and Mandie, is "Recipe."  They want us to incorporate the following into our recipe (fold gently, do not stir): 

 

Three of something

Two of something

One of something

 

What a fun challenge!  Head's up if you play, it's not meant to be a game show, no no, it's a card show, so the answer sheet should be supplied with the card.

 

(Aside:  Which reminds me, the OLW favorite subject card answer was shorthand, and the shorthand in red above the short hand is the shorthand character for the word "shorthand."  Congrats to all of you who guessed correctly!  Send me your snail mail, and I'll send off my undying love and admiration!)

 

Refocus pocus, the second challenge is this week's Addicted to Stamps, which is to incorporate gold in your card.

Here is my card:

 

Here are the answers:

Three = three layers, three words

Two = two leaves, two squares

One = one square brad embellie

 

 

As usual, sadly, the photo fails to capture all the sheeny shine of the embossing.  The end of today's featured card.

Here are a couple of fun pictures I just downloaded of our spin around the lake on Sunday in a little rental motor boat.  Which died on us twice.  I was very impressed at how the big boys kept their language child-appropriate!

 

Dan, Henry, Bama

 

Adam and Papa

Mommy has been away a few days visiting her ill Auntie Sandra and Henry decided to make her a card.  I had shown him my blog earlier in the day, so he wanted me to take a picture of this card to post.  (Adam was out front helping Papa wash his dirty motorcycle and trailer.)

 

 

Henry was so proud when I photographed his card, but he wanted no part of standing next to it.  That's okay, I got him in the background, loading up his squirt gun to go around and ambush his brother!

Before I go, I would like to say my thoughts and prayers are with those affected by Isaac. My sister, Diana, is one of them.  I'm assuming her scheduled flight and meetings in Florida have been postponed.  Speaking of Diana, I have to show you this.  She had a birthday party for a friend and made the cutest cake for the honoree!

 

 

You might think it's too pretty to eat, but after a second of oohing and aahing, I just want to lick off that luscious frosting which looks like a huge scoop of soft serve ice cream on a plate!!  Diana would have to be okay with that because I've seen her pick up her plate after eating cake and ice cream and lick every last morself off.  Morself?  Well, you know what I mean.  Anyway, if a person eats too much of that sort of thing, they end up with morself.

 

Okay, I'm going.
