LIM #104 ~ Sketch; DD #37 ~ Soft and Crumby

High!  High!

I love making muffins or cookies and then saying to my family, "Eat that with a plate under it, it's really crumby." 

Seriously, why put silent letters in words anyway?  I have this picture of the Alphabet Team sitting around the conference boulder getting ready to close up for the day.  As they're putting all the letters away for the night, Pete yells, "Hold up, people, there's an extra B here again!"

I took my crumb cake and a piece of soft suede from this week's challenge at Dynamic Duos,

and Chrissie and Jen's sketch challenge from this week's Less Is More,

and I made a quick passionate CAS card:

I used the textured version of the SU! colors, which I like because it gives the card, um, some texture, which seems fitting if you're going to live with passion.  I took some neutral flowers from a Hot Off The Press package of flowers and inked the middle one with crumb cake so it would look like a matching decorabre on a wonderful expensive jacket.

I am pickled tink today for a few reasons.  I woke up this morning to learn my card yesterday was this week's winner at CASology!  I did a little happy dance, imitating Tiny Tim Tiptoeing Through The Tulips, until one of the pictures fell off the wall in the hallway.  I'm thrilled to receive the honor!

And I'm thrilled to let you know that Tenia Nelson of Jazzy Paper Designs has joined us. Tenia is a crafter and, whoot, a jazz pianist!  We'll be really rocking the cards in the Playhouse, now!  Welcome, Tenia, and thank you!

Next, I am so happy to have Stephanie Lanzalotto of My Ink Well join us!  You'll see that Stephanie has a stunning heart card of her own when you pop over to welcome her.  Thank you so much, Stephanie!

We had a wonderful decadent fattening lunch and a fun time with the twins and DS and DDIL yesterday.  The pub had a shuffleboard table, which was a whole new experience for the twins and kept them happily entertained.  Of course, who didn't take any pictures?  None of us.  I mean, all of us.  Didn't.

But I did remember that I had a couple of pictures on my cell phone that I'd taken at an old-fashioned candy store (of all places!) a few weeks back.  Here's one that I thought you might enjoy:

Mister commented at the time that I could probably teach a class on motivational speaking. Wasn't that the sweetest thing to say?  I smiled, thinking it was a compliment.  You know those compliments that hit you the next day when you are alone and you whip around and say to the air, "Wait.  What did he mean by that?!"

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy your day. LITS!
