Love and Baboons

Hello Createers!

I hope your week is going well!

We are over the crest of the week and whooshing downhill to the weekend! Whee! Here in America it is all about Super Bowl Frenzy, especially in the San Francisco Bay Area where the Big Event will take place on Sunday. I hope your favorite team wins, whichever one that is!

Here on the blog, I'm working hard with Hammy and The Hammettes to escalate Mt. NBUS. Today we are playing with hearts and balloons. Oh, did I say baboons in the title? Sorry if you got all becited about seeing baboons instead of balloons.

We'll start with love in honor of the season.

The NBUS dies on this card are the Stitched Jumbo Fishtail Banners from My Favorite Things and the Light Ray Heart from Simon Says Stamp. The stitched rectangle is from Lil' Inker and the love word is from Paper Smooches. A shiny cool card that a even a guy person would like.

Next, I wanted to use the balloon snippets that came from the corner die I used in my last post. I knew if I put them in my bits and boobs ~ oops, darn these ginfers ~ bobs schtuff (BABS), they would likely die of old age before I got back to them. So I made another shaker card, using another NBUS item.

Isn't that a fun design with the jar tilted to one side and the balloons and sequints escapading out the top? You're thinking I'm a genius, I'll bet, but the truth is the darn die moved during production. I was disgrunt led and reached for another piece of card stock and then I thought, well,  that's wasteful, so I just went with it like I meant for it to be that way. To make it even crazier, I stamped the stamps cattywampus, too!

If you look up the definition of cattywampus (spelled other ways), you will find the synonyms "askew" and "awry." It's like a gift from the dictionary gods where the defining words are just as silly-sounding and wonderful as the word you were looking up!

And, yes, I tend to overfill my shaker pockets just like I do my belly.

The jar is from Paper Smooches and the NBUS stamps are from the Smirthday set by Technique Tuesday.
