Another card with just jawing...does that surprise you? I guess it really shouldn't can I say that I think that I dream about this set at night. Yes I do I still love it. I also used the new rockabilly paper for it as well and I really like that paper as well I think that I am going to order like 10 packages of it so I don't run out. I was even thinking I might wallpaper my bedroom in it while Craig is out of town next week. Just kidding sweety (well kind of if nothing else the cost will stop me at two sheets per package I just can't afford it). We are getting ready for Craig to leave us for a few weeks which makes us sad but we have our big bad dog Jumba to fill in for him (at least that is the way that Jacob put it the other day). Easter candy is also out and I am proud to say that I am no longer even tempted by it. Not saying that this will last but it did make me feel good. I sat at the table with Craig and the kids the other night as they ate their first cadbury eggs of the season and I didn't once feel the urge to get out the fondue forks and fight anyone to the death for them. I think that that must be a good sign right. Well I hope that everyone is doing good and Julie I really hope that you saw my shout out yesterday if not here is another one. Oh and by the way I have also just recently discored the food blogs aren't they a ton of fun I love them. One of these days I am going to get ambitious and start making some of the things that I see on them. I did make my kids a special three choc hot cocoa this weekend it took two and a half hours. Jenny likes to point out that if I had made it on the stove instead of the crockpot like the recipe called for that it would have not taken nearly as long. But I like to point out all of the cooking time cause it makes it sound like a bigger deal then it really was. I got to play it when I can right. Well enough for now and on to the recipe for the card.
Recipe:
Paper: kiwi kiss, riding hood red, rockabilly paper
Ink: Basic black, versamark
Stamps: just jawing
Other: flower from pretties, clear rhinestone brad, silver brads, tab punch, 1 3/8 cir punch, scallop circle.
Thanks for looking.

shout out to julie



I tell you I am completely obsessed with this just jawing set. I have more cards to post that I made with it as well. I am really really going to try and make a more concentrated effort into getting stuff posted on here at least every two to three days. Right now I actually have several cards so hopefully I can post all week. My house is in total chaos right now, but lately it always is. I am cleaning out all of my kitchen cupboards though and getting rid of the excess. We have to much and no where to store it all. I am also always trying to do something with my basement. We have completely rearranged it and we got one of those big wall units from IKEA and Craig spent a day last weekend putting it together for me and we set it up so that it kind of makes a barrier between my stamping area and the rest of the room it looks really good. He did a great job. Well thanks for looking and like I said I will try and get a post on everyday this week until I am caught up with the cards that I have to add.

Recipe:

Paper: Bella rosa, riding hood red, chocolate chip, pink pirouette

Ink: Basic black and riding hood red

Stamps: just jawing

Other: jumbo binder clip, old olive grosgrain ribbon, choc chip twill tape, pretties kit (flowers and pearl) brown felt flowers, silver brads and pink rhinestone brads.

I also took a carousel notes and traced it onto the paper I wanted to use and cut it out.

Thanks for looking. Oh and let me give a great big shout out to my friend JULIE.
