Random As Usual

ohhhhhh so mad i am green like the incredible hulk!!!! Blogger lost my draft from last nite!
I suppose it isn't ALL bad since it was written at like midnite and it was mostly random gibberish to begin with... but MAN that is frustrating...
Anyhoo.
I am in a creative mood today. If it weren't freaking ten below zero in my basement I would be down there creating more. I actually did brave it for almost an hour this morning, bundled up the kidlets and went downstairs to the frozen tundra. Made a few shrinky dink elements that i have yet to bake, UTEE'ed a chipboard element (my heat gun woudln't even heat up that is how cold it was), organized my cute stamps into my cute stamp organizer, then stopped having feeling in my fingers so we trudged upstairs and went for some healthy McD's. I hate when they advertise their new toys and get little kids all hyped up "oh looky - we have strawberry shortcake toys!!!! PAY ASTRONOMICAL PRICES FOR OUR HAPPY MEALS SO YOU CAN HAVE ONE TOO!!!!!" So you fall prey to it, only to be given a leftover piece of crap RAVEN toy from earlier this summer. Are you kidding me???? Had I not driven to the McDonald's in my houseslippers i woulda gone in there and DEMANDED my strawberry shortcake toy darn it!
Ok deep cleansing breaths -- wooooo saaaaaaa, woooo ssaaaaaaaa........

and we're calm.

here is my other random thought for today - two songs that WITHOUT FAIL make me laugh out loud - Baby Got Back and The Bad Touch (the discovery channel song). I do not know why I laugh at these utterly crass songs, but no matter what I always giggle out loud whenever I hear "Oh my god becky LOOK at her butt. I know = she looks like one-a those rap guys, girlfriends...but,,,you know, who understands those rap guys...."
HA HA HA HA HA.....too funny. Takin it back to the old school there.

Ok back to this century, I did some layouts today!

If you want full credit details, please visit my main gallery here at DSD.

Otherwise, these first three are all by Gina Miller, the first two using her new It's My Life kit and elements, and the third one using her new Dew Drop kit and elements, and her Perfectly Imperfect Stitches pack ( LOVE THOSE THINGS!!!) All available HERE.

The next few that I did were using some fab stuff from Kim Hill, available at CGEssentials.com , her personal store. The colors of this kit I used, LIttle Ladybug, are truly unbelievably bright and vibrant! I love it!

And Lastly I did this one for a challenge at DSD by Julie Howard, to use a different graphic space than we usually scrap in. This was actually quite a challenge for me - I do not think rectangularly at all, and it probably took me longer to do this layout than most of my larger square ones! I guess I am just hip to be square, but it was sure fun to try this!

This is using stuff from Michelle Underwood's Carnival kit, available at Scrapbook Bytes also. The stamp alpha is by Michelle Coleman, and I BELIEVE I got that at Scrap Artist. I was very bad in my early days about keeping track of that sort of thing!

anyways - I think that is about it for this exciting episode of mi vida loca.

Oh my gosh I gotta do my joy list layout too. I think I need some exciting new notebook paper stuff from darling Gina!!!! Might wanna run and snatch that up yourself!

Speaking of dear Gina - if you REALLY REALLY like her stuff, you might wanna be stalking her blog the next few days! She has a surprise in store!!! There is a link conveniently located on the upper left hand side!

And OH MY GOSH have you seen this?

I am dying. No I have died and gone to heaven. I must have that. MUST. It screams my name.

I aslo know of another very fun CT call coming up VERY VERY soon from my good friend Kimberly Giarrusso. Watch her blog for it!! You wo'nt wanna miss it!

I will bid you all farewell - hope you have a fantastic weekend!
