Again?

This 'n' That

15 Apr

Yep, sorry, I hope you are not getting sick of this little guy, I promise to show you the completed card, my DSP should get here tomorrow.

So today I worked on some "stuff" and I also colored my little grillers, I still have a few more things to do on them though.

I decided to go with watercolor paper instead of the Whisper White, cause it is more blendable. I did still use my watercolor wonder crayons and a blender pen and you want to make sure it is a nice new one, the juicier the better.

Oh and a few of you have asked about the clouds I do.

See the clouds in the sky?

All that is is this…

…two Scallop circle punches…

…and I taped them together and I use them like a stencil. I lay it down and sponge over it and it leaves the shape.  Ellie (hey girlfriend) gave me the idea of putting them together, cause I used to use just one, but I saw at her house when she did my birthday card, she had a whole bunch put together.  I did two just cause the card is small.  But cool eh?

So Katie and Andrew are gone from American Idol, I had predicted Andrew, but I was hoping Mike would go, but really when the three of them were lined up, I did not really care which one.  I did shed a tear though when Ryan said that Lee sang the song that Chris Daugtery sang the night he got kicked off, and I remember that night, Jeff and I looked at each with our mouths hanging open cause we could not believe he had been kicked off, so I was crying a little (old sappy Di) when he pulled him away, but Ryan was being an arse and working on the drama. Whew, I don't want to see Lee go.  I will be buying his CD the day it comes out!

Oh and I love Adam, but I hated the lighting effects, I hope the audience could see him better then us folks at home cause half the time the swirly looking green gassy stuff was in front of him.  Ryan seemed surprised about the lights, and I wonder, don't they practice?  Don't they have to get approval to do what they do? I don't know. 

Well this old girl has to hit the hay, oops it is after midnight, I got to get up early and get my hotel for convention, I am all registered and got my flight, now I need to find a place to stay.

Have a great Thursday, maybe I'll see you at the Post office…ha!

    Hi Di, Been loving your cards and enjoying your comments on Idol, so far I agree with everything you say about Idol. I wish Siobhan would do better, love her voice, and it was great to see Adam, he sang that song differently than on the cd.

    PS GWTW is my favorite movie but your take on it was funny!

    I'm going to order this little guy on my next order. Since I'm laid up there's no rush. Can't wait to see your finished product! I'm staying at the Hilton and am on track 4. Really looking forward to another great time and meeting new people.

    I can't wait to see your finished card with this guy!
    I too was not surprised with Andrews departure – I was not sure who else was gonna go though – I really liked Tim's performance the other night so I was glad that he did not go – he's got cute little dimples too! I kinda thought Siobhan – I don't really care for her. I want Crystal to win the whole thing – her or Lee – or maybe Casey, but he didn't do very good the other night I didn't think.
    Hope your DSP gets here soon!
    Luv ya
    Jax

    I don't watch Idol, but I live in the next town over from Lee; had a small camp at my house last night with 3 ladies from Lee's hometown. They came in hauling their own TV so they wouldn't miss a minute of the show! Those cards were slapped together, and Idol was the center of attention! Gotta love it!

    How funny they brought their own TV's.

    Hugs,

    I keep watching your card progress with the little grill man but question: Where do you buy this cutie? I am probably just overlooking it but I would love to have him for invitations!
    I know I am the odd one here but I can't stand Big Mike or Crystal!! So much cockiness with those 2! I love Lee, Casey, and I really have a soft spot for Aaron who is coming along! I always hated Adam Lambert but his song the other night was really good! Guess I have to eat my words!!

    Hi Di…..You have been so "spot on" with your opinions on American Idol. I think Crystal is may favorite. I am glad she is growing out her dreads. You can tell she has been working on that a while.

    As for GWTW…..well I gre up in the south and live in Atlanta, so you just gotta love that movie if you live here. LOL My daughter-in-law is a GWTWaholic!!! She is from Oregon.

    I also agreed with your opinion on Adams light show. LOL I kept thinking it looked like an ultrasound. LOL

    I am loving this Grillin' stamp set you are using!!! My son is the Grill Master and this will be great for a card for him. Can't wait to see the new mini.

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
