What cat? I thought it was funny to take the picture so the word spelled something else. In fact it was kinda fun taking different angles, and try not to get the danged light in it, or the camera lens and heaven forbid a reflection of my nose.

There is a card in the catalog like this and it spells out the word friend.  I wanted to make a framed one of these for my studio, but I was like "well gee I can't make myself something that says friend" that would be too weird, I mean I know they say you got to love yourself and all that, but I stop at making myself a frame that says friend…freak maybe but not friend.

So I thought the word create has the same letters as friend so I could basically do the frame like the card. I loved the little embellishments. The letters were not too hard to cut out, but I just took my time. Gotta love my paper snips!

I kept taking pictures, it was neat to get really close and to be down low and then you can see the little tags and how they stick out and the pearls and brads, and linen thread. This was fun to make.

Here's what it looks like in the frame, I had to stand back to take the picture.  I am undecided if I want to mess around and shabby up the frame.

So yesterday I talked about the time 11:11, and I had a few people email me and say that that time means something to them too.  I remember when we lived in Mesa years ago when Eric was little.  One day, off he goes to play and we were like where did he go.  He comes home later and we are like where were you playing and he was like "Three Five".  We are like ok.  You know Eric has a speech delay as part of his disability, so we thought nothing of it.  So next day off he went to play again, and I think he brought "Three Five" over to play too.  We found out his name was Phillip, but that was too hard for Eric to say.  So eventually we were like we wanted to see where he lived so we walk on down the street and guess what?  Phillip's house number was 555 so to Eric that was "Three Five".  I remember reading to Eric when he was little and you would be trying to read and he would be pointing out all the "and" words on the page.  Things like that, he notices things other people don't.  So here is the funny part, we all just called Philip "Three Five" and when Phillip started school, on the top of his paperwork after he printed his name, his Mum told me he also put 555.  I love that story.

Well I am headed to bed, morning comes early.

Have an awesome Saturday and thanks so much for stopping in!

    Honestly, I "learn" more from your sweet stories on life than anything I could find in a published book. Your stories are amazing to me and I love to start my day off reading what you have to say from the "girls" to you wonderful son. Your talent runs not only in the artistic vein but in the vein of every day life. I love it!I would love to just sit with you over a cup of hot coffee and just listen to your stories. Have a good Saturday.

    Love this bit of framed art. Such a cool use of the punch. Wicketcat who was reading over my shoulder was disappointed you didn't stay with the cat theme but I convinced her it still applied to her since she's very creative too. As in creative about getting her own way!!

    I'll have to try variations on this with the gazillion small frames I have laying around.

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!
