Inspirations from Neil


This week's teaparty challenge is to make cards with a motorcycle theme.  The cards are going to Neil Klippenstein. Neil is a total inspiration to us all!  His positive attitude reminds me of J.R. Martinez. If you have time, you should watch this clip:

Wow!  Is that inspiring or what? 

I used Priscilla's Midnight Madness Sketch to make the card.  You can check it out at:

Her layouts are so amazing! 

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  I ate too much as usual.  Right now, my darling husband is practicing frying a turkey in the Infrared Turkey Fryer I gave him 3 years ago. He hadn't even taken it out of the box, but after frying 2 turkeys on Thanksgiving and getting a hole in his fryer - not to mention the over $30 in oil that leaked out of the pot - he finally took the thing out and put it together.  I'll let you know how it comes out (I am a bit afraid since he couldn't find the assembly instructions and put it together by guessing how the parts went together and now he is at the stove mixing wine in the injection marinade and speaking with a cajun accent - he isn't cajun......).

    Great card. Love the bike and the colours you used. Large brads are a lovely touch. I have a graet mental picture of your hubby assembling and speaking in a Cajun accent LOL! Hope it all turns out :)

    I love this card, the design and colors are so awesome. How neat after all the things going wrong in turkey frying and your DH still has a sense of humor.

    Neil seems to be a great guy with a forgiving heart. How wonderful! He is sure to enjoy your super card.

    Inquiring minds want to know how the fryer assembly turned out. Funny story about your DH.

    Happy Thanksgiving...what am I late for dinner. Oh my gosh $30 of oil huh!!! We used to fry turkey's too but when the oil got so expensive I went to brine and haven't turned back. Your card for Neil is just wonderful. Love that motorcycle and those boots as embellishment. You almost make interesting cards with awesome detail. Hope you had an awesome holiday.

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
