Alabama vs. Auburn



Living in Alabama, I am right in the middle of the legendary Alabama vs. Auburn rivalry. Half my friends and family are huge Alabama fans and the other half are Auburn fans. The last few years, the rivalry has heated up as they have both won National Championships. Things are so competitive here that when you meet new people, it is one of the first things they ask you about. To play it safe, I tell them I am a Lobo fan (University of New Mexico) - that usually confuses them since hardly anyone has heard of the Lobos. LOL!
This week's Dude Time Doodles challenge is Anything Goes so I decided to use Ted Tightend to make an Alabama card for a friend. I had so much fun that I went ahead and made an Auburn card as well.


I am entering these dueling cards in the Make It Monday #98 Anything Goes challenge as well. This is my first time entering and I love how they encourage other participants to encourage fellow participants. How great is that!











This week's Dude Time Doodles challenge is sponsored by Ribbon Carousel - one of my new favorite places! Be sure and enter the challenge so you will have a chance to win one of their gift certificates.


Hugz to all no matter what team is your favorite!

P.S. Benzi - thanks for the houndstooth ribbon and Roll Tide!!!

    Great cards, but I think you are adding fuel to this fire with your last comment! Lol
    I always cheer for the under-dog, so I flip flop who I cheer for!

    Today, it would be Auburn just b/c I like the orange polka dots...lol

    These cards are Stunning. We only have 2 footy teams her in West Australia so the rivalry is very strong also. sometimes Husband against wife..Being a Taxi driver I try to be neutral and tell everyone I support a team from Queensland where I was born so I will not offend anyone..LOL..I saw these fantastic cards on MIM..Loz

    Absolutely LOVE your cards! Fantastic coloring. I was asked the same question when we moved here and was told I had to choose one or the other. I then proceeded to say I was a (Oregon) Ducks fan. At that time no one around here had heard of them either and that shut them up.

    These cards are both so fun! I love how you colored that image and made one for each team to avoid controversy! LOL Sports fans really get serious about their favorites don't they? I'm not a football fan, so either of these works for me! LOL

    Hey, what this???????????? Glad you put that Bama player on top.hehee
    Hey, I think I know that Alabama guy....looking very familiar. :-)
    Glad to see that houndstooth ribbon....couldn't make a Bama card without it.

    Now to that Auburn dude....well, I guess he looks fairly tough, too. Especially since they're the same image. HAHAHHA

    Girl, you're a mess and I think you're very special. ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
