Good morning! oh what a day yesterday.... I took the dogs out first thing and was attacked by the most ferocious vampire ants! eek! We so rarely have any ants around our house at all, so to discover these nasties was a true horror. and to make it worse, I am SOOOOOOOOOO allergic to them. so I got to spend the day taking loads of medication trying to ward off a really bad reaction. virtually nothing accomplished other than a wonky head that visited the outer nebula, Saturn, and other interesting places in infinity & beyond. plus lovely little bitesies that completely cover my feet & legs. add that to me hobbling around already on a twisted ankle from a Starbucks misadventure over the weekend and I am one funny looking old lady!
so on to something much more fun - a card! Claire at Jellypark is offering up this adorable little bird house & set of sentimetns as a freebie in her store. be sure to check out all of the delightful things she has up and down every aisle! :)
I used Cosmo Cricket Togetherness papers, dies from My Favorite Things, a SU! punch, some ribbons, (dyed the golden one exactly to match for the first time ever! cool way to get all matchy matchy!) and little buttons from both my vintage & regular stash. someday I will get a sun die, but until then I thought the flower punch worked out okay.
have a good one, folks! and only about a dozen followers needed before July 17 for some fun blog candy! I have been gathering some goodies together! :)
---> there is a contest going on over at the Jellypark Friends Friday challenge blog, so hurry to check it out! also, as soon as the Jellypark Paper Craft Planet group reaches 100 members, Claire is going to offer up a freebie! wooo hooooo!

Those papers are gorgeous Jennifer, I love the card it's really cute, I wonder what effect you would achieve from squashed vampire ants rubbed on some paper lol, best place for the little blighters.
