Mascot Games

This past weekend my husband took me to the Mascot Games in Orlando. I LOVE characters, as I'm sure I've mentioned, so this was so much fun for me! I got their autographs and pics. Some of them were so funny! There were about 35 or so different mascots and they are grouped into 4 teams and compete against each other in timed games, like joust and racing, and an obstacle course. It was hysterical! We will definitely do that again. This is a pic of me with Ray from the Tampa Bay Rays.

Happy Home Card

I made this card for a friend who had a housewarming party recently. I started with a mauve cardstock for the card base, and a background of plaid patterned paper that I embossed and inked. The house is cut from fushia cardstock that I embossed, blue patterned paper for the roof, cream behind the windows, mauve embossed for the chimney. Blue and cream paper flowers with teeny-beeny rhinestones. "happy" is a rubber stamp and "Home" is a rub-on. I crossed some fushia ribbon, poked a pretty brad through and attached to the corner, kind of like a makeshift sunshine.

Congratulations Card

I made this card for a woman at work who celebrated 22 years employed at the College. I used navy blue cardstock, cream cardstock, blue patterned paper, yellow and cream paper flowers with yellow rhinestones, and sheer cream ribbon. I cut out the sentiment on my Cricut.

Shopping Spree!

Over the Fourth of July weekend, my sweet hub took me on a shopping spree. It was mostly because I really needed new clothes for my new job. I did really well with my budget and got some fabulous outfits. I like to have things that I can mix and match, or dress up or dress down. We literally shopped til we dropped for two days. We saw the fireworks all over Orlando on the fourth, because we were at a great vantage point. We saw Disney's fireworks, Hollywood Studios, Sea World, and many more all from one place. We had a great weekend.
