PIO - Tween Card - Stampin boutique

For Digi Darla hop please scroll down or click here 


Good Morning everyone!!

We have another challenge at Pile it On!!!  Sponsored by Stampin Boutique.  I love to get as many challenges as I can into a card.  This time I have 14 Challenges with this card.    I usually start with an image, following with theme, pic colours, a sketch and then the end with the embellishments!  I tried to pic something different than what everyone out there is doing - No Valentine's for this one!!!


 inside the card is clean... I don't have too many young guys in my life so i might give the card for someone else to use 
 and of course I used my cricut for the trophy and blinged up with my stickles... i don't know how I ever made cards and LO's before my cricut and stickles 

 it's this the cutest little guy....  no go to Pile it on challenge for your opportuntiy to win some digi stamps from Stampin Boutique.

icopic #67 - red
Crafty Ribbons - one for the men or boys
Dutch care card inspiration - picture of cars

what are you doing????

So I have borrowed this from others that I follow - and I thought that it would be a great idea !

Watching: Just getting ready to watch the new "Big Bang Theory"  love love love this show
Eating: fish, cucumbers and waiting for my fries to cook
Drinking: Pespi well it is that or coffee and it is too late for coffee!
Wearing: still in my work clothes - should have changed but feeling lazy
Wishing: I could be given the opportunity to win a huge amount of money so I could craft all day!
Needing: To call my family... i have been trying to remember to call at least once a week
Thinking: I might be getting early symptoms of carpal tunnel. I woke up this morning and my thumb and index finger are pretty numb. It pretty much stinks!
Worrying: about my daughter making car payments... i know... she shouldn't even have one at this age... I tried to tell her but ... you know how it is - they just don't listen
Listening: to the smoke alarm beeping... i should really get a new battery.  I thought that when they hooked it up electronically with wires it wouldn't need more batteries
Wondering: If I can clone myself to get more stuff done that i should be doing cleaning etc :)
