We have a couple openings if anyone wants
to join our fun little club...
it's a great way to not only get great ideas
and build up your inventory but
best reason is to get more than just bills in the mail!!

See You In September!

Where's My Poodle Skirt?????

Well Saturday night (after my busy SAS day), Jerry and I went with a few other couples from the  Poway Cruisers Club to the drive-in movies in Santee!!  Talk about nostalgic.. wowie zowie... I wish I still had my poodle skirt! (OK I never really had a poodle skirt but always wanted one!)

In all the years I've lived here, never had been to Santee Drive-In. It's one of the very few drive-in movie theaters still in operation....  Before we left while Jerry was loading up the trunk with our cooler and chairs, I got a few shots of my very favorite car in the Club sittin' in our driveway......'57 Chevy Belair 4-Door Hardtop

They had planned this outing months ago, so at the time wasn't sure what movie would be playing, but then it wasn't about the movie really, it was about the adventure... what's the saying.... 

Happiness is a Journey....

Not a Destination.

So we caravan-ed down and then you had to wait in line for the gates to open... everyone (not just our club) gets out of their car and stands around talking to others... was a great social way to meet other people!!  Of course the "old cars" got a lot of attention... Apparently the couple who organized the event go a couple times a month as they love it better than walk-in theaters...

Here's our few (five) cars waiting in line... 

kinda cool the way it worked out... 

we had a car from each decade:

1930s

 1940s

1950s

1960s

1970s

OK ... gates opened and they're finally letting us in.. cost is $8 per adult... not too bad at today's prices, especially when you consider you get to see two movies! (However we all remembered the days it was $3 per car... thus the reason some of us piled into the trunk just to get as many in the car as we could!!!)

Once we pulled in we all parked in a row together

and set up our chairs in front of car...

You'll notice they no longer have the poles at each spot with 

speaker you use to hang on your car window...

now everyone tunes their FM radios into particular station....

It was like camping in a parking lot...

or reminded me of Movies in the Park...

Oh I never mentioned what we got to see...

Here's the marquee I finally got a quick shot of it on the way out

(just before Midnight!)

Yes, the boys would have been proud of us....

Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo and Leonardo

returned... as the Teen Age Mutant Turtles....

what can I say.. it was entertaining at least....

however our second movie was a bomb...

we left before it was over....

Guardians of the Galaxy

way too much Marvel comics for us!

Florida Fish Story???

I'm sooooo missing my little mr.b..... David sent me some pictures.. they've been going fishing nearly every day..... and Brayden's loving it.... becoming quite the fisherman.... they don't have to go far as they have their own pier in their backyard.....

Here's what he caught this week...

starting with Brayden the Fisherman....

Ending with David the Chef.....

Pretty delicious too I understand!

Up Close & Personal

As promised.. here's the cards we made on Saturday....

You already saw my pop up card

 in the sneak peek last week..... 

but here it is again....

You are My Sunshine!

Nautical yet with a little bling....

The new watercolor effect is just so 

dang cute and elegant at the same time!

Yipes Stripes...

that's for sure!

Got the stripes and paper angles

going every which way... love it!

This Kinda Koala is Kinda Kute...

at least I think so!

I used the dry emboss technique and first

outlined the little koala bear before 

rubbing it out to create semi 3D image...

I colored the little guy with Blendabilities and then

stuffed very small part of cotton balls on the

back side before adhering it to the Soft Suede CS.

It gave it the puffed up look... love it!

Since the new SU Holiday Catalog begins next week

I couldn't help but make a couple cards to get the 

holiday juices flowing!

Absolutely love the new swirl embossing folder...

look closely and you can see the itty bitty daisy on each side...

that will make for an adorable garden card!

In the mean time, it's Christmas all the way!

I couldn't decide which Christmas version to make...

so you know me... Ms Undecisive.... 

so went with two different designs...

Here's the Christmas tree version:

I've been wanting to use the new DSP super thin 

newsprint paper and came up with this adorable vintage card....

I wadded up the DSP then smoothed it back out 

before flattening it to the cardstock, 

gives it that old vintage look... purposely wanting winkles to show

along with the delicate ribbon that is!

I just love the new In Colors... especially Lost Lagoon.... can you tell???

Here's a card I must give credit to Lynette

She created the idea for our Crazy Card Club using

inside pop up flowers as a surprise....

She also helped me do all the die cutting of the flowers!

(Thank you Lynette!!!)

Well that was about it...

now I really gotta get my brain in gear for the holidays...

We're at the 90 day countdown!
