hAnglar and Cute Card Thursday....

Good Friday morning all,

I am off work today!! YaHoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! I have been working on a few crafty things this morning and hope to have all done and post on the weekend. I have a card this morning that I have done for Cute Card Thursday Challenge # 66. I have painted a very cute hAnglar image added a bunch of different brands of papers. I am not one of those people that can just use a paper line on my projects. Half of the fun for me is putting all different papers together. That to me is an art all of it's own. I have used a few prima type flowers and few brads, and boy oh boy did I add buttons. LOL....... That cute little bee and ladybug are both buttons that I have cut the shank off of and then I took my acrylic paints and painted them. :o) They were dull and boring so I spiced them up just a tad. And the tan-ish buttons I added dots to with my paint also. But then that is not anything new for me. I am just a detail kind of freak. I tend to over work the details sometimes. I just can't leave well enough alone. *blush*.....I did add wire to the ladybug for antennas and I did sew the buttons on with my sewing machine. :o)
I am going to challenge myself for the next week or so and try to stay away from pink unless it is called for in a challenge. :o) Pink is one of my favorite colors and I love to make cards with it. I need to use other colors too...... LOL........
Anyway here it is...........

Papers: bazill card stocks, Basic Grey, Cosmo Cricket,Bo Bunny,7gypsies

Thank you Vicki from Cuddly cards. Have you been there to see her cute cuddly cards? If not then go look if you have a minute or two.

the rules of this award are that I must thank the person who sent it to me, tell you 7 honest things about myself and pass this award on, so here we go................. 7 honest things about me.......
1. I am a craftaholic I get withdrawal symptoms if I don't get to spend a bit of time each day in my room creating. It is therapy for me. :o)
2.I am a designer purse junkie.
3.I do not like the cold. I would rather be in a 100 degree weather than in the cold.
4.I have a fast break candy bar (by Reese) and a diet coke everyday at lunchtime. In my mind the diet coke off sets the sugar from the bar.. LOL........
5.I don't sleep much these days. I go to bed very wee hours of the morning and get up with the sun. :o(
6.And the worst thing about me is that I am a CLEAN FREAK.. I can't stand a spot of dust, a smudge anywhere. I hate things out of place.
7. Everything I wear has to ALL match. shoes/purse...EVERYTHING :o)

I am going to pass this award on to Riet from the Netherlands...... She ALWAYS leaves me uplifting comments. Thanks RIET... now I want to know more about you. :o)
