Well, I am sorry this post is so late. Not what I had “planned”, but hey that is life right? I was suppose to have an owl card for the Dirty Dozen Challenge, but this has been an INSANE month for me-in a good a way, and I just plain ole didn’t get to it :C
The bad news is I feel worse today that the past few days. This nausea is kickin my butt! I heard for people getting this thing for up to a week! BLECH!! I will say it has kick started my mojo though! Stamping keeps my mind off feeling so yuck. So with that, today is a quick post. I do have some FAB-U-LICIOUS stuff to share soon-like a new to me product!! Stay tuned OK!
I am also working on getting some TY’s out the door. I always run so behind on those.
Now to the different kind of hip hop-
I got the Hip Hop Accessories set from Gina K- click—>HERE to check it out.
I made 3 cards that I wanted to share. I think its such a cute set, with lots of perfect sentiments. I am a sentiment JUNKY!!! Love them.
How cute is that hippo? Seriously? I just love it. This is the “baby” hippo.
I went a little button happy! But I think its a cute touch. Brings your eye to all the colors featured in the paper. I SO LOVE this paper by Making Memories. Its so cheery and fun. Gets me mixing colors I normally may not have.
It then lead me to this card-same paper pack
I LOVE circles! I have no idea WHY, I just do. They are just so fun. I made this while I was playing with my CutterBee Circle Maker. Honestly, not sure I like it-let alone love it. I think you need the paper to be a full sheet to make circles. So not happy about that! Maybe Im cutter challenged. All I know is I am SO happy I got it with a coupon. I will practice more before I make my final decision. All I can say is I wouldn’t tell my best friend its a MUST HAVE. I would say NO WAY! You can have mine! LOL!
All in all this was a fun card to make. Simple and fun.
Onto another
OK so I LOVE that sentiment! can you tell?
I had to use this little roo-holding the kite! The kite is paper pieced, and 3D. I punched a hole so she is holding the string. Scribbled a white pencil for the cloud.
Yes, MORE circles too! I just can’t help it! And yes, more buttons. I guess I was just in a button and circle mood when I made these. This is more Making Memories paper-in the girly collection.
Well Im sorry Im not all chatty. Maybe that is a good change!
Im back to my stamp room-or bed. Depends on the kids. You know once you have them nap time is RARE! You never know what they may get into if you fall asleep for even a second. I can’t believe what they get into with me AWAKE!!! Maybe Ill just go to bed early.
Till tomorrow.

Well I am sorry your not feeling well. I enjoyed your cards today. I know of product I’ve learned has more things you can do with then was planned. They are called fantastix. I heard you could color with ink with them, use mineral spirit technique, do touch ups. Well you probably knew about them. I have a coupon for you I will email it to you.

Wishing you well Lauren! Love your samples for the Gina K set! So cute! Love that you used buttons on 2 of your cards! I have a ton and never use them! Thanks for the inspiration!
Hope you feel better soon! Like, tomorrow!:) I am so glad you let us in on the circlecutter. I was at Target, and thought, well, Lauren has it so it must be good. So glad I passed it up. It just looked weird, kwim? What buttons did you use? I love the little roo one. Kris
Yuck… still feeling yucky? No fun. I sure hope you’re feeling better soon!
As far as your cards go – they’re fantastic! The kangaroo is my favorite too! Love the paper too.
I had to laugh about the nap. I was thinking, there is no way I’d try a nap with Joey running around let alone three.
Get some rest and I hope you’re feeling better soon.
HUGS,
Renee
