wishing you laughter...

Hello...I have a Cosmo-licious day for you...no surprise, eh?

Check it out...I scored on some new Circa 1934!!!  I literally picked it up at Ellen Hutson's...ordered it online and swung by there on my way home..gotta love that...and pssttt...got to meet up with THEE Ellen AND get a tour..now how fun is that?!!!

What's that?!  Yes, I finally ordered and ACTUALLY used my PTI Beautiful Blooms die...it's one thing to order, it is a whole 'nother thing to actually use them...why yes, that IS another Jenni Bowlin button...

I absolutely LOVE the latest Got Sketch challenge...

This is also for the latest Scrappy Saturday Challenge:

...Gotta love a Birthday Challenge...

Here's my daily Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather November card...

Sheesh, I hope you all aren't getting sick of Mitten Weather because I'm not....I'm soooo going to be ready for the holiday's this year:)

This particular card was easy smeasy'ish...I just handstitched the 'Greetings Friends' element {& matted it on black cardstock}...yup, that my friend is handstitching..ugh, which took way too much time...BUT...I love how it looks...I'm really diggin' how the black just makes it pop!  The base is a wonderful Fabriano note card...love those...I popped on some Kaiser bling and called it good:)

I'm also entering this one into the Paper Crafts November 2010 Gallery Challenge, Merriest Holiday Cards!

Ahhh...the smell of coffee brewing, isn't it thee best?!!

I finally picked up the Hero Arts "cup of coffee" image last week and couldn't wait to ink it up:

haha...if you didn't know, I'm a huge coffee-a-holic:)

All the patterned paper is Echo Park Paper, the kraft/button are PTI and the sentiment is A Muse...I'm thinking of whipping up several of these in different green patterns for Christmas Cards:)

The scallops were made with my 1 3/8 circle punch..

I was inspired by {a flipped} FTL109:

I'm also playing in the Scrappy Saturday Challenge over at Wee Memories...CAS Card:
