Sorry, Can't post - off to spend the day with Edward, oh yeah, and my friend Shannon too 'spose!
See u after Timberline Peeps!

There's being INFATUATED..and then there is...

just plain dumb. I mean really WTH??? REALLY??? You all know I love Edward as much as the next super crazed obsessed infatuated seriously Twi-hard...but really? Really? Is this necessary??

Yes you are looking at a tattoo. These are from a Ugliesttattoos.com which is great for a few laughs. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the tat above.

Then I came across was this one...

Not quite as bad...but still. They definitely win on the bigger fan thingy.

Two more sleeps....

Actually for 2 different great events. My friend Diane is hosting a fabulous scrapbooking retreat this coming weekend called Timberline. About 35 of us will be at this really nice (albeit rustic) ranch scrapping the weekend away. I plan on working on my wedding album..finally. I know, only 7 years and 11 months late.. Hey, I was waiting for the right paper!

Can't wait for my strawberry waffles over the weekend.

Hope you're having a wonderful evening, and staying dry from all this rain we are having.

Glauser, out!

I Am Grateful

I remember in grade 5 I had the honour of standing in front of my whole elementary school and reciting this beautiful poem for our remembrance day memorial. Please take a moment today to be grateful for all the sacrifices, by not only the men and women who serve their country, but also the families and friends that sacrifice too. I have much gratitude, thank you.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

John McCrae

Copic Colour Challenge #38

It's been way too long since I've done one of these babies! This week's colours are..

I actually found this colour combo rather challenging. Guess I'm not so fond of the brighter colours as much as I thought...hmmm..maybe I need some new stamps to colour in!

Anyway, here is my go at it. I didn't have R85 - Shocking! I know, right!? So I substituted RV04 Shock Pink instead. I used Stampin' Up! Basic Black Card Stock, Ink Tempting Turquoise Card Stock and Melon Mambo Ribbon. Short and Sweet Sayings Stamp, and the window punch. There is also Versafine Ink, Clear Embossing Powder,a lovely Bella stamp, Nestabilities Oval (largest) and Scalloped Oval (largest) and I threw in some faux stitching with my white Uniball, and some random white brads...PHEW, that was a fingerful of typing!

Thanks for taking a peek!

Die Cut Diva's Blog Hop - Taaa Daaa...

It's been awhile since I completed a whole blog hop! So when I found this one over at Die Cut Diva's, I thought I'd give it a go. I'm glad I did. It was lots of fun, and I think the ladies did a great job. I also really liked that when you finished the hop, in order to complete it you have to post a yummy recipe of your own. Cool! So here goes...

SP Color Challenge #22

Scrapmaster's Paradise Color Challenge #22.

I'm loving this week's color combo. Total earthiness.

For this card, I've used all four colors...Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel, Dusty Durango and Sage Shadow. I've used Very Vanilla as the background for the stamping. Stamp sets used are "Autumn Splendor", "En Francais" and an old retired version of "Warm Words" (I think..)

I used Versamark and the colored inks along with clear embossing powder, and Versamark with gold embossing powder for the leaves.

Thanks for looking!
