After I make a card, I usually go show it to my hubby. He has become quite the expert papercrafter over the past 6 years and I enjoy getting his feedback. Sometimes he makes comments that are worth mentioning and this was one of those days!
Me: Look honey, isn't this girl SO cute? (squealing)
Hubby: Yep, cute.
Me: Thanks (as I run back to the stamp room for more stamping fun)
1 hour later
Me: Isn't that card funny? Do you think people will be offended that I used the "Bite me" sentiment?
Hubby: No, but I don't get it.
Me: What do you mean?
Hubby: Well, she isn't biting anything...
Me: I know, but she looks grumpy and she is telling someone to bite her. (giggling)
Hubby: Yes, but I think you should have used a scalloped punch in the corner of the card to make it look like a bite mark.
Me: Oooooooooo honey (high pitched cooing voice comes out), you said scalloped... you know what scalloped is. That is SO cute. :)
Now, do I think that was a good idea for my card? No... but isn't it SO adorable that he knows what scalloped is? LOL I was just SO tickled about that.
Okay, back to the card! I stamped Lillith in Memento black and colored her with Copic markers. I made the frog speckled by dotted him with a brown fine-tip marker.
OH... one more thing to mention about my card! See that new watermark I added to my photos? I got it HERE from Karen Giron for only $2! You know what's even BETTER? She made it into a brush so that I could use it easily with my Photoshop Elements 7 editing software! She is SO sweet and helpful! I just wanted to pass it on to you in case YOU would like one for your photos. :)

ReplyDeleteOk, Frank cracks me up. very cute card. For the record, I would totally "get" that card.LMBO
ReplyDeleteLMAO! "Bite Me!" was a FAVE phrase of mine for a VERY long time, I have come to find out that SOMETIMES in my job fave phrases are just NOT a good thing... LOL
ReplyDeleteTotally cute card and I'm not a fan of peach, but this is CUTE!!!
Your hubby is TOO funny, I was impressed that mine remembered what a swag was... LOL He likes to critique my card but I hardly ever listen to him, he likes TONS of "stuff" on them.... and it NEVER MATCHES!!!! :)
Gosh are you lucky husband wise! This is a card I should give to my hubby as he totally does NOT get why I stamp! tee hee...
ReplyDeleteGreat coloring, BTW!
Bwahahaha....so darn cute Jody and awesome sentiment!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome sentiment and I think it works Perfectly with her!!! LOL on your DH!!! :)

ReplyDeleteI think this card is adorable! I love the "sentiment", that's right up my alley. My favorite is one from Stampotique that says La Dee Fricken Dah! It cracks me up every time.
This card is just the cutest; your coloring is amazing!!! Love the sentiment; it fits so well with that image!!!
ReplyDeleteJody - you are too funny! I always love hearing what your hubby has to say! I also show all of my cards to my DH so he knows all the terminology too! And he gives me suggestions for cards that makes me fall in love with him all over again! Aren't we lucky?! ;)
