A LITTLE BUGGY TOLD ME............

Well I just got my Store Front Cricut Cartridge in the mail the other day and of course I had to cut out the little GREEN bug.......he is just to adorable....Word has it that Provo Craft may only be producing a few of these carts.......so if you love the bug, hop on over to Hallmark Scrapbook and purchase this cartridge...

SWEET BIRTHDAY.............

OOOOOOOOO lovin this ice cream cone on the Stretch Your Imagination Cricut Cartridge...it is so fun....Here is a birthday card I made for a friend over at Cricut.com...my intentions today was to feed my need for more scrapbooking paper........I haven't been on a major spending trip in a LONG TIME......and it is really driving me nuts......I so want so of that yummy basic grey new pudding paper.....YIKESSSSSSSSS...but instead I remembered that a special person was having a birthday soon so I made her a card today instead.......Feels good to have done this instead of doing something for myself today...I hope she likes it...

OKAY.....I AM GOING TO PLAY THE.........

TAGGED GAME..........I got tagged by Robyn over at Here by Grace and I so love that girls layouts and CARDS......she is just one awesome scrapper....I want to be like her not when I grow up but right now....Anyways I need to list 7 facts about myself or weird stuff......
Some of these things I have listed before...............

1. I so loved being pregnant 4 times and often wish I could be again..(yes very weird)

2. I dream of one day having this fabulous scrap room that is surrounded with paper and embellishments and all the latest tools, machines, cameras etc.... from floor to ceiling...all decked out with pink and red walls; with awesome hardwood floors...with a beautiful big desk in the middle.....(a girl can dream; can't she...)

3. I was voted most likely to succeed in life in my school days.

4. When I use to be in the outside working world, I literally worked for just about every bank in my town.....in search of being a Loan Officer...instead I was always just a Loan Processor...I just couldn't wait for the Loan Officers there to quit or move up the ladder...neither ever happened so I kept moving around...crazy I tell ya....

5. My Children so want a dog badly, but I keep telling them it isn't gonna happen...little do they know, that it will happen (i think)...when they are all gone...I want a poodle all to myself....

6. The perfect snack for me is Strawberries and Shrimp....perfect combination.

7. And last but not least, I have been trying to be so good in not buying the latest scrapbooking paper that comes out each and every season and it is DRIVING ME NUTS...........I so need a FIX.

Okay here are the next 5 people I am tagging........and here are some NEW RULES.........

Sherrie
Amy
Debbie
Cindyg
Sharon

All you new people answer the following questions:

1. if you could have 100.00 worth of scrapbook paper or assorted embellishments, which would you choose?

2. If you had to choose between using only stamps or rubons, which would you choose?

3. If you knew how to do both awesome cards and layouts but could only do one for a whole year...which would you do?

4. Would you rather own a scrapbooking store or have your own scrapping room at home...(can't have both he he he)

5. And last but not least, what is your CURRENT cardmaking or scrapping style....

Please answer the questions on your blog and tag 5 more people to answer the same questions...should be really fun to see the answers..........make sure you list on your blog who you are tagging....thanks
