What's Up, Freaky Dude?!??

Honestly?? My life is just NOT that interesting!! I think I have posted to my blog FOUR times this week ... and I have nothing "new and cool" to tell you! But the GOOD NEWS is that I am going to share what I made with you for this month's Control Freaks Blog Tour. I am on a ROLL lately!!! Probably because I have so many NEW and LOVELY things to play with!!! We are celebrating the "dudes" in our life this month by creating masculine projects. Did you just come from the blog of my friend, Melissa Stout??? She is SOOOOOO SOOOOOO good!!!

So I posted a photo here the first part of last week of the collage I made for my hubby's hangar wall. I had a BUNCH of pictures blown up (enlarged??!??) to frame and add to the collection. This scrapbook page was from an 8x10 that I ended up NOT using ... and it looks like it was MADE to go with the Best Route Suite, don't ya think??? The colors in the sky and the sign (and even from my t-shirt!) match the colors in the DSP sooooooooo perfectly!!! I couldn't resist!! And I think the new Corrugated Dynamic Impressions Embossing Folder is going to be VERY well used at my house ... it's DA BOMB!

This is what you call a "$100 card"!! I used so many different things on it, that I am SURE it is "cheaper to make your own card than to buy one in the store!" Hahaha ... we have all been there, haven't we??? I just kept going as thoughts were popping into my head while I was making this ... what can I say??? I LOVE my toys (TOOLS!!)!!
