Wedding Congrats Card

Ok, so two friends got hitched this weekend and I made them this card.  I traced the pattern on the paper with a glue pen, and glittered the hell out of it!  Also used my new corner punch, and pale lovey dovey ribbon.  And once again used my scallop circle punch and gold gel pen.  There are certain items that every scrapper much have!

Go Baby Gamecocks!

He's an angry Gamecock chick!!!!!

A girl at work is having a baby, so the office is throwing her a shower.  I volunteered to make the invites, and the gal in charge inspired me to make it gamecock themed.  You know, to include the dad's tastes too!  Well, this is what I came up with.

I love my cricut.  I used my perma-tac gun, pop-up dots on the shell, old fashioned elmors glue, and FINALLY used one of my new cartridges!  The lettering and 'baby' phrase came from the 'All Mixed Up' font cartridge.  The little chick and egg came from the 'Create a Critter' shape cartridge.  Used garnet red to bring out the USC colors, with a baby blue background-since duh!  It's a boy!  Thankfully, nobody noticed the missing ' !

Love this chair J-baby brought home!  Perfect to dry cards on!!!

UPDATE!!!  Today, the chicka that is having the baby told me the sweetest thing!  She took her invite home and has it on her fridge!  COOL!!!!!

DragonCon2011 Sun. Day 3

First off, let me whine about how weird it is to blog via J-baby's laptop.  My desktop is all the way on the other side of the house, and I'm so comfy on the sofa, watching a classic movie on Netflix.  Anyway, here are the sunday pictures.  J-baby and I dressed up Steampunk, so the first pic is of my cutey!

He's so cute!!!

One of the speakers of the Steampunk panel

A very awesome prop

So many lovely outfits

I want her corset!!

Another speaker

A back injury inspired her outfit!  Cool!

The panel was interesting- and a few of the things they mentioned to do, we had already done with our costumes!  Unfortunately, it was so hot and humid, we could only stay in our outfits for about an hour, before we crawled back to the Sheraton and changed!

Sunday was definitely Steampunk day, wasn't it?  More later!

Intermission!

A really sweet woman at work broke her arm so I wanted to make her a 'Get Well' card.  Finally got to use that awesome floral chipboard I got ages ago!  Pretty!

DragonCon 2011 Day2 cont.

Ok, if I blog just one thing tonight, it has to be this pic.  As a surprise for J-baby, I payed for a Froggy Photo with Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day!  The moment really passed to quickly, and I am totally kicking myself now for not actually "speaking" with them.  In fact, our little one-on-one random encounter with Garrett Wang that same day totally topped this, but still, I will always have this picture!  And maybe the next time we do this, I will grow a pair and say "Hi!"

DragonCon 2011, Day 2 cont.

Saturday was a blast!  Here are more pictures!!!

Look out!  A Gazebo!!!

Yes, you know your home when you run across live action dungeons and dragons players!  OMG a Gazebo!!!

*snicker*

Darn, blurry kitty

Doesn't she look cool?

Dr. Horrible!

Awww, DragonCon is exhausting

EEEIIIIII

A true Trekkie

Ok, I was so shocked and amazed, I had to run up to the guy and beg him to keep his shirt off!  The guy laughed and said he'd been waiting his entire life for a woman to say that to him.  J-baby and I were waiting around for our next event, and we see this guy in a fish-net shirt.  Another nerd asked for his picture, and that's when I had my geeky moment. LOL

And on with more random shots!!!

Creepy

XENA!!!

Inspector Gadget!  Kinda looks like a guy I work with....

Access!!

And here we found the hidden door to an access tunnel!  Er....hamster tunnel...  Ok, I'm gonna fess up now...I might have mixed a few of the saturday pictures with sunday pictures.  And I have no recollection of taking monday pictures.  Oh well, I'm over it.  More pics to come!

From the tunnel!

WOW

WOW Again

Must follow tail!!!

Ok, I know this guy is from some video game, and he kills you and all, but I just had to follow him around the con!  The tail!!!  The TAIL!!!

OH SHIT....

Jareth from Labrynth!!!  And little Toby!!!

It's Abby from NCIS!!  Where's the crime scene?!  Hell, where's Gibbs?!

Dude, so many things from my childhood, and then things from my adulthood, and it all mixes into some weird pile of awesomeness!!!!

And down this tunnel.....

Jem!!!!

We somehow found ourselves with the twins again, and had to get food!!!  Even in the food court, there were tons of cosplayers!  I never wanted to leave!!!

Oh the twins!!!

Ok, it's not just about the costumes...It's also about the wheels!!

Food: check, awesome panels: check, random encounter with famous person: check, J-baby is good!

Chewie!!

Crawling back to the hotel, we run into a random Star Trek chick, and Chewie!  Hugs, and off to bed!  Guh, and still Sunday and Monday to go!!!!!!!
