Antsy Pants!!

Hiya Friends!!  Well it snowed AGAIN here late yesterday and now I'm really DONE with winter---and we're supposed to get another major snow storm on Friday!  HOW much snow can one gal take--not any more that's how much?!!  LOL!  This has been the worst winter EVER here in VA--and that stupid groundhog of course says more winter to come--well you know where that groundhog can go dontcha'! Giggle!  I'm keeping busy INSIDE crafting, working on future projects and reading--I'm reading the best book right now called "Saving CeeCee Honeycutt" (see sidebar for link), it's really good!  I'm still keeping to my Belly Fat Cure eating and I've lost 14 lbs so far so I'm pretty happy--although I did cheat the other day and had 2 small Reeses PButter cups, but shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....don't tell okay!! :o) I HAD to have some chocolate, my migraine was killing me and my head told me to eat some chocolate to feel better...no really, I swear it did, LOL!!  Anywhooooo....thought you might want to share in my SNOW PAIN so here's a pic I took last night for ya!

Antsy Pants!!

So I found these very fun stamps while I was at the CHA SuperShow and they just gave me a good giggle!  I'm not a big bug girl, but something about these inkling ants just cracked me up ya know!  These are by G-Rated Stamps HERE and as I picked my set out (Inklings in the Kitchen) I knew immediately what I was going to do with them!  And if you don't like bugs, they have other cute stamps as well & great sentiments!  I kept the layouts simple with red, black and kraft cs and I embossed half of the red cs with my Asian CB folder--the gingham ribbon is from PTI.

I think these would be perfect for any man in your life or for really fun barbeque/picnic invitations don't you?  Since the construction of them is fairly simple, you could mass produce lots of these.  I went over the ants with Black Diamond Stickles for sparkle!  The "flippin' good" sentiment is by G-Rated Stamps as well--I love it!  I paper pierced the oval while the paper was still in my oval nestability die.

This one I traced around my nestabilitiy circle with my black Spica pen before I took off my die.  The sentiment is from an H&M Stamp set (sorry, no longer available) which I thought was just perfect!  Sometimes it's hard to create fun masculine cards but these stamps and colors made it super easy!

Hope these put a smile on your face today and maybe gave you a lil' giggle as well!  I'll see ya back here tomorrow with some fabulous NEW Digi Releases from Pink Cat Studio!!

  5. How sweet - and you're right - they did make me giggle. And we're expecting another snow storm here in the heartland, so the image of a picnic ant really helps to take my mind off the gloom and doom weather we've had of late. Thanks for sharing!

  12. Oh those ants are TOO cute, I'm not a bug person either, but I think I need those!!
    Question about the Belly Fat Cure, I've read the book and starting today (I've been doing low sugar for awhile now, but not counting them so this hopefully will be the key to dropping some weight!) BUT, question for ya... if less than 5 carbs = 0... then what if you had 4 of those 5 carb items through the day, wouldn't that add up to be a carb serving? I need to get on a Jorge Cruise message board I guess or re-read that chapter in the book, but thought I'd ask someone I 'knew' that was doing the plan! 14 pounds is awesome Suzanne!! Way to go!
