Hi Friends! Happy Monday to all of you! I hope your weekend was filled with lots of fun and laughter, and also hope you stayed cool in this HEAT we're having! ugh! For the past few days here in Vegas it's been like 112 degrees ... omg ... it's like walking into an oven when you go outside ... lol! I go outside and in 2 minutes, I find the top of my nose is a little damp! I'm like, "My nose SWEATS?!" lol! Well, it sure does now ... especially since we have a little humidity too! argh!
Anyway, that's enough about gross sweating! LOL! This week at Belles 'n Whistles the challenge is "Distressing"! Isn't distressing fun?! Like do it when you're upset about something .... oooooh ... it's so much fun to be tearing into those papers and, and, and going nuts with the distressing tool or scissors! LOL! Oh but go easy if you're REALLY upset .. you may just end up downright ripping all your papers to shreds! LOL!
Well, even though I wasn't upset about anything, I still had fun with distressing this card ... lol ... and I used Sweet Dreams! ahhhh, this image kinda reminds my of my little boy. He'd sleep like this with his little tushy in the air, and I thought it was the sweetest thing ever!!! And those chunky little legs ... oh gosh!!!! I'd bite them (softly of course!!!), and in fact, I still do! hehe! He giggles and giggles, and tells me, "Mommy STOP!!!" Then one second later he's putting his legs on me as a hint for me to bite it again!!! What a tease! lol!
Well, I hope you all join us at Belles 'n Whistles for our "Distressing" Challenge! I'd love to see you there! :)

Hi Sunshine. Sorry to hear about your sweaty nose, you know it's hot when that happens.
I have to say this has got to be the sweetest card ever!!! I love this stamp I just had to buy one for myself. You did a fabulous distressing job. WOW all those tears and ink. Nice job sweets. Perfect timing I just got my Tim Holtz distresser in. I was tired of using my nails. Pretty fancy technique with the eyelets and lace. Stunning as ever my sweet friend. I always look forward to seeing your newest creation.
Love Bonnie
Your son is so cute, playing with you that way! lol
