Hello to each of you in the blogosphere! It's just about "Hump Day" again! I just cannot believe that July is almost over. Where did it go and how did it get away? At first, I thought it was just because I'm getting old and time is going faster. When you are younger, there is so much to learn that time goes slowly. Now, I'm NOT saying that I don't have much to learn - oh my gosh, that isn't so! It's just that, oh, I don't know, I'm getting old! LOL
Today, I am sharing with you our little Tilda as a cheerleader. Many, many moons ago, I was the university mascot for my school. I did that for a couple of years. It was a riot! I had so much fun! I got to travel with the teams and see so many places from Honolulu to New Orleans during Mardi Gras! I got to fly a Leer jet - sort of. I didn't know the pilot had put the jet on auto pilot, LOL. Imagine my surprise when the jet made a curve to the left and I wasn't the one doing the turning! I was just flying along in the sky thinking I was right where I was supposed to be! I think we were halfway to Guam! LOL Another time, I got a standing ovation from 10,000 people when I did something just a teeny bit risque during a half time performance. I made the newspaper, too! I was even written up by an famous sports writer/commentator named Jimmy "the Greek" Snyder. Maybe your hubbies would have heard of him. It was back in MY day! LOL So, cheerleading was a very positive experience for me! I think I lost about five pounds a game because I was sweating so much in that costume!
Enough of my babbling.
I have a new card to share. I think it's cute. I love how the inside turned out. I colored Tilda with my Copics. I went through distress ink withdrawal, but I had to do it. I colored and then used Stickles on the pom poms. They just look so cute IRL. I thought Tilda might help someone cheer up with her happy disposition. I left the inside lower half blank for a personal message. The top half was fun. I combined some small swirls I had to make the ones you see. Then, I enhanced the top with the gorgeous flowers. It just looks cheery to me.
Here are the shots:
Thank you so much for visiting! Please come back again to hear me yammer about what's happening in my kitchen, LOL! That's how my life is - not as interesting as when I was a working gal! I so love your visits!
XO,
Chris

hey Chris!!! I have missed you sweetie - so sorry I haven't been by in a while to say hello. Like you the time just seems to fly by! I don't think it is because we are getting older, I think it is more to do with the fact that we just want to fit so much more in! When we're younger time seems slower because often we are complainign that we are bored!! HAHA
I absolutely ADORE this card. You have done a wonderful job with miss Cheerleading Tilda and all the details are perfect!
I hope you are well. hugs xxoo
Wait - let me get my sunglasses!! Just so bright and cheery! Wonderful job on everything!
