How U Doin'?

German Phrase of the Day: Er sieht sehr gut aus! = He is very good-looking! I often use this phrase to describe my husband. :-)

So, How YOU doin'? Now, say that again using the same inflection as Joey from Friends. Now do you get it? I love imitating that phrase of Joey's to my husband...I just think it's funny. The other thing that is funny is my Dusseldorfer Flirt-Deckel. When hubby and I went out on the town and collected all those coaster's for Julie's gift, one of the coasters we picked up was called a Flirt-Deckel. What is a flirt-deckel you ask? It's a way to give your "deets" to someone you are interested in! I thought this was brilliant marketing on the part of some brewery ad guy! There are 4 lines to fill in with headings like "Ich hoere auf den Namen:" which means I am known by the name: and "Meine Freunde moegen an mir, dass..." which means "my friends like of me that..." etc.

Since this card showcases Beachabella flirting with Surfafella I just couldn't resist telling you about my fun find. Now of course I will never use this coaster in anything besides a scrapbook page detailing our fun night out (well...not fully detailing...wouldn't want Julia to get the wrong idea about her folks some day, right?! ;-)

Ok, on to the card. I again used this week's sketch challenge (sorry ladies!) but I did at least switch from my PTI sets to Bellas - just for Linda! I used more of my Pallet o' Prints paper (anyone else counting down the days to July 1 and the new catty?!?) and watercolor wonder crayons for the coloring. Nice quick and easy card since I had to actually clean this morning and couldn't spend all my time stamping! Oh well...guess it's gotta get done.

Stamps: Beachabella, Surfafella from Stampingbella, rough edge alpha from SU!

A little beefcake ...

German Phrase of the Day: Es ist shon Mittwoch. = It is Wednesday already. And on Friday, we get a wonderful break because my daughter's kindergarten is having a sleep-over!! Woohoo!! Parents night out!!!

Today, I have some beefcake for you ladies. I have truly fallen in love. I mean, isn't he just adorable?? How could you not love that winning smile, those adorable little eyes, and that spiky blond hair??

I got 8 new Bellas and Fellas in the mail yesterday, and HAD to ink them up! So, I stamped a whole bunch while crafting with my daughter, then made up a few cards in the evening after her bedtime. I think he's my favorite!

His shorts are the blue striped paper from last summer's SU! designer paper...and the DP behind him is the other side of that same sheet. I colored him in with Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Creamy Caramel (he needed to have a tan!) and summer sun for his hair. Oh...and I used some more gray from my neutrals pack to do his whistle and sun glasses!

Since I couldn't use ribbon (too girly for this hottie!) I gave him some hardware - brads! Guess I could call him Brad, huh?? But, I tried to make him look like my hubby...he's a swimmer you see, so he has these incredible shoulders. Well...I don't want to brag, so I'll stop here! ;-)

Hope you all enjoyed him...I'll probably post more of my bellas this week, and try to get some Big Bloom cards done as well! Trying to stock up for our next trip which starts a week from tomorrow...Yikes!!!

Supplies:
Stamps: Surfafella and Life's a Beach sentiment from StampingBella
CS: Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, watercolor paper, SU! DP
Ink: Jet Black stazon, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery
Acc: Black Brads, WWC, Aquapainter, word window punch
