You're Soda-lightful

I've been itching to use this sentiment from Joy'slife.com...too cute. This card was made for a teenage boy...They're so hard to do!! I used diamond glaze in the bottle cap...the ink bled...oh well...It's driving me nuts...but I'm going to leave it...kinda distressed looking. Anyone have a tip on what product to use to avoid bleeding...let me know. Thanks for stopping by...Lee-Ann :)

50's Primetime Cafe layout-Disney World

Get your elbows off the table...finish your food...eat your vegetables...what, do you live in a barn...and the dreaded...Don't make me get my belt...my kids HOWL at this restaurant. ps...We had the best server "Cooper".

I absolutely LOVE this restaurant in Disney Studios. It is so funny. The servers will feed you your vegetables if you don't eat them. It's a throw back to the 50's era. The whole place reminds me of my Nana's house when I was little. I love it so much that I chose to have my  42 nd Birthday there. The food is pretty good too. My son Jake even had his plate hung on the wall, as it was so clean. It's important to clean your plate at this restaurant. It's a can't miss. This paper is a new line still available at DAT'S. There is actually Diamond Glaze on the tv screen...so neat. I also used a stampset from Hero arts to make my own background on the beige paper from Echo Park.

Another Father's Day card bites the dust!! I made this one for my Dad...AKA Gramps. When I was a teen...I was always mortified by the  vehicles my father drove. He wore a tie to work every day and came home to immediately change into grimey overalls and hit the  garage. He loved to work on cars or trucks. He used to fix them up and drive them. As a teen I always used to die if he chose to drive me in one of these old...partially finnished vehicles. I used to say...PLEASE Dad...drop me off on the corner...I'll walk the rest of the way. One time he insisted on dropping me off...right in front of the Highschool. The truck back fired...everybody looked as I slunk out of the truck. Now when I think about it...I laugh...I was so self centered...only caring how other teens saw me. If only we had adult brains when we had our teen aged bodies. Maybe cheezies, a coke and a persian wouldn't have been my fav choice for lunch every day. Some things just aren't important. This truck cut reminded me of that old truck...although that truck was red and rusted and partially bongoed(filled)...yikes!

ps-a persian is a cinnimon swirled donut with pink icing...invented and can only be purchased in Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada. The persian makes up for our cold, snow filled winters.
