Freud and a Cup of Java

I'm having trouble deciding what to create for cards today. Where is my Bubble muse when I need her? I keep logging in to my work PC trying to stay 'caught up' with the onslaught of returning and new students. This should be my total Bubble Time and I keep working on WORK STUFF! Somebody hit me with a 'weekends are for chillin' stick'!

I did manage to get one card made today. Someone suggested I make some civil union/wedding cards. Since I have wedding card phobia maybe that's the approach I should take. Hmmmm...maybe the whole, "I can't make a decent wedding card" affliction that I seem to suffer from is Freudian? I'll ask my husband...or maybe not! Wonder if this card would qualify as a 'commitment ceremony' card?...just a thought.



Home is Where...~Base card PaperTrey Ink Ocean Tides
~Layer of BasicGrey Archaic (A present from sista Gail - thank you)
~Layer of The Paper Company Chocolate Truffle cardstock - with edges distressed using the edge of metal ruler
~Digital image from Creative Mind of Sylvie, printed on Gina K Pure Luxury Pure Ivory, colored with Copics, trimmed with Stampendous Cobalt Blue embossing powder
~Background of the Pure Ivory cardstock is dotted with coffee and sponged with Versacolor Powder Blue (Wondering why in the world I paint brush coffee dots for background? Well THAT would be because as I was closing the 'sipper' on my 'to-go' coffee mug two spots of coffee plopped onto the already Copic'd cardstock. So as they say, "when life gives you lemons..." Or as I say, "when stupidity creates havoc...just go with the flow."
~I trimmed the circle opening to the bird house open and 'stuffed' shredded paper through the hole
~Vintage seam binding (also a gift from sissy Gail) purchased at Simple Treasures on Etsy
~Vintage button (it's actually a glass button - it must be REALLY old)
Challenges:
Shabby Tea Room - "House and Home" using blue, cream, brown, white
Stamping 411 - layout
Our Creative Corner - use embossing
Now - I may drive out to Hobby Lobby and use their 40% off coupon. It seems really silly to drive over there to use one coupon for one Copic marker - but who can pass up 40% off of anything? Maybe I'll print TWO coupons and make hubby go with me. He can buy a Copic too and give it to me as a gift. How considerate of him. "Oh John....where ARE you...????"

All good wishes,
Nancy
