Alcohaulin' Ass

This one's for my little bro.  He turned 20 yesterday, and thanks to The Hubs and I, is a metal lovin boy.  Loves all music that's hard, fast, driven, and mean.  Being a 20 year old male, he also digs scantily clad chicks.

Here's Carmen Electrafying(not the name I chose) from the Kenny K Krash Kittenz.  I won her for naming another one of the Kittenz, Honey Sparks.  Haven't used her yet.  Carmen, however, fit right along with what I wanted to do.  My bro idolizes Dimebag Darrell(guitarist for Pantera and later on Damageplan).  He's got posters, videos, cds, you name it.  One of Dime's famous quotes- "Getcha pull!"  Dime was shot to death 12/8/04, while playing on stage.  It was a huge loss to the metal community, a community I'm proud to be a member of.  That's Dime doin his thing in the background.  Little bro loved this card a lot.  I'm particularly fond of how I colored Carmen.

I've been practicing.  I really like her. Happy New Year to you all.

All In The Family

I got a lot of tattoos.  A lot.  Well, that depends on who you're comparing me too, but regardless, it's a lot.  I've been getting tattooed for 17 years, and as of last night,  have finally finished all my families tattoos.  Just wanted to share.

This is for my little sister.  I could have gotten a better picture.

This is for my Momma, who left us Christmas Eve 2005.

Yep.  You guessed it.  For Grandma.  I've only had one Grandparent my entire life, and it was the woman I was named after, my Grandma Kathryn. She's an amazing seamstress, specializing in wedding dresses.  Yep, you guessed it again.  She made my wedding dress.

 I got this last night.  For my Dad. Nothing like the sting of a fresh tattoo the day after.

My husband and I, because it's Forever.  Merry Christmas.

She's got a pwesent for you..

Just a super freaking cute little girl. Free digi, found here.  Cool Glowskull in the middle.  That's it.

For the Boys

I ask a question to two of my bachelor pals-blonds, brunettes, or redheads?  Scott, the first one to answer, says "All of them.".  I ask doesn't he have a preference?  He says no, they're all good.  So, this is what he got.

 I chose purple.  I used Allura Von D, from Kenny K.  I used this awesome silver metallic paper to mount her on.  When taking the picture, I noticed it's quite reflective, so that's me behind her. Hello!

My other pal, Matthew, answered quite differently.
"I'm not keen on blonds in general but a short haired blond, like really short, will weaken my knees. It's over, I'm bent!  Brunettes are the depth in the dark.  Vast and mysterious.  You can fall into a brunette, become enveloped, and get comfortably lost.  Redheads, I got a thing for them!  Smooth, pink, lightly freckled.  Flat out, they're the softest women I have ever felt."

Verbatim.  When asked if Matthew had a favorite color, his answer was "Royal blue and emerald green.  Looks Irish that way."  So, this is what Matthew got.

I have a confession to make.  I can't draw.  Really.  And I've been learning how to color from watching and trying to emulate others whom I deem Gods in the world of Copics.   One of them is my Creepy gal pal.  She used this same Kenny K image on a card. only in blue.  Beautiful hues of blue.  This was the last of my Xmas pack from Kenny, and this was the one chick who intimidated me, as far as coloring is concerned.  So, I took a queue from Creepy, and tried to do what she did, only in green.  It's not as good, but it's not bad, either.  I got the sentiment as a free digi from Bugaboo Stamps.  Oddly enough, when I went back to check out her card again, I noticed I used the same sentiment.  Hmmm.  Stalker, much?  Either way, both Matt and Scott enjoyed their girls, and said they're framing them.

You'd Better Not Pout...

Or this little Kenny K cutie won't bring you anything.

This is the digi Xmas Shopping, from the aforementioned Kenny K Xmas pack.  Only got one more lady from that pack to go.  Hope I can get it done. 

Ho Ho friggin Ho

Just a fun little card with a Dustin Pike freebie from last year.

Cracks me up every time I look at it.  I love this guy.

Battery Bill

My husbands employer takes very good care of him, which in turn means us.  Every year, they take the employees out to a Holiday dinner at a nice restaurant, and hand out Christmas bonuses.  Of course, all the employees put in their own money to get the owners something nice.  My husband asked me a few days ago if we had a gift bag lying around, something to put the bosses gift in.  I'm one of those people who actually DON'T save gift bags, so here's what I made instead.

A card!  He works for Battery Bill, and you'll never guess what they sell.  Yep.  Batteries, for anything that needs a battery.  Anything.  I printed out a pic of the front of the building, then set it in sepia tones and ran it along a brown ink pad to antique it a bit.  I also added a drawing of the inside of a 12 volt battery, antiqued it a bit as well.  My background paper was a prize I won from HDH couple weeks back.  It's from Susan's Crafty Chaos, and it's a Simply Steampunk set.  All her papers are digital, which is really cool, because you'll never run out.  Of course, you'll run out of ink, but that's remedied easily.  Couple of jewels I colored up with Copics, and it's done.  Now, the only sucky thing about the Hubs holiday party is that no one else but employees can go.  No spouses. I know, right?  So, I'm hoping they'll like this enough to invite me next year, or I just might be party crashing.
