31 Days of Crafting - Day Twenty-Five - Grinchmas Cocoa

Happy Monday all.  Are you dragging your feet as much as I am?  It’s been a HARD one lemme tell ya.  This card was soooooooo fun to make though.  I could not wait to use this Grinch mug die the minute I got it in my caffeine-loving hands because every time I've tried to buy it it's been out of stock!  I just love how it pops against that patterned paper.  Echo Park for the win!

Thank you so much for looking and happy caffeinated Christmas crafting!  Laters!!

31 Days of Crafting - Day Eighteen - Be Fearless

I don't really like CAS cards.  I don't honestly really even like this card, and I'm the one who made it.  But here it is anyway.  I'm not really inspired today at all, can you tell??  (I'll be honest again, I almost entitled this post, Spring?  Bitch, please.  So yeah, mojo went on vacay today.)

31 Days of Crafting - Day Seventeen - Gingerbread Christmas Wishes

The only thing I like better than a Christmas card is a Christmast cocoa card!!!  (Or coffee or tea!)  I actually made peppermint hot cocoa the other morning because it might be March, but Michigan weather doesn't know that.

31 Days of Crafting - Day Thirteen - He's JUST Ken!!!

Look, ya'all.  He's JUST Ken.  This "I am Kennough" BS really pisses me off.  He's the boyfriend.  The side piece.  And let's be HONEST.  In the movie, Ken is portrayed as douchey and a complete and total waste of Barbie's time.  (And NO I haven't seen the movie but I do have eyeballs and a brain so I can think for myself, thank you!)  And maybe you didn't come here to hear a diatribe on all the things that are wrong with the Barbie movie (there are a lot of them!), you came here to see a card.  And we'll get to that.  But as it is MY blog, I can rant if I want to.  And I'm going to!

I mean in the pictures I've seen, the movie captures many of Barbie's sides.  I don't recall a creepy, douchey Ken doll that looks somewhat stuck in the 1980s, do any of you??

I make a card for Barbie every year, but I haven't made one for Ken in awhile.  Five years, in fact.  It's not that I dislike Ken, because I don't.  It's just that, well, it's NOT ABOUT HIM!!!!  It's about HER. BARBIE.  That's how it's always been and that's how it always should be!  And the way the movie twisted and turned everything makes me kinda sick.

There will be more at the bottom of the post if you so desire to read further ranting.  Otherwise, here's my card!

Yep, I put Barbie on it too this time, probably because original Ken, while reflective of the times, is not cute at all.

**I haven't watched the Oscars in years, but the fact that everything at said Oscars was about Ken is just barfy.  My SIL wanted me to watch Ryan Gosling's "performance" and I really have no words.  Everyone says "Oh you can tell that's his voice!" to ignore the facts that A) he can't sing and B) he can't sing and C) the song sucks.  All valid points that everyone seems to ignore.  NOW a friend wants me to point out that Ryan's "singing" isn't as abysmal as say Billie Eilish or Taylor Swift, and I will admit that, okay?  But he's still an actor not a singer, and you can't change that.  But REALLY.  What was his hair in the movie?  His wardrobe?  And why should we feel bad for Ken?!?!?
