This is the card I made for Vicky Gould who is today's featured stamper! It was only a matter of time Vicky, you are too good not to be featured! This is the card I chose to case!
1. I love Vicky's cards. Each one is wonderful, spectacular, awesome! Like I said, it was just a matter of time! Congrats little buddy!
2. My first thought was, I wonder how you pronouce Gould, like GOLD or like GOOLD! Maybe its a good thing Faith went the GOLD route cuz then I woulda made a card with a Halloween Ghoul on it! Yikes!
3. Is a crab and a lobster the same thing? Well, the red thingy on my card is a crab and I will tell you why! I bought this itsy bitsy package of these cute little crab cut-outs 42,000 years ago and I thought, Yes, I can use one!
4. I had cardstock spread out everywhere and there musta been a little bit of glue stuck on the corner of the itsy bitsy crab package cuz it got stuck to a large piece of cardstock that I had put away when I decided it would not work.
5. I spent FOREVER looking for the little package of CRABS! Honestly, I could have had this card uploaded hours ago had I not temporarily lost those CRABS! When I was walking out of my room to wash the distressing ink off my hands I spotted them stuck to that cardstock!
6. Now for the reason I am calling my little red thingy a crab? I got REALLY CRABBY when I couldn't find my CRABS! It sounds stupid for purposes of my story to say that I got REALLY LOBSTERY when I couldn't find my LOBSTERS! So if you all tell me that this is a lobster, its not! Its a CRAB!
Vicky, you rock!

Fantastic card for Vicky, Cindy! I love the beach scene and the cool treasure chest! That is most definitely a crab - not a lobster! Take it from someone from New England! LOL!

NO that is definitely a crab...except in NJ, they usually turn red AFTER they are cooked...I went to high school on the Jersey SHooooore so I should know, hee!
As for this card...it is a MASTERPIECE! I LOVE the sparkly gold sand and that awesomely crafted treasure box with the little teeny brads and that way cool lock! This is another superb featured stamper card, Cindy!

PS...since your card is a masterpiece, and your crab is still walking around looking uncooked (or an escapee from the pot)...we'll just say he has a sunburn, hee! And that is why he is red like a lobster!
