Triangulating on Santa ~ ATSM#71; C&S#266; CASology #70

Hi There!

Oh, my stars and bunny feet, I have been doing a marathon hop since Saturday.  I'm even going to skip WOYWW this week coz I'm hopped out.  But I have to say the Moxie Fab Thanks Hop for Cath was astounding!  There was a lot of inspiration in the thank you card parade and I met a lot of new card artists!

 

I also had a lovely lunch with two of my bloggie buddies, Kim and Harriet.  We might have been asked to move to a corner booth in the back or that might be a rumor.

 

Today, I was itching to get crafty.  Oh, but first, if you don't mind me doing a little horn-tooting, I wanted to share with you that there was a magnificent ceremony held in my honor this morning. 

 

I was crowned. 

 

Yes, finally.

 

Drugs were involved, too, and that was just the pre-party.

I was given a beautiful cape made out of lead.

I was laid upon a bed of noggin hide.

My head was tipped back ever so slightly.

Involuntarily my lips parted.

It was as if I'd been numbed by the grand ure of it all.

I closed my eyes.

 

I have to say I don't remember a lot of what happened next, but in addition to a beautiful golden crown, I have lips that Angelina would envy.

 

Thank you for allowing me to share that.  I know, I know, it was well-deserved and long-overdue and I shouldn't be shy about it.  After all, I earned it.  I worked hard eating all those carbon hydrants and sugary, caramelly, chocholately confections. 

 

And for that, I was crowned!  What an amazing world this is!!

That was a nice little side trip to the Planet Delirium, where I sometimes go. 

 

Back here IRW, I made you this card:

 

I made it primarily for the current challenge at CASology, where the cue card word is "Triangle." 

There are other terrific Santa hats in the challenge so far:  from the Design Team, there is a sticklesque masterpiece by Ardyth and N@ has a fantastic triangular hat on the head of a triangular Santa in the gallery!  You might want to try your hand at one, too, because after all, Santa is on our minds this time of year and he does like to wear that silly triangular hat.

 

I just happened to have an embossing folder filled with triangles so I used that, not once, but twice.  And I wrapped my twine into two triangle shapes.  And that's all there was to it.

Just for fun, my card is also apro po po for these other challenges:

 

Addicted to Stamps and More (ATSM) where the theme is "Anything Goes."

 

Clean & Simple Stamping, which is a fun sketch challenge, and this week this is the sketch:

Of course, I can't leave without saying that my prayers are with the victims of that terrible typhoon destruction in the Philippines.  The extent of the devastation is heartbreaking and unthinkable.
