Academy Awards!

Hello All!

In honor of the 84th Annual Academy Awards, I'm in the studio making an Oscar Party Mini!   Hopefully one day I will share this with you!!

I had worked most the day on this one page!  The coolest page!  Oh, by 4:00 p.m. I think,  I was using some 1/2 inch Scor-Tape and it got stuck to the page where it wasn't supposed to and when I pulled it up, it ripped the whole page in half!  After a few incredibly ungentlemanly words, I threw it in the trash (with passion I might add!) and began again.  When more of these choice words came out of my mouth, I decided it was time to take a break and mow the...weeds! 

I love to mow!  I missed mowing all winter!  Yes, I'm crazy that way!  I love to weed-eat the yard, clip, prune, plant and dig too!  I hop on my John Deere riding lawn mower and watch the pounds just slip away!  LOL!  I get into this thing with my neighbor every year where we try to beat each other mowing the grass!  Yeah, I'm not competitive!  :)  Well, he was out there "awalla" go ( a great Texas word folks!...Great!) and beat me to it!  Could be the reason why I wasn't paying attention and was trying to rush things in the studio!  Like I said, It's his fault!  HaHaHaHa!

Anyway,  I better get to the grass, but I wanted to leave you all with a little treat you may/may not use.  But I thought I would offer...

For the album I'm making, I needed and .svg file to cut on my Black Cat Cougar of an Oscar Award.  So, I made one.  Not that it was hard and not that you couldn't grab one from someone else, I thought I would save you some time.  You can use this file on your digital cutter using MTC or SCAL Software.  

Enjoy...

Hey Jim...I can use a good yard boy...er...I mean...MAN...LOL!!!

Hope you got the lawn cut and the scor-tape under control.

Can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve this time!!

Argghhh yes I can sympathise with your passionate outburst and choice words. There's been a few of them here in my craft room too. Those are the projects I don't blog haha. However I have a poster on my wall, a quote by the wonderful Grayson Perry...Creativity is Mistakes. That can help keep me grounded. Unfortunately I don't have a lawn big enough for a sit-on mower. But you'd be welcome to trim anything overgrown lol. I opt for a walk in the woods instead. Nature soothes my frustrations. Pxx

I use UNDU to remove tape. It's amazing. Can't comment positively about it enough. They should pay me.
When you pour the liquid on your paper--the paper looks wet. No fear. It will dry. It will leave the tape behind so you need to pry the tape off while it's still wet.
If you're nervous...try it on a scrap first. Oh...and use it in a well ventilated area. It's a bit stinky.

Thanks Janet!   I had left the roll of Scor-Tape out with about 8 inches of it exposed.  I have no idea how it jumped over there onto my paper!  When i pulled it up gently, It pulled the paper with it.  I knew better!  I guess I will have to get some Undu.  I had heard several people comment on it.  Thanks!
