New Do and Silly Chick
August 18th, 2009
Hey there! Just a quick post as I am out the door to work. Yesterday I got a new *do*….more accurately it’s back to closer to my standard *do*. I had the perm straightened, plus I had my color darkened up a bit. I loved having the curls, but I was getting tired of them. 
I have always worn bangs and I could just never get used to not having them with the curly hairstyle. I was thrilled when I checked InStyle.com yesterday and saw that bangs are one of the hot trends right now! WooHoo! Anyway – here I am right when I got home from the salaon yesterday. Tessa barked at me when she first saw me – silly dog! Myhair is not quite as dark as it looks in the photo and a dark color like this always fades just a bit on me so I think I’m going to love it once I get used to it.
I also have a quick card to share. The other night I was looking through an old Paper Crafts magazine from 2004. I saw a simple card with a punch art chick and I thought it would be fun to make something similar.
I used the following SU punches:
wide oval (body), word window (1/4 of one for each foot), scallop oval (wings), slot (beak), and the little double squares one (eyebrows). I doodled around the edge and scored as well. The felt trim at the bottom is from the dollar bin at Michael’s and the sentiment is hand written.
I gotta run. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
