'Orange' You Glad That It's Friday??

When our girls were little, they loved knock knock jokes. We'd get to hear them over and over...one of their favorites was:
Knock, knock...who's there...Orange.Orange who?Orange you glad I came-a-knockin'? Yup, a classic!!

So when I came across this humor blog, it brought back some fun memories. I thought I'd share some cute 'why did the chicken cross the road' jokes-for adults!

Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?

Pat Buchanan
To steal a job from a decent, hardworking American.

The Bible
And God came down from the heavens, and He said unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.

Colonel Sanders
I missed one?

Richard M. Nixon
The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did not cross the road. I don't know any chickens. I have never known any chickens.

Dr. Seuss
Did the chicken cross the road?
Did he cross it with a toad?
Yes! The chicken crossed the road,
but why it crossed,
I've not been told!

Ernest Hemingway
To die. In the rain.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

Grandpa
In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.

Freud
The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

Bill Gates
I have just released Chicken Coop 98, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book — and Explorer is an inextricable part of the operating system.

Einstein
Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken?

Keeping with the orange theme to this post...here's my card for Kazan's sketch #18 on 2S4Y and Caardvarks Polka Dot Challenge.

The paper, label and 3D flower sticker are from K&Co. (Brenda Walton scrap pad), Prima Chrystal flourish, Karen Foster rub on, QK scalloped border, ribbon from Offray.

Thanks for stopping by...hope you have a fun weekend.

Thanks x 4!

It was another cold and snowy day today. Perfect day for staying inside and making a few cards! Got some great news from 2 Sketches 4 You today. My Monday card was picked as one of the Fab 5, which is amazing considering how many talented ladies they have posting over there. Thanks again ladies!


Digging through my stash of paper earlier today, I came across a scrap pad of Brenda Walton paper from K&Co. I've had it for a few years and I'm sure I've come across it a dozen times, but this time I stopped and pulled out one fo these funky little frames. I needed a quick thank you card and this just seemed perfect. So I made one and it was so quick, that I made 3 more. I think these will be great to have on hand. The 'thanks' is a die cut from QuicKutz and is just perfect for these quick cards. The flowers are from Sandy Lion, the twine is from Karen Foster and the butterfly is from Jolee's.

Thanks for dropping in tonight.

Traditional Christmas

Not too long ago, I found this set of Christmas chipboard tags from K & Co. I love the traditional cards that just seemed to create themselves with these tags.

The paper is from Cloud 9 Design, ribbon is from Joanne's, the rest is from my stash.

It's a cold and snowy day out there. The sun is out, but the wind is making it so chilly. We're all decorated for Christmas, we just need to work on the cards and make some cookies today. And stay warm!

Hope you have a warm and Christmasy Sunday!

Oldie-Moldie Monday

Well, I've spent the better part of the last few days de-cluttering my scrap space and am happy to report that I have 2 good sized boxes to offer up for the LSS garage sale coming up next month. This is one of my favorite events of the year. I get to get rid of old supplies that I'll probably never use and in return I get a store credit to buy new supplies! Can't beat that!

Not to worry though, I didn't get rid of everything old. I kept some of my favorites that I know I'd be able to make use of. For today's challenge, I dug deep into my paper pile and came up with this pretty K&Co. paper from a few years ago. It seemed perfect for this sympathy card I needed for my husband's cousin who recently lost her father. The blossom is from Bazzill, flower sticker is from Sandylion and the sentiment is from Deja Views.

Have Fun

Really not my usual subdued style, but I love how this image swap card turned out. I really did 'have fun' making this. My smile grew bigger with each time I added another flower and more bling...I had a ball making this. The princess image was the one we had to work with, the rest was up to me. All the paper and flowers are from K&Co., the bling is from Darice. Card base is from Martha Stewart. This card is on its way to a friend in California!

Is it spring yet?

I can't wait for spring. For the weather to warm up, for the cold to go away, for all the tulips to start blooming again!
This paper got me thinking spring yesterday. Not my usual colors, but I love the bright and cheery feel of the way the card turned out.
