Out of this world

Yesterday at Shop Pumpkin Spice the challenge went up... taxes... what ever makes you think of taxes.... and while I pondered this I thought, "doing/paying taxes make me want to leave the planet". And thus, the idea was born and the connection to an astronaut from taxes made perfect sense in my crazy head. haha.

Blue Steel - a Layout for My Creative Time

Good morning! It's "April Fools Day" but I am not really a prank person and neither is my husband so it's just another day. But we were challenged at My Creative Time to come up with a funny face/prank layout. I thought about titling this layout "Funny Face" and I will do that for a different one, but this look is sooooo Emmaline's version of "Blue Steel" from Zoolander. 

I made this all with MCT dies and stamps with the exception of a paper trimmer for the photo. The bottom right strip of paper was a scrap.

I hope you like my layout! :) Go check out what the other girls have done with Scrapping the Little Things HERE! :)

Recipe: 

• MCT: Stitched Button Dies™
• MCT: Turn that Frown Upside Down™ (you make me smile)
• MCT: Chocolate Greetings™ (banner die)
• MCT: Script Type Backgrounds™ (script stamp bottom right)
• MCT: What's Growing On™ (I see you... lookin' at me)
• MCT: Just Tags™ (tag dies)
• MCT: Lower Case Fun Dies™ (title)
• Jillibean Soup: Card Kitchen Kit for February (Pebbles paper, ribbon, twine) - sold out. :(
• Xyron 5" Creative Station with permanent adhesive
• Xyron 1.5" Creative Station
• Xyron Mega Runner with 1/2" permanent adhesive
• foam dimensional adhesive made with 9" Creative Station and permanent adhesive

I cased this layout from the Crate Paper site HERE. It is by Jessy Christopher. Her blog is HERE. Here is a picture of it. She was kind enough to email me back last night and send me the direct link. Thanks Jessy! :)
