Hello everyone! How is your weekend going so far? It's Memorial Day weekend, so I do hope everyone is staying safe! We decided to catch a movie Friday since there is a possibility of bad storms for the better part of the day today. We decided to go watch the latest antics of Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Have you had a chance to see the movie yet? I won't post any spoilers, just in case... I'll just say that I am not complaining that we saw the movie, but I could have done without it, as well. I really hope they are done with this movie franchise. It just seems that Johnny Depp was trying to hard to be funny in this one. It just all seemed forced. The story line was okay, no complaints there and the acting was good, of course (except for Johnny trying too hard). I definitely did not care for the villain this time around... Captain Salazar aka Javier Bardem. I told my bestie and my boyfriend that they should have just gone with "Negan" aka Jeffrey Dean Morgan... At least then they would have had the better looking of the look-a-likes. Have you ever noticed that Javier looks like a less attractive Jeffrey Dean? Plus, he would have been easier to understand. Javier was a little hard to follow with his accent (Please... His name is Jack Sparrow, not Yack Sperrrow... UGH!) Okay, enough staring at Jeffrey and drooling... lol... Back to my post.... With a movie, a quick trip to Wal-Mart (I picked up a few new clear acrylic blocks... YAY!... Because I've given a few away in some Paper Pumpkin kits that I've gifted to people) and grabbing a bite to eat, That didn't leave a lot of time for crafting. : ( I did manage to slip into my craft space for a quick bit, though... I am still absolutely LOVING this daisy stamp set and matching punch from Stampin' Up. I mostly make birthday cards, but needed a congratulations type card, so I grabbed the daisy stamp set and punch along with the That's The Tag stamp set (for the sentiment) and came up with this. This is my first attempt at Triple Time Stamping and I am in love with this technique! does that not look completely awesome?? I hope the recipient thinks it's just as awesome as I do... I'm hoping for a little more craft time later today, but I'm not banking on it. Keep your fingers crossed for me, though. : ) Until next time... Happy Crafting!
