A bit 'o vintage sarcasm for ya!

My creation for TCP Tuesday sorta sums up my dichotomous personality with its witty and sarcastic sentiment; the fun mix of vintage and new elements; and the crazy mix of greens, all tied up with a sweet little flower and pretty polka dotted ribbon! I'm a true Gemini child--my love of music and playing for Sunday church services in constant competition with my yearning for a cold beer with friends, slinging cutting sarcasm along the way. I'm a wayward soul...

The vintage Bingo board came from Lisa Zappa, whom I met a couple of months ago IRL, so she's no longer a pretend stamping friend, she's a real friend and she's the Queen of Shabbychick Junk! She gave a group of us these Bingo boards to decorate. Some of the girls decorated them the same night we got together at Archiver's to stamp. That totally threw me for a loop because I'm just not that kinda girl! What I mean by that is that sometimes I have to let something simmer, especially when it's something cool, like a vintage Bingo board. I knew that someday I'd make something really cool with it, so I left it by my stamp table to simmer.

Some days it would give me anxiety just looking at it, knowing I should start on my something cool, but it just wasn't there...until today! The funny part is, I didn't have any intention of using it when I started my TCP Tuesday card, but it all just fell into place when I created the sentiment using a combination of computer-generated sentiment and the "good luck" sentiment from PTI's Mixed Messages. You see, Sprinkle can sometimes be a little, let's say, testy (ah-hem, bitchy) and that's when the sarcasm starts flowin' like cold beer on a hot summer day! Today she's a bit {testy} because I made her wear that silly hat which is not even a SPD hat; it's from another TCP set, Kitty Christmas, geesh! In her angst, she had to retaliate with a bit of sarcasm, adding "with that..." to her good luck wish to all those St. Paddy's Day Bingo players, wink!

Sometimes you have to play with the stamps you've already got and just be happy with it. It's called improvising, and that's what a good kitty does when she's got no other choice! Speaking of improvising, I did just that with the shamrock on Sprinkle's hat. It's three hearts stamped in shamrock fashion using the heart stamp from SU!'s Small Sayings set and then dotted with a marker for a little extra-extra. Well, that's about it for today kitty-cats, so thanks for stopping by and be sure to have some fun today!
