There are a few posts I need to wait for since I want the recipients to see them first! lol
Meanwhile, here is on card of four I designed for a Cuttlebug Swap I participated in early Spring. I tell you some of the cards I got back were absolutely amazing! I want to use them but just can part with them yet! Meanwhile here' one I designed.
I used Stampin Up(SU) Card stock, the dragonfly out of the SU Infinite Goodness, and the Cuttlebug musical notes folder.
Which by the way, I don't own a cuttlebug but it didn't stop me from using the folders, which I love! It works in my Zipe mate and I think it will even work in the Big Shot that Stampin Up is currently selling too. I'm thinking I might replace my zipe mate with the big shot, we'll see.
Here is a list of Retired sets that just went into retirement! Take a look along with my other post, let me know what you'd like. Prices do not include shipping, if any.
Oh, as in the other list posted as well, I can take pictures of any of the sets for you and send them. I'm just not allowed to do it here (publicly). So if you can't find your old cattys to see what they look like, no problem, I can send the picture of it to you.

Meanwhile, I found this on a blog at thought it to be the coolest thing! You can go make it and when I get all my projects posted and pictured here again, you'll have something good to eat while you're looking! Just be careful not to get chocolate on your keyboard!
Here's some great tips about saving gas. We ALL can use this these days! Some I know, some I learned.
You may not be able to control the price of gas, but check out these three ways to become fuel thrifty.
1. Avoid aggressive driving: Speeding, rapid acceleration, and perpetual braking waste gas. Driving at a constant speed can lower your gas mileage by up to 33 percent on the highway. Defensive drivers can save up to $1.35 per gallon compared to their speedy counterparts. 2. Clear the air: Your car's air filter prevents airborne impurities from wreaking havoc on your engine. Not only can replacing a clogged air filter save you up to $0.41 on the gallon, but it can also safeguard your engine. 3. Inflate your tires, not your MPGs: By properly inflating your tires, you can save up to 3.3 percent on your miles per gallon (MPG), which equals about $0.12 per gallon. Check your owner's manual for the correct pressure per square inch (psi) for your car's tire size. Appropriately inflated tires results in better gas mileage, improved safety, and longer lasting tires. 4. Watch your speed: Reaching your car's optimal fuel economy depends on the model and speed at which you're traveling. Still, gas mileage decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. As a general rule, every 5 mph you go over 60 costs an additional $0.30 per gallon. 5. Be regular: Most cars do not need premium gas, which has higher levels of octane. In most cases, buying high octane gas will provide you with a bigger hole in your wallet--and nothing more. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) estimates a savings of $0.15 to $0.35 per gallon by switching to regular gas. 6. Use your dipstick: You've probably heard that changing your oil every 3,000 miles will protect your engine, but using the proper oil can save you on gas, too. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that by using the recommended oil, you can save up to six cents a gallon. 7. Don't stand idly by: Idling for long periods of time gets zero miles per gallon. You may think just sitting there with the engine running is harmless, but it expends precious fuel. A recent report from Texas A&M University found that idling costs Americans $78.2 billion in lost gallons. 8. Use cruise control and overdrive: By using cruise control on the highway, you can maintain a constant speed and reduce the amount of braking necessary for long trips, consequently using less gas to accelerate again. Using your overdrive when trying to brake or go up hill reduces the speed at which your engine works —again saving you gas. 9. Check the cap: It may sound arbitrary, but damaged, loose, or missing gas caps can result in your gas turning to vapor. This can cost you gallons of gas a year, according to the Car Care Council. 10. Trim the weight: If you keep excessively heavy objects in your car, be prepared to spend some MPGs. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle can cost you an estimated 2 percent of your miles per gallon.
