Wicked Wednesday ATC, Love to Learn/Geeks and Nerds

One of the first things I do every Wednesday is pop by the Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge to see what's up.  Sometimes I get to play, sometimes not, but there's always great eye candy and fab prizes.  Their challenge this week made me drop everything.  They had me at Nerd!  LOL  Back in sorority days I got my share of ribbing dating a Phd candidate in physics.  My sweet sisters even pitched in to buy me an "Are you a Nerd" poster and hung it in my room.  I searched the web and found the poster but when I shrunk it down to ATC size you couldn't read it (in fact, you could barely SEE it).  Bummer...on to plan B.

One of my fave Tiddly Inks images is still Schoolgirl.  Love the way she's buried in books and I just had to nerd her up with  some glasses (brads from Eyelet Outlet, you're welcome, De!).  I apologize to all you glasses wearers (including myself, although I seldom, if ever, wear them out of the house) but the quote sort of stuck in my head and this seemed to be the perfect place to use it.  I changed it from men to boys, because certainly grown men aren't that shallow. (cough, cough)  Besides, with all the fashion frames out there, this doesn't even ring true any more  (and I have it on highest authority that flannel jammies, Uggs and glasses are the ultimate turn on.  So WHO'S the Nerd? ;D) 'nuff said.  xx

I'm also entering the in the very first challenge (Anything Goes) at the new Anything But a Card Challenge Blog, Stamptacular Sunday Anything But a Card, QKR Stampede Back to School Challenge and Jellypark Friends All About Children.

  2. This is so cute! Love the glasses. With a teen and tween girls it's actually pretty cool to wear glasses now. Who knew?! Thanks for playing again this week at Wicked Wednesday.

  15. The glasses are perfect for your theme!! The image is colored beautifully and I love the typed sentiment cut into strips.
    I loved reading your post. I got my first pair of glasses in middle school and really felt out of place. When I was in high school, I read this quote..."Boys who don't make passes at girls who wear glasses are a###@$." Made my day!
    Thanks so much for joining us at Anything But a Card Challenges!

  20. This is wonderful. She kind of looks like she's hiding behind those books. Maybe she put the glasses on to keep boys from making passes at her!
