Party with the Party Owls!

I found this darling card on Darlene DeVries blog complete with video on how she created it...  I'm going to come up with a version of my own and perhaps have at my August Stamp-a-Stack.... on the 24th for those of you who are keeping track....

The card base is 5 1/2″ x 12″ scored it at 2″, 4″, 8″, and 10″, so the final folded card is 5 1/2″ x 4″. The winged owls fly up and the owl in the middle stays on the branch when you open it.

Watch the video to see how she put it all together.

Cute & Colorful Baby Cards

These are just too much fun!....they bring back soooo many memories of the boys when they were babies ..... they had toys exactly like these stacking rings and xylophone....

You just can't help but smile!!!

Did ya notice the wood grain embossing folder

Recycling at it's Best!

These are as good as the Household Hints I sent last week!!!

 

 

 

So got ya thinkin differently about recycling now???

 

Brownie in a Mug!

Perfect way to end the week... with Chocolate!!!

What do you need besides a mug?????

The only change I suggest would be to use Chocolate Ice Cream too....

why on earth would you want to go and spoil it 

with something "healthy" like strawberry ice cream??

Display by Liz

Oh one ore thing... I forgot to show you all the cards on Liz's display board at Corona... she made some really cute cards I thought you'd enjoy seeing.. in case you'd like to copy them.... (sorry again many of these are in the clear acetate glare-causing envelopes):

You know they say 

Imitation is the Highest form of Flattery!

Go for it!

Corona Card Contest Continues!

As promised.. here's the Card's from the Corona Card Contest... many of the gals put their's in the clear plastic envelopes, which was really sweet.... but not so much for photos... causes glare so sorry some are harder to see than others....  all in random order... fyi the little green stickies on each are the numbering system used for the contest... sorry I didn't dare remove them for fear of annihilation by the creators.... these guys are serious!

Guess who's card this is:

Yep... Wanda's!! Do you recognize the second panel on the card....

 she used the masking technique she learned at my June SAS..... love it! 

Here she is with the winning card.. and her $75 SU Gift Certificate she won!!!

And here's pic of 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners with Kathy....

Way to go Wanda!!!!
