This is for Mothermark's Tuesday Teapot Challenge.. You can read about it HERE. Everybody is talking down on the farm about Slow Joe and his friend Chicken. Apparently, Chicken talked Joe into skipping school and using his tution money to play games at the arcade.. That's why he never learned the auctioneer lingo.. Poor Joe, still slow...
Just playing around with my jumbo Neighborhood wheel.. I used various markers to color the houses and added some garland and a Christmas tree in the window of one of the houses. I cut the houses out and popped them up on Basic Black cardstock that I cut out with the top note die. The snowflakes are from the Snow Swirled set. The Cherry Cobbler mat was embossed with the Petals-a-Plenty folder.
Recently Chat aka Nitestamper cased a card from my blog. You can see it here. I thought, 'How fun!' and commented that I would pick a card from her blog to case, returning the favor.. HERE is the card that chose. I love the Itty Bitty Punch set and the way she combined it with the Season of Friendship set. I changed the color and moved the tree over a litte to make room from my sentiment and added some HPH.
I forgot that I had ordered this 2-step bird punch. I decided to pull it out today and use it for this week's Mojo Sketch. I am heading to visit my parents in a couple of days and my mom has already put her 'card order' in.. She needs a couple of sympathy cards. I like how this turned out.
This is the card & gift that I created for a shoebox swap I am attending. There will be 19 of us total! It is a small A2 version of a larger 5x5 square card that I created. We can also sign up for a gift exchange, the catch is that we can only spend $5... so we usually create something fun. There will be 19 of us total! I got the frame from WalMart for $10.. just a tad over the limit.. eek!
Additional Info
So, I got another box of goodies yesterday... and in it was the lattice die. I just love it! Why did I wait so long to get it? I think it looks great combined with the top note die. This card is a little on the larger size, almost 5.5" square, but fits the square envies.. TFL!
I needed to create a thank you card and was hoping to get to play along in this week's MOJO Sketch Challenge. I went over to my friend Renee's house last night to stamp. I was there for 5 hours and this was all I made!!! ha! Yeah, there was a whole lotta gabbin' going on.
I used today's IC to make a Get Well card for the son of a fellow stamper who has cancer and is getting ready for a bone marrow transplant. Dante is 7 years old and is recieving the bone marrow from his younger sister Julia. (I made the hedgie for her)...
