BARNYARD GOSSIP w/tea of course...

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...
You can see the detective's photo here
This is the photo that Detective Dolittle took of Joe and Chicken at the arcarde. Chicken talked Joe into skipping school and using his auctioneer tution to play games at the arcade.

NEIGHBORHOOD at CHRISTMAS...

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.
Thanks for looking!

CONSIDER YOURSELF CASED...

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.
Thanks for a fun case Chat..

Paper: Early Espresso, Whisper White, Poppy Parade, Old Olive
