October Hostess Club- Take a Bite

I love this card so much. I know this has been done before, but we never had the DSP to match so perfectly as we do now! Animal Expedition is the cutest paper I have seen in a long time! Alligators, Hippos, Giraffes Oh MY!
Here is the Saturday card we will be making. I have included a few instructions for those of you who couldn't join us:

Card Front

How did I get that color on the wording?

Simply scribble some Stampin Blend colors on cardstock and cut out!

Isn't that cool?

Glue these two pieces together wrap twine 3 times around

Sponge these pieces around all edges    

Back of head

Attach "Teeth"

Attach head pieces with 2-3 Dimensionals stacked

Glue all onto card front as shown and add googly eyes!  Fun! U R Done!

World Card Making Day Celebration

 This celebration is actually going all week so don't miss out. If you placed an order with me and one of the products below was on it, it will automatically give you the savings! SU thinks of everything!

Painted Skys

It is with a heavy heart that I post this today... my best friend, Carol, who has been battling cancer for over 6 years, has passed away. 

My bestie for as long as I can remember (since we were 7 years old!). She was loved by so many and we were so blessed to have her in our lives. 

Her husband sent me this picture-

This was taken over the chapel just after her services. As my sister said, "She is painting in the sky". What a gift she truly was! I will miss you my love, but know that you are always watching over us!

PAPER THE TOWN
We are loving the Broadway Bound products, which look amazing with the paper from the suite (as seen in the balloon gift bag project). But we are especially excited about the result when we pair this versatile bundle with some of the papers from the current Designer Series Paper sale. Talk about a whole new look with each new paper! This sale is the perfect time to show off all the options. Nobody can ever have too much pretty paper, especially while it’s buy three, get one free! Check out the promo HERE !
