Doug got the day off

We met at Susan N's, so Lance got to be our man today. Paulette hosted a SU party. We enjoyed Susan's cards and will share then next week. Pam, Karla, Joyce (OMG on a Saturday), Lois, broken ribs and all Mary and I were in attendance. We got to make two cards.

We started with a regular 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 card (baja blue) add a strip of Parisian Breeze DSP to the bottom and a small strip of Chocolate Chip cs, run this through the Big Shot using the circle scallop die, placing the fold of the card below four scallops on the top of the die. Layer a white cs round scallop punch on top of the card center, then a Chocolate Chip 1 3/8 circle punch, stamp a circle sentiment on Baja Breeze cs, then punch out with the 1 1/4 circle punch. Punch a flower out using the Boho Blossoms punch from Chocolate Chip cs. Use the small hand punch and insert a brad, the pop dot on to the center of the sentiment circle. Top the card with wide Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon.

Card two started with an envelope, lick shut, cut 1 1/4 from the left side of the sealed envelope, on both sections using the Botanical Blooms set, the outline in Pacific Point, shadow in Baja Breeze and leaves in Kiwi Kiss. Run the large section through a crimper. Embellish with a Kiwi Kiss scallop punch, Pacific Point circle and Kiwi Kiss cordery button (oh so cute). Tie ribbon around the smaller section. For the insert stamp a sentiment on the white cs with Pacific Point , sponge edges and layer on Kiwi Kiss cs, attach a lable punch to the top.

We all wish Susan and Lance a relaxing and uneventful trip to Hawaii with the SU gang. Have an umbrella drink and think of us.

I have been out enjoying the beautiful day and went to look at a townhome that my daughter is interested in. She is just starting to look and needs to pre-qualify for a loan first.

I added a few more web sites I check often for ideas,

Later and love you all

Cindy
