Spooky Bat

 
My inspiration for this card came from Ronda Wade.  I just fell in love with her little bat and had to give him a try.  I also have shimmer mist on the card which is a bit difficult to see.  If you click on the picture it should enlarge it and you might be able to get a better view.  My googly eyes are from the Holiday Catalog – 50 adhesive-backed eyes for $2.50!  I made my bat using three punches:  the owl punch (I cut off the legs), 1 3/4 inch punch (cut in half) and a 1/2 inch circle punch to make notches in his wings.  The stamp set is Wicked Cool.
 
Have a great week!

Lip Balm Holders

I bought these lip balms at Convention for my Hostess Club members and of course, I had to make something cute to put them in! I saw a tutorial over at France Martin’s blog and I tweaked it just a bit.  I used our new Polka Dot Parade paper which has really become a favorite of mine.  I love bright, cheerful colors and these papers are exactly that!  They looked so pretty all sitting together.  
 
I hope you’ve had a relaxing and/or fun weekend!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Telescoping Card

My card today is called a Telescoping card. It folds up to look like my first picture but then opens up as shown below.

I had a difficult time getting a good picture of the card opened up.  Perhaps it is just too late at night and it would have been better with sunlight. Oh well, I wanted to post tonight so hopefully you can still see it well enough. This was my first try at this type of card. I made a few more and I will show them later in the week. We will be making this type of card at my two Hostess Clubs this week!

Gated Fold Card Thank You

Today I have another Gated Fold Card for you.  It uses the new Polka Dot Parade DSP.  Another variation of this card would be to put a belly band around it with the sentiment attached to it. 
 
Can you believe that it is almost September???  My first grandchild, a girl, is due on September 23rd.  I’ve NEVER been more excited for the month of September!!!
 
Thank you for stopping by!!
