Sweet Shop Owl for A La Card Monkey Challenge

Hi Blogging Friends!

It's a new week for A La Card Monkey with an anything goes theme. I have not made a card with my owl punch for a while so thought that it would go great with "Sweet Shop DSP".

Owls with outfits just make me Happy!!

I love this sketch!! I think some how this cute little Owl inspired me to make an Owl Card!!  

You can use DSP or Embossing folders just have fun with it!! Anything Goes at A La Card Monkey!!

I cut the Ice Cream Cone from the DSP and also cut one out for a Hat. How cute is that. lol

Hi Blog Hop Friends!!

I am so happy that we got this Valentine Blog Hop started!! Terry Su made my blog hop badge and I love it.

Terry and I were shopping at Goodwill and wanted to find things to make into a cake plate or something. We found out that... wow! everything costs so much there. So we went to Walmart and picked up these Burner Covers for $5.00 and the candle sticks for $2.00 and $3.00. Plus we got the spray paint there too, I think it was $3.00 a can? maybe.  lol

Here is the candle stick after two coats of paint. I have it on a lazy Susan so I can spin it while I paint it.

Here it is!! I made a Happy Valentine Banner for it.

This is a list of what I used to make it.

Pink and Ross Spray Paint

Burner Cover one small and one large

Bigz L Die Tasteful trim Die

Sizzlitts Billboard Alphabet Strip Die

Blushing Bride pleated satin ribbon

Here are a few pictures from my Princess Purse Party a few years ago.

Me and my BFF Deanna. It was a Princess theme party and a Purse Party at the same time, their over 375 Purses there to choose from.

I gave everyone Tiaras and Boas. We made all cards Pink and Princess. It was a Blast!!!

Loan and Mona, you can see all my Pink Dishes in the background.

This is Kim and Michelle fighting for a Purse, Kim threw her body on to the pile of purses to keep Michelle from getting one of them.

This is a few of us at the end of the party showing off our  new Purses!!

You're My Type for A La Card Monkey #91 "Bundle of Love"

Hi Blogging Friends!!

I got something new out to make my card this week at A La Card Monkey. I also wanted to use the Lips stamp that I have, so I added it to the page in the typewriter.

Have any of you made lip marks on cards to your Husband or Boyfriend?? I have to many times to count.

On the Challenge Blog A La Card Monkey, its all about love this week!! Plus a easy Sketch!!

I don't think my flash is working right, my pictures are all kind of bright this time. I used the sponge dauber in Blushing Bride first then Riding Hood Red.

I love the new Heart embosslet.

This is the Sunset tonight! it's Beautiful! My Husband made me get up from making this card to take a look at it. I had to take some pictures to show you all. This is a close up of where the Sun is going down.

This is a close up of the Olympics, so much color tonight. I think this means we are out for some crazy weather this weekend.

 Breath Taking!! Over all view from my bedroom window.

Ok...... this is a sneak peek of what I am making for the Valentine Blog Hop, that will be starting on Tuesday January 17th.  Here I am out on my front porch spray painting a glass candle stick..... Hmmm what do you think??
