  • Cut 2 large Stitched Scallop rectangles from the 2 pieces of Rich Razzleberry. Set one aside.  With the other one, cut 3 staggered "leaves" using the leaf from the Stitched Leaves Dies. Adhere the Plaid DSP to the back of this piece.  Then, attach the remaining piece to the back to hide the backside of the Plaid piece. Attach half of this piece to the "flap" of the card front.

Sorry my scheduled post didn't load yesterday, I'll have to see what's up with that.  I was off on my first substituting job since "Covid School" started.  Trinity has their act together!!  Everything went very smoothly! I don't care for wearing a mask "all day", however! I can appreciate those that do!  Enjoy! 

Oops!  Guess it's Fun Fold Friday!!  Will see what I have ready to load!!

So, my sister, Cyndi, had us over last Friday afternoon on her porch! We were to wear "work" clothes and bring, a large pair of kitchen scissors, a spatula, a ruler, a glue gun, and a hat. An interesting collection of things to bring!! Mom was to bring her Kindle, or something to work on.  Oh, and she would provide food and drinks. So, what did she have planned for us??  This absolutely DARLING snowman wreath that we had been wanting to do together!! Happy Birthday to us!  We had a blast! And, she had an awesome feast, as usual!
