Beau Chateau Wishes
I made this card a while back for my dear friend & upline, Pam D’Urso when she was under the weather. I finally got around to putting it in my camp line-up and it was a favorite of all my stampers. The Beau Chateau Designer Paper is one of my favorites and I will be sad to see it retire.

Man Card
I forgot to take a vote yesterday at Stamp Camp for the favorite card. It would be hard to choose. This card had everyone oohing & ahing and talking, “Man Card”so I would venture to say that it was a favorite. The lush colors of the Morning Mocha DSP give this card a stunning presence.
I went to a 50th birthday party last night and tucked a Macy’s gift card inside for the distinguished guest of honor. All went into a Crumb Cake Medium Envelope.
You know me, I have to milk it for all it’s worth.

A Wise Owl for a Wise Young Man
My oldest grandson recently turned 9 years old. Seems like he was just born last week. We had the traditional family birthday dinner on Easter Sunday. There was a BIG Easter Egg Hunt in my daughter’s back yard and the kids dyed Easter Eggs too. As I didn’t want the Easter day activities to out shadow his birthday, I made this card that really fits him. He loves to read and he is extremely smart.
When I am making a punch art figure, I squeeze a few drops of Tombow on waxed paper and use a tooth pick to spread glue on the teeny tiny parts. That’s my tip for the day.
