Second Annual Weekend at Aunt Dee's


Games, Wii, Rain Forest Cafe, Build-a-Bear and the Lego Store at Woodfield Mall are all on the agenda for a weekend at Aunt Dee's. But some good quality stamping time must also make the schedule. First: Bookmarks. . . These have been made using punches, double stick tape, stamps, designer paper and cardstock. The project started out as gifts to go with catalogs. As you can see my sample was quite sedate and uninspired. Wesley was not at all interested in the butterfly concept, but Penelope indulged me, until she found the heart punch. When the bookmarks were done, I discovered quite a bit of exposed tape, so the glitter was applied to all sticky surfaces, just to keep the bookmark from becoming stuck in a boook. Pretty Snazzy!
Then we needed to make a card, so out comes Under the Stars:














Pretty nice work for the grammer school set! Enjoy your weekend -- Aunt Dee
