Welcome back Kathy!

babysitting in the afternoon
Get that kid to take a nap! When my first daughter was an infant, I would have all my tole painting out and ready to go. I put signs on the door, took the phone off the hook and pretty much threatened anyone who might wake her up, or cause the dog to bark!
April, thanks for opening up the Bingo Twist! There are certainly lots of options on your list
I went to "Stamp Therapy" this morning. They don't use strictly Stampin Up so they don't call it Stamp Camp. We made a birthday card, a wedding/Valentine card (could go either way) and a Valentine box. The box was one of SU's pizza style boxes. It was a nice heavy box with a shiny, food proof inside. We decorated with paper, a belly band, satin ribbon and tinsel ribbon. It fit about 6 or 8 small wrapped chocolate bars or kisses, or 1 chocolate covered pretzel.
Yesterday it took me all day to fuss around with a card for CraftNerd's challenge. To look at my finished card, and now to replicate it looks like it could be made in 10 minutes! I wanted to heat emboss on chalkboard paper. The paper comes in a 6x6 pad and has a little bit of a gritty texture. I thought it would be perfect for chalk pencils, or even painted with distress oxide. I was trying to color in the image, but everything just rubbed off. Then the embossing started flaking off! Ugh! I finally gave up and went to heavy black cardstock.
I hope everyone gets some play time today!
