This is the card I made for Laurie (HamiltonGal) whom is today's Featured Stamper! Whoo Hoo! This is Laurie's cute card that I chose to case.
This is my story!
1. I was excited to see Laurie featured today! I have first hand knowledge of her talent and creativity as I not only have received wonderful cards from her but she is a Teapot Tuesday regular!
2. If you have been to a teaparty you know that we get ourselves into some pretty bizarre predicaments! When I saw Beth's Challenge title (Who's That Gal?) it just made me wonder if at a teaparty or two we have been spyed on cuz some of the girls are wacky! You know, being spyed on by someone/thing who might be wondering, Who's That Gal?
3. So, I thought binoculars! I asked the photographer, how can I make a card that looks like someone is looking through binoculars at a teaparty? He said, Banawcalers? That's how he pronounces binoculars. He's weird, he also pronounces ambulance like ambleeunce and hamburger like hamblerger. (???) Anyway his very helpful answer to my question was, I am sure you will figure it out!!
4. So, we are having a teaparty in this cabin! Don't blame me for ending up making this goofy card! Blame Laurie! She is the one that forced me to make my binoculars for a three eyed monster teaparty spy! She started it, the binoculars on her card looking at pretty flowers was for some three eyed monster gardener spy! Anything can happen in the World of Make Believe, huh Laurie!
Luckily I had a Rubbernecker tree and cabin stamp to create my scene although I had to draw the close up of the cabin. I need drawing lessons!
Congrats Laurie! You rock and totally deserve to be spyed on today!

Too cute Mudder! Spying on the FS, and how sweet is this gal? Love your view from the Photographer's 'Banawcalers'. Notice you had no use for Kenny's 'cuddy buddy' either! (Love the Kenny-isms!) Love the sweet lil cabin in the woods, and those classic Mothermark clouds! Bea-mutious! Snugs....
