Well, nothing like being MORE than a week late to get my tickle card done, but at least it is only going to be a couple days late going out in the mail, after my tickle assignment came in!
Poor Miz Sadie needed some major help moving the Ding Dong Spring Fling inside the Community Center, due to some "inclement weather" about to happen! All the outdoor activities had to be cancelled and they had to move it all inside and do a Board and family game night type of FREE FOR ALL! As you can see here, there were game boards, and game pieces flying all over the place as the TeaPotters, yes, and even the gang from Jammer Town, showed up to liven up the Game night. After all, them gals know how to PAR-TAY!!
They renamed the Community Center, the BINGO HALL, but that's wasn't all that was goin' on there - they had Monopoly,and some hot card games goin' in one room, and on the other side of the hall, they were playin' Scrabble, Yahtzee, checkers, and even some chess goin' on' (though that takes a bit more thinkin') In the back corner, there was some Dominoes, a hot dice game, and some indoor "horseshoe type" game called Corn Hole going on, all tied together by the Chick Sisters doing Karaoke to keep everyone's spirits up with some music and dancin'!
Inside, little aunt Bessie had 5 Bingo cards goin' at once with her dabber furiously marking her numbers, and Sassy Cheryl was showcasing her poker skills, while Sally was adding to the frenzy, proclaiming the BIG MONEY PRIZES. All heck broke loose, when Aunt Bertha hit the Jackpot Bingo, and Monopoly money started raining down everywhere. Aunt Bertha is popped up on a WOBBLE for a little more action.
This card was a long time coming but nothing much more than a little re-sizing the center step card to accommodate all the partying going on, and a ton of fussy cutting and glue!! Oh, and a Wobble! I do admit to doing some of teapotter Susie's signature "amputations" to make Sassy Cheryl's arms go the way I needed them to go, though I have not gotten my Doctor's Diploma in the mail yet from Susie!! But the operation was a success and Cheryl is doing very well, thank you!!
Hope I make some teapotter very happy with a card that probably took me 3 days in snatches of time to complete - (thinking it all out takes up the MOST time of all!) It made me smile after a very tough week. Thanks for looking at a late bloomer!!

I am overwhelmed with the details inside and out of the new Bingo Hall, Sue. There isn't one thing you failed to include. This is a hoot! So well designed and the creativity is just head and shoulders of most stampers. This is really entirely too darn sweet. I applaud your creativity. It was probably good to sit down and think about making a card. My prayers are covering you and your loved ones. Peace.

An incredible card which surely is a "labor of love" with all the various details that you have incorporated, Sue. A true delight for the eyes. How you did the bingo-gambling theme is so imaginative with the greatest theme DPs. TRULY a WINNER!!!

This is sooooo FUN!!! I love how you carried out the theme on your card and made a side story that was perfect for it. Super creative you are, my friend. Love the images, the scene, and the story. I know your week was a tough one and I am glad this creation helped bring a smile to your face. Hugz

I peeked at this from my phone this morning, but had to wait to leave a comment till I was back home again. It's amazing, and fantastic, I'm sure the recipient will be thrilled. You've created a fabulous community hall with your step format, love all the different activities we can see through the windows. The sign over the door is great - and just look at Bertha celebrating her big win. I'm sure this must have been therapeutic for you - you certainly came up trumps.
