Candle Teeter Totter Card
Complete Candle Card Set

Matching "priscillastyles"envelope with a flower belt


Thank you so much for dropping in today. My card was made for the Midnight Madness sketch challenge #53. I used a Penny Black stamp and I really wanted to add movement to my card, so I cut the image out a couple of times and created an axel so my critters could seesaw up and down. It was fun and it did take a little time to figure out, but I did it..LOL I was also inspired by Jorunn’s card for the MMSC52 She added Candles to her card and I loved it. I went to work trying to figure out a template so I could fit my tealights on the card and work it in with this weeks sketch. I think I did it :) I just turned the sketch to make everything fit. Thank you Jorunn for the inspiration. I made a matching “priscillastyles” envelope and all I had to do was alter it a little to make it fit the thicker card this week. The beauty of the “priscillastyles” kit is that you can adjust the thickness. I took it to its max with this card and used a belt to keep the flap closed. I really like how it all came together and I am thinking about giving this to my kid’s school teacher.

 I have also attached a picture of the Dress I have picked out for this weeks Dance Party… No matter what the dance theme of the day is this week, I am sure I will be able to conquer those dance moves in it. Check back each day this week for a different theme and style of dance. Carol is our DJ and has a lot of fun tunes lined up for you. Check out the MMSC53 Dance Party Post for all the details. It should be a fun way to keep the celebration going for our one year anniversary. The festivities are going on all month, so don’t miss what we have in store for you. If you have not already entered the Blogaversary Jackpot Candy, what are you waiting for? Good luck to all those who enter and all those who enter the Dance Contest this week. I hope you like my dress..It of course is my favorite color and only in my dreams are my hips, waist and thighs that small…LOL What the heck, .I can wear it!! It is a virtual party however ;) Who knows, I may change my outfit a few times this week. What will you wear to the party? As always, I would love to hear what you think of my card and save me a dance at the Party :)

  12. When I see your creations, I definitely have no issues telling myself there's no way I should be mixed up with the heavy hitters of card makers! Your work isnt work, Priscilla, it's an art form in the truest sense. Wow you are talent and such a visionary to boot. Anne Ryan

  25. What a great card! I will have to remember that you did this and try it sometime. I like the idea of it being a card and a gift all in one. Cute that the image moves too. Very creative! All the cards are wonderful this week, and I miss you girls so much!! I will have to get it together in the next few weeks and see if I can find some time to get in on the MM fun. I like to take my time when working with the sketches, and I haven't had much of it free lately. Looking forward to joining you all soon though.

  30. I bet you thought I would never get over here to comment on your card!!! I am taking a small break from my housework and finishing up my commenting. I already have a bathroom cleaned and my bedroom.

    This is just amazing Priscilla. I have never seen anything like this before, but I absolutely love this idea. What a great gift presentation. I can see me having a few of these in my stash! When I get back from my trip with my family, I am going to attempt one of these. It is perfect to give for the ladies in my book club or craft club for their Birthdays. Thanks for the inspiration my friend!

    Bear Hugs,
    Carol :O}
