Hello everyone and welcome to the Thank You Cards Blog Hop! If you are here from Jennifer's Blog

http://creativearmywife.blogspot.com/  than you are in the right spot. If you just started the hop and would like to start at the beginning then please go to Crafty Card Gallery http://www.craftycardgallery.blogspot.com/. I am so happy to be part of this hop because I have never done a hop all about Thank You cards and it's something that I always need to have on hand. Now onto my project:

I decided to make 2 Thank You cards with my forgotten cartridge....Hoot N Holler! I love that cart so much and I don't know why I don't get to use it more often I guess because there are so many cute carts that keep coming out and I think I have way too many options LOL! Here is the girl owl I stamped her face with my favorite owl face stamp from Peachy Keen Stamps Critter Faces XL. I used my Gypsy to hide all of the little pieces so that I could stamp the faces. For the beaks I put a white gel pen...let it dry and went over it with a yellow marker. I stamped the sentiment and put some bling on her belly because I think this bird is pregnant by her husband below......I think she got pregnant here in the wood's (The patterned paper I used!)LOL!Now here is her husband!!

For Mr. Lover owl LOL! I also cut him from Hoot N Holler, stamped the sentiment and also stamped his face with 2 DIFFERENT face stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps Critter Faces XL. I stamped the glasses part seperate and stamped the beak part seperate, I also did the same technique on his beak as the other card.

Here is my 100% hand made envelopes! I cut the envelopes, the actual card base, and all of the scallop sqaures from the Slumber Party Cartridge I LOVE that cart by the way!! I used my ATG gun to adhere the envelope and I cut it on plain computer paper! I stamped the same sentiment on the envelope. These cards and envelope are around a 4x4 inch size.

On the inside of the envelope I put this adhesive square thing I dont know what its called, I just know I got a whole bunch of them from Big Lots. All you have to do is peel off the blue part and it has a very strong permanent bond.

Here is the two lovebirds together with their baby on the way LOL! Aren't they such a cute couple I thought they were so cute that I didnt want to put them on my cards I wanted to use them on a layout! Hmmmm maybe I will next time!

For my blog candy I am Giving away a Brand New in Package Zig 2 way glue pen all you have to do is BE a FOLLOWER and then tell me your favorite moment in 2010, I will draw a Random Winner sometime on Monday Jan.3rd. Please check back tonight at midnight or sometime this weekend for my sister's blog hop that I will be in right here you won't want to miss it! My favorite memory of 2010 was when I went on my 1st Cruise EVER! WE went earlier this year on a 7 NT cruise to the Mexico, we stopped in Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas, it was me, my hubby and my son (he was 2 at the time). I will never forget that trip it was a life changing experience and I loved being so spoiled and pampered by all of the staff they were excellent!
 Here's some photos from my trip!
