More bokeh

Obviously I can't read a calendar

because  yesterday was 2nd June

not first... I woke up with a 

pretty bad headache today.  I hope

it goes away soon.  More whining, 

my a/c isn't

working right.  It runs and runs

but doesn't really pump out any

cool air so I have someone looking

at it on Wed.  Meanwhile, instead

of running up the electric bill for

no good reason, I've resorted

to old fashioned air conditioning-

opening the windows.  Before I

married John I didn't have central

air, and the window units were 

really pretty much useless in 

my opinion.  so I opened the windows.

John hated having

the windows open so I've gotten

out of the habit and besides, the air

is much better than the hot breezes

of summer.  But for the time being

open windows will have to do.

I put this on facebook and my friend 

Karen said she would give it a 

good home if it didn't have one, so

off it went to Cleveland.  I am in love

with the card and with the bokeh 

technique in general!

This is another flap card and is

for my ex's grandfather.  Such a sweet

man.  I haven't seen him in quite a while

because he lives in Norwalk, OH. which is

right by Cleveland.  He's in a nursing home

now, but doing well last I heard.  He

fell and broke something, a leg,

hip, I can't remember, and couldn't

stay alone any more, but I think at that

point he was in his 80's!!!

And finally crazy friends!  I saw

this card some time ago on pinterest.  

Yesterday I was in the mood to play

with the owl punch builder.  There are

many talented people out there

who take that punch that builds a simple

owl and make some amazing things.

I saw the other day someone had come up

with little tiny dresses they made with

the punch!  They've come up with 

super heroes, the star wars characters

I made with the card for my 

grandson, just all kinds

of neat things.  It's kind of a pain because 

it's hard to get the paper in if you only

need one tiny part.  The punch punches

out the entire thing, body, eyes, etc.  These

chicks use a scalloped half circle for

the wings.  The little thing at the

top of the head and also the beak are

made from the tiny heart which is

part of the punch as well.  It's

very hard to glue tiny things like

that, and I'm afraid I didn't

do a spectacular job.  I think next

time I'm going to use tweezers.  It

may be easier.
