Tutorial Time on Speedy TV - Secret Door

Today's Tutorial Time on Speedy TV challenge was totally new to me -- a Secret Door.  Barbie Dopson wrote the tutorial for this very clever card.  Here's my card:

Here's the inside:

And, when you know the trick, here's inside the secret door:

Be sure to check out Barbie's tutorial and then see what the rest of the team did with it.  If you decide to play along, you might win a free stamp set.

CCEE1432 - 4H at the Fair

Amber is our hostess this month over on the CCEE Stampers blog.  Her first challenge for the month is celebrating her kids' long-time participation in the 4H, so we were to make a card having some object or animal that you would find at the fair.  Extra points for green!  

I pulled out my MFP Country Charm set and made this center step card.  I haven't been to a county fair in a long time, but I seem to remember seeing chickens there.   I just bought that Spellbinders Die-D-Lites Fluttertree die and desperately wanted to use it.  This is what came out of that desire.

Have you been to the fair lately?  We'd love to have you join us at CCEE's county fair and play along with us.  Stop over at the CCEE Stampers blog and see what animals or things the rest of the team found at the fair.
