For my project I made my first tri-fold card! Super easy, I don't know why it's taken so long for me to try it. Martha Stewart's Scoreboard really made it easy for me, she has all the dimensions listed on where to score for several different card shapes, envelopes and even, boxes!!! I would highly recommend it!!! Well enough about Martha, and on to my card!!! Sorry about the fuzzy pictures, you can click on each one to get a better look.

Meet Ralph "The Taxman"

Sure, he looks friendly, but don't be deceived...Ive heard that his coworkers call him

Wait a minute, who's that???

 Coming to save the day!!!

It's "REFUNDMAN"!!!

He's flying through the air,

Now, did someone say BLOG CANDY??? Of course there's BLOG CANDY!!!

I couldn't decide on what CANDY to give out, so I decided on a GOODY BAG/BOX, of course filled with GOODIES!!!

To be eligible, you have to play my little game. You need to leave a comment on this post & your answer, along with a way to get in touch with you. Gilby and I would also like you to follow along the hop & leave some luvin' at each stop. As always, you DON'T have to be follower to win, but if you LIKE what you see, Gilby and I would love it!!!

Boy, this is a LONG post! Sorry about that. So on to the ?

Can you guess how much my REFUND was??? I'll give you a few of hints:

#1~ There is only one "bill" in each pocket of the card.

#2~ I'm using some of  it in the morning to stop by Starbucks for a Double Tall 4 Pump SF Vanilla, Soy Latte', Extra Hot or maybe a Double Tall Cinnamon Dole with 2 Splendas, extra hot. Hmm??? I am way over due for Starbucks!!!

#3~ I won't have much left after my Starbucks. :(

The cut off time for comments is 11:59pm Monday EST.  Random.org will pick a winner on Tuesday & I will post it later that evening.
