Yes folks - I do have the Make & Takes done, but before I show you those, you have just gotta see this.......
Bif and Renae Allen brought me this the other day in honor of Riley's new Oz release. This is an amazing story book! There are quite a few pics, and I will try to narrate. You're gonna find this amazing! Our story starts when the house lands on the Wicked Witch......
literally.
Our cast of characters..........
Then we see Dorothy. (Notice she hasn't gotten her shoes yet......)
Then she meets the good witch Sophie!
And she's off to Munchinkin Land complete with ballerinas and the Lollipop Guild! Ha!
Dorothy wipes out the Wicked Witch of the East and ** poof **!
She get's her shoes and heads off to find the Wizard!
Along the way, she meets Scarecrow..... (check out the double spread and the stick the scarecrow is on!!!)
And the Tin Man (that's real wood...)
And the cowardly Lion....
"We're off to see the Wizard!"
After a water fight....... I'm melting!!!!!
They find the Emerald City and the Scarecrow gets a brain!
Tin Man gets a heart....
The Cowardly Lion gets his courage (check out the medal)....
All courtesy of the Wizard (Which is actually the groom half of Wedding Riley!! How creative is THAT???)
And Dorothy makes her way home to Uncle Henry and Auntie Em.
Wasn't that amazing!!!!!!!! I asked Bif how long it took him - "about 100 hours" - YI YI YI! And he gave it to ME! I have a terrific photo of Bif and I but the darn thing is too big to use on Typepad! Rats!!!
Anyway - Bif - besides saying "Thank You" a million times, I only have one more thing to say - YOU ROCK!
Ok - how do you follow that? With a couple Make & Takes for Memorial Weekend!
Pretty huh?
Both these cards are only $1 each all day long on Saturday! Come see us - and bring your company if you are having some for the weekend!
If we won't see you, have a terrific Memorial Day and take a moment to remember our service men and women. HUGS!!!
SUCH wonderful, WONDERFUL use of materials on this darling gem! I'm so glad I got to see it! Bravo!

Extremely creative! Bif is light years ahead of his time...Looks like there could be a future for publication, find the right production company, and patent this! Awesome work..

Tanya,
It was my pleasure to make this book for you. I am glad you like it. The long hours were worth it to see your smile as you read it for the first time!
I am looking forward to the next release of Riley stamps this summer so I can start another book. Have a wonderful Memorial Day with your family.
Take care,
Bif
