Big Butt Bertie!

Hi we are back again already! Bet you weren't expecting to hear from us again until next Monday .... haha!

Today we have a special challenge as Charlene aka Lilluvsstampin on SCS is undergoing surgery on her hand today and won't be able to stamp for at least 6 weeks. So we all decided that we would make her a special get well card to help cheer her up.

So why the Big Butt Bertie .... well I will explain. When we first started our group and were chatting in the chat room we use we each gave each other nicknames .... Cindy aka Mothermark suggested she be called Gertie for some strange reason to help save confusion as we had two Cindy's which can be confusing. Someone probably either Cindy or Charlene suggested the name Bertie. A little later Charlene who btw loves M & M's .... said something about if she didn't stop eating all these M & M's she would get a big butt ..... so from there the name Big Butt Bertie just stuck .... haha. If the truth is known she probably has one of the smaller butts in our group.

Our challenge today was to create a get well card for Charlene .... it can be a butt card because of her Big Butt Bertie nic name; it can be an M & M card because she likes M & Ms, or it can be any traditional get well soon card.

For this challenge we have a few special guests who have also created cards for our challenge ... you can see their cards underneath the rest of the CCEE teams cards.

Don't forget as usual you can also play along ... if you want to send Charlene a get well card that would be great, or if you just want to make a card using one or more of the suggested themes that is fine too. Don't forget to put the keyword CCEEC if you upload to SCS.

Here are our cards:

I created a little m&m purse for Charlene because I don't believe for one minute that she has a big butt or that she will EVER have one. Of course, I will be sending lots of refills for a speedy recovery! ((Charlene))

Charlene, I know there is not alot of M & M's in here. I didn't wanna cover up the butts but accompanying this little acrylic box card will be some of your beloved M & M's in a bag not a box! Good Luck! We are all thinking of you today and sending best wishes!
