Because of three recent pledges from Mr. and Mrs. James P. Turner, III, the Thornedge Foundation, and Mr. Geoffrey P. Pohanka '76, the Saint James School Board of Trustees has voted to proceed with the design and build of a new athletic center, to be named the Turner Athletic Center.
Jim and Toni Turner are the parents of J. Parker Turner, IV '02, a member of the SJS Board of Trustees, and Garrett A. Turner.
"Saint James School represents the values that we want to be passed on to students now and for many years to come," the Turners said. "God, education, and sports. When we say sports, it is more about the lessons learned in sports; teamwork, keeping active, knowing that others are counting on you, and the importance of remaining ladies and gentlemen throughout the process."
The Turner Athletic Center will be built as an expansion to the right of the existing athletic complex, Alumni Hall.
Plans for the new facility include: the construction of a performance gymnasium, new locker rooms for boys and girls, new locker rooms for visiting teams, and improved wrestling facilities. This facility also provides an alternate indoor space for commencement and other large school events. In addition, a redesigned entrance and new parking lots will make the facility accessible and friendly to all.
To accommodate our larger student body and growing athletic programs, renovations will also be made to Alumni Hall and the Cotton Building. In the Cotton Building, we will be reconfiguring the facility to accommodate drama spaces, dance studios, and a Fabrication Laboratory (Fab Lab). In Alumni Hall, a new gymnasium floor will be installed as well as a new fitness center. The new fitness center will include upgraded equipment and will be larger in size to give our student-athletes more space to train.
The School is working with MSB Architects of Hagerstown to design the building. The firm has also designed the Pohanka Fine Arts Center, which is currently under construction behind Claggett Hall.
"With the construction of these two very much needed new buildings, our campus will be greatly enhanced," said Father Dunnan. "Our arts and athletic programs will benefit greatly from these two beautiful state-of-the-art buildings."
These capital projects are a significant investment in arts and athletics at Saint James, and we are proud to announce that we have raised $13 million toward the $17 million total. The School is seeking additional supporters for the remaining funds.
If you are interested in making a gift to support the Turner Athletic Center, Pohanka Fine Arts Center, or renovation of the Cotton Building, please contact Margaret McGuigan, Director of Development, at 301-733-9330 ext. 3069 or email@example.com. Gifts of any size are welcome and greatly appreciated, and they can be made with a three to five year pledge. Naming opportunities are available for gifts of $50,000 or more.
We are grateful for your gift in support of Saint James School.

Boris Johnson is London's new mayor
If you were wondering who is the new mayor of London, he's the Conservative candidate, Boris Johnson.
After a fiercely battle, Ken Livingstone the guy that got the Friends of Earth "Greenest Mayor" seal of approval, lost. He was the first mayor to take radical actions which turned out to be innovative decisions: extra fees for those that entered city center in a so called congestion charge and was planning to introduce a £25 gas-guzzler tax.
However, the new mayor of London, Boris Johnson is not going to stop the environment campaign and his environmental manifesto includes :
- will try to reduce CO2 emissions by 60% by 2025
- will stand against the Heathrow airport expansion
- will promote hybrid buses
- will ban plastic bags
- will support "schemes that pay Londoners to recycle"
- will protect gardens and green belts from development
- London will become a genuinely cycle-friendly city

Just for the records Boris Johnson was ranked (note: pdf link) by the environmental group Friends of Earth, at 7 out of 10 while the former mayor of London got 9. Let's hope Johnson will keep his promises.

For many of us who are social media savvy, one avenue in particular is likely to hold a special place in our hearts: Instagram. And you know what? Being obsessed with Instagram isn't a bad thing. Social media can be inspirational, educational, and great for building community. I mean, where else can you connect with people all over the world who share your interests?
So it seems obvious to me why Instagram is pretty Insta-great, but not everyone in my life is so enthused about the amount of time I dedicate to taking photos of pretty things, scrolling through my feed, leaving comments, or, of course, perfecting my selfie game (it really is an art form). But earlier this month, Mashable ranked Instagram number one on its list of the best apps of all-time, so that's got to mean something.
Founded in 2010, I remember initially brushing off Instagram as one of those hipster apps that someone might use to share their filtered photo of a craft beer. On a whim, however, I downloaded the app the day that it became available for Droid, and grew pretty obsessed (much like its now 400 million users).
Once I learned how to master the app for myself, Instagram transformed my small business and put me in front of so many new potential customers. In a way, it changed my life. Still, there are far too many people who want to criticize my love of the app. Here are just nine things I'm tired of hearing from them, and that I'm sure other IG aficionados will understand.
1. "Get off your phone."
Since I first founded my store as an online retailer in 2012, it's been necessary for me to conduct a lot of business on my phone. And when my laptop bit the dust in March, I was forced to be even more mobile. Unlike Twitter, Tumblr, or Facebook, Instagram really only works on your cell. So if you want to be active on it for personal or professional reasons, well, you have to be on your phone. I swear, I can double tap and listen at the same time.
2. "What are you even doing on there?"
When people ask me what I'm doing in all the time I spend on Instagram, I tell them that I am changing the world. Instagram is one platform that has been really crucial in sharing my own radical self love. Relating my own experiences to others has been really healing for me, and I know that sharing my story has inspired others to do the same. We could all be a little kinder towards ourselves and humans at large, and Intagram reminds me of this every day.
3. "Stop taking selfies."
Selfies are a form of a self care, and I think anyone who wants to try and spout that taking selfies makes you self-centered or vain just needs to take a few more of their own.
4. "You post too much."
I have a friend who works in social media for rappers, and he told me that I should be posting three to five times per day on Instagram. This is only one person's opinions, but folks pay for his expertise, so that's the standard that I go by. There are some brands that post multiple times an hour and that have millions of followers. So I think ultimately you should do what works for you.
5. "Instagram isn't real life."
I hear this criticism all too often, but Instagram has made me highly visible online, and that carries real life successes and consequences. The moments when my images are stolen and reposted for memes are actually upsetting in real life, so I simply don't want to hear this anymore.
6. "You try too hard."
I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I know I personally spend five minutes on my makeup on most days, whether I'm getting ready to take a picture or not. And it's really no one's business how much or how little time someone wants to spend taking photos for Instagram. Stop hating and let us live.
7. "You shouldn't wear that in your post!"
Welcome to my life online. When I released this dress, it started a major debate about what is an "acceptable" dress for a plus size woman. One of the main ways that I use Instagram is to challenge sartorial norms. This avenue helps me create an alternative narrative.
8. "Insta-fame doesn't matter."
So many of the amazing opportunities that I have had in my career came as a result of Instagram. While likes don't necessarily equate to money, dedicating time to growing a large Instagram following can build community and eventually put cash in your pocket. And more importantly, regardless of dollars, Instagram can help spread really progressive, transformative imagery of self love and body positivity. When the media won't give us a more inclusive representation of beauty, Instagram gives us the power to do it ourselves.
9. "I just don't get Instagram."
It's almost the end of 2015, so I feel like I shouldn't have to explain all of the benefits of Instagram to anyone. Whether you are using the app for personal reasons, business reasons, or both, I think there's a lot of community building that can be done through the platform. And the more time that you dedicate to it, the more it can work for you.
So as with anything you may not understand at first, it's important to remember that empowerment and vehicles for subversion can be found even in the most unlikely of places.

Three months earlier, Jenna Springer was supposed to meet her lifelong best friend Celia. But when Jenna arrived late, she found that Celia had disappeared-and hasn't been seen again. Jenna has blamed herself for her friend's disappearance every single day since then. The only piece of evidence is a lone diamond earring found where Celia and Jenna were planning to meet, leading the national media to dub Celia "The Diamond Mom." And even though Jenna has obsessively surfed message boards devoted to missing persons cases, she is no closer to finding any answers-or easing her guilt. But when her son's new girlfriend-who suddenly arrived in town without a past-disappears, a stricken Jenna begins to unwind the tangled truth behind Celia's tragedy. And as long-buried secrets finally come to light, she discovers how completely lives can be shattered by a few simple lies.

Chief Executive Officer of Zoomanity Group and President of the Yupangco Group of Companies, Robert Laurel Yupangco who was at the cover of Magazine for being the CEO at age 24 and the grandson of former President of the Philippines Jose P. Laurel is getting ready for the well love elephant and not to mention the controversial specie from Manila Zoo named Mali.
Robert L. Yupangco- CEO of Zoomanity Group
"We have started talks with planners to design the sanctuary of Mali, taking into account her physical condition and her space requirements. We will provide her with adequate food, shelter and a vast enclosure. 30- 50 hectares will be allocated to Mali in a forfeited area which will simulate her natural habitat." According to Zoomanity Group reply to the questions I sent to Robert Yupangco.
Mayor Joseph "Erap" Estrada of Manila granted Yupangco request to transfer Mali temporarily to his Zoobic Safari Theme Park at Zambales inside the Subic Freefort Zone. Zoobic Safari is composed of 50 hectares of land while Robert Yupangco is expert in taking care of animals. Zoomanity group owned 6 Theme Parks in the Philippines; Zoobic Safari at Subic, Zoocobia at Clark Pampanga, Paradizoo at Mendez Cavite, Residence Inn at Tagaytay and Zoocolate Thrills at Loboc Bohol.
"The issue of Mali has attracted both national and international attention because of the animal welfare aspect and the celebrities who have declared their stand on it. We in Zoomanity are happy to be able to offer a win-win solution to this long- standing controversy." - Zoomanity Group.
My kids and Mali last month at Manila Zoo
Mali is the talk of the town and reached International celebrities. Check out what our local celebrities have to say when I asked them about their comment about the move to Zoobic Safari.
Carlos Celdran ( Manila Chief of Tourism and Famous Manila Tour guide)
"Im happy that there are so many people who cares about Mali."
Bert Guevarra (Earth Day Network Philippines President)
"Even people need to reconnect with nature; much more for Mali who hasn't been out of his cage for years. He needs a vacation. "
Chuckie Dreyfus (Actor)
"I don't mind as long as Mali can get better care and attention there. He needs to have ample space to roam and hopefully other elephants too."
Ian Angelo King (Hotelier)
"Mali is old and transporting her might put her in shock. I think the people at the zoo know what they are doing and she belongs there. "
Ana Santos (Entrepreneur- Picture City)
"As long as there's a guarantee moving him won't cause Mali any distress, am fine with it."
Robert Yupangco, Aileen Dreyfus, Chuckie Dreyfus, Sid Laforteza and Grace Bondad Nicolas at Residence Inn, Tagaytay
Kids at Paradizoo. 8 hectares development under Zoomanity Group

Zoomanity Group is now arranging and planning the safe transport, preparation for total care and getting ready for Mali. According to the recent news, Mali will stay at Zoobic Safari for 1 and a half years while the Manila Zoo is being rehabilitated and renovated. It's another milestone for the former President of the Philippines now incumbent Mayor Joseph "Erap" Estrada.

WILL THEY DO THE FANDANGO?: Michael King, as Buddy, Brett Edman (Brit) and Nicolette Black (Oz) in We Will Rock You. Photo: Luke KynastonWRITER Ben Elton's talents as a comedian are evident in the laugh-raising script he put together for We Will Rock You, a lively musical which uses the songs of British rock band Queen to tell a future-set story about people living in a world where live music is banned and has been replaced by computer-generated music.
While that might seem to be an unlikely subject for a musical, We Will Rock You has been a hit worldwide, with its inaugural London production running for 12 years after it opened in 2002 and more than 16 million people seeing it in global professional productions. And, with staging rights being offered to community theatre companies since late 2017, the musical is wowing more full houses.
Newcastle's Metropolitan Players is staging the show at the Civic Theatre from August 22 to September 1, and its reputation led to many people eagerly auditioning. The cast of 40 includes well-known performers and rising young players. Three-times CONDA winning director Julie Black has been impressed by their work at rehearsals.
We Will Rock You makes clever use of the Queen songs. Killer Queen, for example, is delivered by a character bearing that name who rules planet Earth, renamed iPlanet, 300 years into the future. Killer Queen is the head of an organisation, Globalsoft Corporation, which forces everyone to conform to its demands. The planet's children, known as Ga Ga Kids, as well as the adults, watch the same movies, listen to computer-generated music, wear the same clothes and have the same thoughts and opinions, and sing about their lives in Radio Ga Ga. But there is disquiet, with one male student, Galileo, who is just finishing his course, declaring to his classmates, in a song, I Want to Break Free. And he, and a similarly troubled girl, Scaramouche, become involved with people known as Bohemians, who want to restore real music.
Wendy Ratcliffe, who plays Killer Queen, notes that she let a computer program take over her body and is now trying to remake the world in her image by forcing other people to have a similar transformation. Dain Watts, as her police commander, Khashoggi, sees him as a man obsessed with power, and hopes that one day he will be the top dog.
Bec Kynaston, is the sarcastic and cynical Scaramouche (whose name is in the lyrics of the Queen song Bohemian Rhapsody), and points to her sarcasm being a defence measure, and that she wants to fall in love.
We Will Rock You has performances in its two-week season on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 8pm, Saturday matinees at 2pm, and a 2pm show on August 26. Tickets $66.30, concession, student, junior $56.10.
THEATRE REVIEWNewcastle University Revue: Stranger DegreesBrennan Room, University Callaghan CampusThursday at 12pm and 6pm (final shows)WHILE there is some loss of time in the sketches in this revue, no real time is lost in its staging, with 25 amusing sequences and songs in a 65-minute running time. And while the 13 performers look largely at university issues, outsiders will also find themselves laughing almost continually.
Sketches on various subjects are interspersed with segments of stories that are spread across the running time. One series, Chosen Ones, has two university students trying to cope with issues at the institution after it has been taken over by a strange team led by a horsefaced creature called Hippocrampus. The problem of finding car parks at the university venues is dismissed as they approach what is referred to as "the tower of a thousand parking spaces" and they are later transformed into talking cars called Manuel and Otto. Another series of short scenes has a character called Law Abiding Citizen Man trying to do the right thing when faced by problems such as parking in the light rail area. And the Seven Deadly Sins appear in a sketch as members of a marketing company.
O'Loughlin's Gap YearCOMEDIAN Fiona O'Loughlin, who won this year's Australian television series I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, will present her popular new show, Gap Year, at Newcastle City Hal on Friday, at 8pm. The show will look at her recent experiences, including her treatment in a medical institution. Tickets, $39, student/concession $36, can be bought through Ticketek.

Melbourne - An ecstatic Serena Williams said winning a
record 23rd Grand Slam at the tournament where it all began, and against her
sister Venus, was "the stuff that legends are made of".
The 35-year-old had to dig deep to see off Venus and finally
surpass Steffi Graf's Open era mark, overcoming a nervy and error-strewn start
when she smashed a racquet before reeling in a tense 6-4, 6-4 victory at the
Australian Open.
In doing so, she also won a seventh Melbourne title and
returned to world number one.
"It's a great feeling. No better place to do it than
Melbourne," Serena said.
"My first Grand Slam started here, and getting to 23
here, but playing Venus, it's stuff that legends are made of. I couldn't have
written a better story.
"I just feel like it was the right moment. Everything
kind of happened. It hasn't quite set in yet, but it's really good."
The American made her Grand Slam debut in Melbourne way back
in 1998 - knocked out in round two by Venus - and won the first of her major
titles at the US Open a year later.
Newly engaged, she deliberately avoided any talk of Graf's
record during the tournament, a strategy she said helped her relax.
"I've been chasing it for a really long time. It feels
like, really long time," she said of the record, happy to talk now it has
been secured.
"When it got on my radar, I knew I had an opportunity
to get there, and I'm here. I'm here."
With the record now in the bag, she insisted there were no new goals, despite being just one shy of the all-time Grand Slam titles achieved by Margaret Court, who watched her match courtside on Saturday.
"I never had a number. That's the beauty of it,"
she said.
"When I started this journey, I just wanted to win a
Grand Slam. Then I just wanted to win. Every time I step on the court, I want
to win."
Her career, though, has involved plenty of impressive
numbers. The Williams sisters have won an incredible 30 Grand Slams between
Serena said she couldn't have done achieved her career
without her older sister beside her.
"We are just so proud. We feel so fortunate to have this opportunity to be the ones that can do it," she said.
"Venus and I work so hard. Still to this day we work
side-by-side each other at practice. We motivate each other.
"Every time she won her match, I felt obligated to win. I've got to win, too. The motivation she gives me, it's really second to nothing. It's amazing."

Thanks to everyone who came along on Monday for our Christmas Family and Friends Tournament – the most bonkers tournament ever. We had four teams, Tinsel, Mince Pies, Super Snowmen and Christmas Puddings. Team Tinsel won the tournament but I think the real win was that we didn't have to stretcher off any parents!
We finished with a Guinness Book Of Records attempt to have the largest number of people possible play a 11v11 game of football (ok I lie but it was approximately 20v20 with an age range of 4-44 (or possibly slightly older – not mentioning any names!)).
Anyway everyone had lots of fun and we wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.

A few years off of Lykke Li's Wounded Rhymes release and David Lynch's gorgeous Crazy Clown Time (which included a number of breathtaking collabs, also), the indie songstress and American TV director and producer - and surprisingly astute music man - have teamed up on a pretty new track, "I'm Waiting Here."
The bonus track off Lynch's freshly announced upcoming album, The Big Dream, "I'm Waiting Here" is a perfectly poetic and trippy dream of a number - the kind of sound both Li and Lynch nailed down in their respective past solo works. In the modern doo-wop waltz, Li's childlike vocals breathily cascade over the slow heartbeat thump, making the romance of the swaying ballad palpable from her first coo. Featuring a spoken word middle eight (true to the song's promenading make-up), "I'm Waiting Here" is already contemporary jukebox one week into its existence, as far as I'm concerned. Watch the fitting new video below, or stop what you're doing and pay this little beauty a slow dance.
The Big Dream drops July 15.

Emergent Expertise?
McGivern, Patrick
Educational Philosophy and Theory, v46 n6 p692-708 2014
The concept of emergence appears in various places within the literature on expertise and expert practice. Here, I examine some of these applications of emergence in the light of two prominent accounts of emergence from the philosophy of science and philosophy of mind. I evaluate these accounts with respect to several specific contexts in which emergence seems to be an appropriate way of characterizing expertise in groups. While it is sometimes assumed that emergent phenomena are in some way inexplicable, the two accounts of emergence I discuss highlight ways in which the concept of emergence relates to specific styles of explanation.

A Guide for Hiring Commercial and Residential Painting Contractor
Painting the interior or exterior of your properties is always a great decision to make considering the benefits of doing so. Painting is one of the remodeling steps you can take especially if you want to enhance the look of your properties. Painting is also necessary as a way of maintaining your properties for a long time because the paint protects the properties against damages from rodents but also from harsh weather conditions. Painting properties is not an easy process that can be undertaken in how and therefore the need to plan appropriately especially considering that you can't do it all by yourself.There are many benefits of engaging the painting companies for commercial or residential properties. You ought to be very careful when you are engaging the painting companies and below are some of the considerations to make when engaging the painting contractors.
You should start by looking at the previous work of the different painting companies before you can commit to one. A company that is proud of the work they do, will give you references to look at such as the pictures or persons to contact and that can be a great source of information. Apart from getting references from the company itself, you can choose to engage customer reviews on the Internet and more so you can get referrals from people around if you contact them.
It is very necessary that you consider hiring a company that has an insurance cover. Painting is very technical it involves reaching very high places that are out of human reach and that is why damages and injuries sometimes happen. When you see a company that has taken the insurance policy when it comes to painting for the clients, it means that they are very focused on offering you the best customer service because they don't want you to be liable in case of damages and injuries. Apart from the insurance policy, it is also a precaution to take to engage a company that is licensed. This is a precaution to take because you will find some companies that may want to deny the responsibility when damages and injuries happen because you will have legal grounds to sue them and they may also not want to lose their permit to offer the services.
It is also necessary to consider the reputation of the company you want to engage. If you want a guarantee that the company will offer you quality painting services for your properties, you should look at the repetition because if they have a name in the market, it means that many customers are satisfied by their services.Consider also, the years of experience in the market because it will also contribute to the quality of painting services.

In the PVPA Dance Department, we celebrate the many different forms and functions that dance serves around the world. We recognize that dance can communicate and express a wide range of human feelings and experiences! Not only do we train our PVPA dance students to understand that the rigorous study of dance can lead to a professional career, but also that exposure to and exploration of different dance genres and creative processes are key aspects of a healthy, well rounded, culturally and aesthetically aware person.
At PVPA, the dance courses we offer our students are multi-faceted. Our classes blend skill building in technique with creative experiences linked to improvisation and choreography, provide a foundation in theory and history, and draw connections between dance and other disciplines and art forms. We offer a sequence of classes that train students from a beginner through more advanced level in several dance genres, and provide multiple performance outlets through informal showings at PVPA and out in the community, and concerts by our two pre-professional dance companies, Catalyst, and WOFA (West African Dance and Drumming) at the Academy of Music in Northampton. Our Dance Education Laboratory (DEL) program offers dance students mentoring and teaching opportunities in neighboring elementary schools to promote community service and partnership.

Barn owls use interaural level differences for vertical sound source localization: their feathers on their head are asymmetric leading to differences in their ears' sensitivities to sounds from above and below.⇒
Sensory maps and their registration across modalities has been demonstrated in mice, cats, monkeys, guinea pigs, hamsters, barn owls, and iguanas.⇒
Rucci et al. present an algorithm which performs auditory localization and combines auditory and visual localization in a common SC map. The mapping between the representations is learned using value-dependent learning.⇒
Bergan et al. offer four factors which might explain the increase in shift of the auditory space maps in owls with shifted visual spatial perception:
If increased importance of accurate map alignment is what causes stronger map alignment in the optic tectum of owls that hunt than in those of owls that do not hunt (with visually displacing prisms), then that could point either
Rucci et al. model learning of audio-visual map alignment in the barn owl SC. In their model, projections from the retina to the SC are fixed (and visual RFs are therefore static) and connections from ICx are adapted through value-dependent learning.⇒
It is interesting that Rucci et al. modeled map alignment in barn owls using value-based learning so long before value based learning was demonstrated in map alignment in barn owls.⇒
Rearing barn owls in darkness results in mis-alignment of auditory and visual receptive fields in the owls' optic tectum.⇒
Rearing barn owls in darkness results in discontinuities in the map of auditory space of the owls' optic tectum.⇒
The superficial SC of the owl is strongly audio-visual.⇒

New here, I had a few isos laying around and I thought I could place them all on a pendrive and be able to boot into them and install whatever I need on a PC that doesn't have any optical drives on it.
Is it possible to do that from Linux? I don't have any Windows version installed.
I tried this guide, but grub wouldn't install properly on FAT32 here, so it wouldn't boot. Also tried this guide, but for some reason it says "Cannot find the file specified" or a similar error during boot when selecting Windows 7 (haven't tried it with WindowsXP iso yet as I don't know what arguments to add. After pressing enter, I get kicked back to the grub menu Strangely with the latter method GParted live boots with the specified arguments added to the menuentry, but also get the same error as above, just that when I press enter, it boots into the live session.

BENEFITING: American Red Cross
Peter Nunez
"Bangon Buntog" is a fundraiser aimed to raise funds for the families in Buntog, Dumalag, Capiz in the Philippines who were badly hit by the Super Typhoon "Yolanda." About 80-90% of the residents in this area have damaged houses, most without roofs. I grew up in this area. In the '80's we lost our own house there because of typhoon "Undang." We survived because of the generosity of one person. It is time to give back.

The SNP have one more seat at Holyrood than Labour. But, some Holyrood seat counts were very close, and there were a large number of spoilt papers. Where small majorities had large numbers of spoilt papers, there may be cases for legal challenges. Labour are looking at Cunningham North where there was a majority of 48 as Kenneth Gibson SNP ousted former Labour Minister Alan Wilson. If this is allowed, it will open the floodgates.
Alex Salmond has said there will be an inquiry into the election fiasco. But thinking about it, he must take a share of the blame. The SNP called themselves "Alex Salmond for First Minister" in the list of parties. This meant that they came top of the (alphabetical) party list. Voters, seeing a person, not a party at the top of the list were very confused.
The process might go like this: the voter sees the voting paper, and then does a rough scan to see what is what. A brief 'first look' gives two lists, both of which are headed up by people. Instant confusion. Yes, the process was simple enough once you read the thing properly, but we have to face the fact that 100,000 people did not get it right.
I am suggesting that if the SNP had appeared as the "Scottish National Party" in the list of parties, then the mistakes would have been significantly fewer. Tommy Sheridan did the same. It might not have altered the result, but at least a few more voters would have had their voices heard, rather than be consigned to the bin.

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!
I am back with another pink card! Can you tell I like pink! This card style is called a Center Step Card. With my last HSN purchase of Anna Griffin Window Box Card Cartridge, I did not sign up for the autoship for the two upcoming cartridges including a Window Frame Card Cartridge. The card base is similar to this center step card. I am happy to see the cartridge will be offered in September!
There are many available tutorials on making the center step card base. One that I have used before is found on SplitCoastStampers. Well, I tried to make one using Cricut Design Space and I am pleased with the results.
Papers are Cricut Green cardstock, Anna Griffin patterned paper, and Recollections pink paper.
Cricut Cartridges:
Used Shapes feature to create the base of card.
Anna's Elegant Embellishments 2 - Lattice Background 4.5" wide x 5. 5" high.
Anna's Fantastic Flipcards - Using Print and Cut Images
Roses 2.5" wide x 3.35" high. Smaller roses cut 2" wide x 2.68" high. I cut two of each size and pop-dotted one flower on top of second flower to add dimension.
Embellishment - Top left Green image is cut 1.75" wide x 1.042" high.
Bow Embellishment is cut 2.25" wide x 1.264" high from two shades of pink paper.
Anna's Vintage Phrases - Sentiment "Sweet Surprises" cut 4" wide x 2.273" high.
Side view of card.
For finishing touch, I added an adhesive ribbon trim purchased from Michael's. Recollections pearl is added to the bow.
Hope you enjoy! Thanks for your visits and comments!

Yes..another week has rolled around. Our meal planning Monday actually is usually meal planning Saturday. I love sitting down with a selection of cook books and magazines and picking out a couple of recipes. I am my own worst enemy though - hate having the same thing too often!
So, this week's meal plan is looking a little like this:
Pork and noodle soup
Loaded nachos (served in a massive bowl with homemade tortilla chips, topped with grated cheese, avocado, halved baby tomato, massive dollop of natural yoghurt and coriander)
Slow cooker vege curry
Fish tacos (use Jamie Oliver's fish fingers - they are tops for a super fast meal)
Home made pizza
Its an easy week this week as I ease back into the whole work/kids/life routine after four weeks on the road (more about that later!).
I leave you with a picture of my lovely teenager and his cinnamon doughnut and jam jaffle. Made fresh over the fire in Birdsville. Jury is out on that one!
Have a great week peeps!
