Happy Halloween! For this special day I have my final Halloween card of the year. I must say, I did complete more cards this year than I normally do. Usually I’m doing well if I get two done- one for my mom and one for my husband’s mom. Hopefully I can keep up the pace for Thanksgiving. Any suggestions on which new Thanksgiving stamp(s) I should pick up this year? Any favorites?

I thought the eyelet made the image look like a door. I should have made it a functioning door but didn’t. Sometimes my imagination gets a little carried away. If the eyelet bugs you please ignore it.

Yup, here it is, my favorite Halloween stamp I break out every year. It’s getting to the point that I can no longer remember who I’ve sent a card using this image to and who I haven’t. I think she is muy fabulous. More Paper Than Shoes Forum challenge this week is to make a Halloween card without using the colors orange and yellow. I just about succeeded. The back of her broom just didn’t look right so I did add one Y family Copic. I just wasn’t willing to sacrifice my witchy stamps good looks.

Just a quick post to show a  few things I made for two of my SIL’s birthdays. The cupcake on the tag is a Squigglefly image from Jane’s Bakery and the pattern paper is 3 Bugs in a Rug. The card’s image is from Whipper Snapper and the sentiment in from High Hopes. They are both colored with Copics.

I’m entering them into the following challenges-

Papertake Weekly- shiny, sparkly, & special

Simon Says- birthday/celebration

Sorry to rush it but I am hoping to get some crafting time in before bed.

I love this cute little Whipper Snapper stamp of a little girl named Nurse Morgan. I colored her to match the fab green paper from American Crafts and the pink polka-dots from Bo Bunny. I used my Cricut to cut out the circles and embossed the front circle with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. The lace border punch is from Martha.

Challenges:

I followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday. Both The Pink Elephant and Cute Card Thursdays challenges are to add green (my second entry for both). Stamp Something challenge is “something girly” and Simon Says is also “girly”. Last but not least Creative Inspirations challenge is to add lace, pins, and pearls.
