Hey Ghoulfriend - SU Stamps

My first halloween card of the year! I used this sketch but it's too small to read and now I can't give credit to the sketch maker. Sorry!! I go around to all the blogs I visit and download the sketch for later. Only problem is you can't take notes on where you got it from. Hopefully some of you will recognize it. I used my new square scallop nestabilities and cut felt for the black square. It's so cool. Once again IRL it looks way better. Hmmf. I put Stickles in the center of the flower and orange dot Stickles all the way around each white frame. I also used Stickles on the bottom of the witch's dress. Remember The Wizard of Oz? Ya, green witch. Still creeps me out. Too funny!

Javablu Award

So I thought I would beat Laurel and Simone to sending this award out first because I had seen it floating around out there about a day before they each sent it. DARNIT!!! They scooped me! Thanks to both of you for this award!!! :)

Even though they have this award already I would like to send it back to them.

Laurel your blog is such an inspiration to me. I go to it every time I'm stuck and always find something to help finish off my card or scrap pages.

Simone your blog is so much fun and I love seeing how your cards are advancing in your skill level. Although, like you have the knack for, I would love to be able to create a simple yet classy card like you can and just leave it like that.

Bere I just love all your cards and I love the other interesting posts you make as well.

Catherine the cards you create from your sketches are just amazing. This site is also a place I visit when I have a card making block. Thanks!

Deb your blog and cards are wonderful!!! I also like her straight forward down to earth attitude that comes across on her blog. You go girl!

Sick Riley

I made this little fella last weekend but I couldn't post it until I gave it to my mom. She just had a sore jaw but she's better now. Hey!! ANY excuse to make a card!!! LOL!! :)

Set 2 - Lance's 60th

I am so happy with the way these turned out. I used the Blue Ribbon paper package that Laurel sent to me from CTMH. I am really loving the coordinates. Makes it a lot easier having all the right colors at your fingertips. I did paper piercing, stitching, distressing, inked and embossed the frame that Lance is in. It looks very bright but IRL it matches. They look much better side by side.....

Joy!

I just felt the need to use my Quikutz flourishes. Luv them!! I used Ranger's Adirondack Pearl Metallic paint for the snowflake, then distresses with ink and added gems. I would make more for this year but I think gluing on the gems would wear me out!! LOL!

Whipper Snapper

This little monkey is too cute! An image sent to me by Laurel (thanks!) by Whipper Snapper. I am getting good practice with my Copics! I love the bg paper. I went and bought it specifically for this card. Fortunately it was double sided so I could use both!!
