Happy Halloween

 I made one Halloween card this year. I bought this Set of die cuts and rub ons and after opening it when I got home there was a witches hat in it, and I thought what am I going to do with this, then one of the girls in our group was making her yearly Halloween cards for everyone in our group and I just thought she might appreciate it, I found these bottle rub ons that I thought might go with it.  I drew in a line and some squiggles to kind of ground them, also drew the web. I added some Tickets with numbers to make up 31 for the day.


  • Stamperia - Herbarium Silvae Cardboard die cuts (Hat) Rub-on (Bottles) 
  • Paper Studio - Distressed Floral paper
  • 49 and Market - Ticket Essentials color Swatch Grove 
  • Hand drawn Web

Fall Birthday

 Switching to another masculine birthday card, this time I used a pattern paper from my scrap box for the background, a few stamps, die cuts and stickers to finish it off.


  • Tim Holtz - Leaf Fragments die
  • 49 and Market - Creative Combo's Stamps and dies
  • Ecstasy Crafts - Happy Birthday sticker colored w/markers
  • Paper Studio - Block Print Stickers (mushroom)

I have been out of town for the last 5 days, we went to Arkansas, stayed in a cabin, did a little hiking and shopping and just enjoying getting away from everything, celebrating our anniversary, so I am a little behind on blogs again but not too bad, I was able to look at a few a couple nights :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Get well soon

 My friend recently had knee surgery, so yes once again I used that paper pack but I added a printed image from Graphic Fairy this time. The image had a blank space so I added a stamped sentiment to it.  I matted the image onto cardstock and used dimensional tape on the back. Before applying I added some twine that I wrapped around a couple times and tied it off with a bow!


  • 49 and Market - Peach 6x8 mini collection paper
  • Graphics Fairy - Printed image
  • Spellbinders - A2 matting basics A die
  • Hero Arts - Everyday sayings sentiment stamp
  • Twine

Thinking of you

 One of the girls in our cardmaking group lost her brother.  The tag in this sticker pack already had a gold leaf on it, but looked a little empty so I added another flower sticker to it. The border is a sticker out of the pack too. Sentiment is a stamp. I used a piece of paper from my scrap bin.
