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 Flowers

 Using more of my advent calendar goodies from last year. I managed to use 4 items on this card. I stamped the sentiment in orange and brown to give it a two tone effect.

• 49 and Market - Peach 6x8 paper 
• Diamond Press - Advent calendar Flower, leaves and border dies and sentiment stamp

I would like to share my card today with the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge anything goes

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 :)

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
