BOO!!!

***Don't forget to sign up for my blog candy!!!***

Good evening!!! If you were off for Columbus Day I hope you enjoyed your time off!!! I on the other hand had to work today but got off an hour early so it wasn't too bad!!! LOL!!! :D I got home and my hubby said he would cook dinner so that gave me some time to work on some cards!!! I am still stuck on making Halloween cards so here is another with the stamps my SIL bought for me! :D

Stamps: Unknown Paper: Black TCS, My Mind's Eye dp, & Hydrangea & White Daisy CS (CTMH) Ink: Copics, Brilliance Graphite Black & White Daisy Ink (CTMH) Accents: Heidi Swapp Ghost Star, Orange Bigger Brad (CTMH), Paper Piercer, Coluzzle, CB Swiss Dots, Pop Dots & Black Gingham Ribbon (Ribbon FX)

For this card I decided to give Beate's Weekend Sketch a try and I'm so glad I did!!! :D I started by stamping my image in Brilliance Graphite Black Ink onto White Daisy CS. I colored this super cute ghost with my copics and cut him out and put him to the side to work on my base. My base is a 5" x 10" piece of Black TCS folded in half. I then used my Coluzzle to make the big orange circle from some My Mind's Eye dp that I got from my LSS. I then used my Coluzzle again to cut out a piece of Hydrangea CS. I ran it through my CB using the Swiss Dots folder and distressed the circle a little with my scissors and taped them both to my base. Next I paper pieced around my circles and added a Heidi Swapp Ghost Star with an Orange Bigger Brad in the middle. I then pop dotted my image on top of the Hydrangea circle and added some black gingham ribbon. I wasn't going to add a sentiment, but I decided to add BOO! in White Daisy Ink and I think it came out cute!!! :D

Well thanks for stopping by today!!! I'm off to work on some more cards and watch Dancing w/ the Stars!!! :D Tomorrow I go to the dentist so I want to get as much done today in case I don't feel up for it tomorrow...WISH ME LUCK!!! :D

Have a Fabulous Evening! :D

Trick or Treat!!!

Hey there, hope you're enjoying your Sunday afternoon. Tomorrow is Columbus Day and I wish I was off from work! (OK, I'll stop whining now!) Well yesterday my niece whose five came to visit for a while and the first thing she asked me was "Auntie can we make a card?" She really knows how to pull my heart strings!!! :D My SIL had gotten me these Halloween stamps by Paper Studio a couple of weeks ago, so I pulled them out and we got to work.


Stamps: Paper Studio Paper: My Minds Eye & CTMH CS Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black Ink & Copics Accents: Orange Bigger Brad & Liquid Glass (CTMH), Paper Piercer, Green Polka Dot Ribbon, Circle & Scalloped Circle Punch (Paper Studio), Pop Dots

I thought this spider was the cutest thing so I quickly got to work with him. I stamped my spider with Brilliance Graphite Black Ink and stamped him onto White Daisy CS. I then colored him with my copics. I know spiders aren't purple, but I couldn't resist. Plus when I colored him black you couldn't see his nose and that cute little smile, so purple it was!!! :D I then layered him onto a piece of Orange CS that I stamped out of my scalloped circle punch and added some liquid glass to make his hat shiny and put him aside to dry. Next I worked on my base. It's a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of White Daisy CS folded in half. I then layered a piece of Hydrangea CS and then a piece of Mind Minds Eye Dp to the top part of my card that I got from my LSS. It's super glittery and looks way cuter IRL. To the bottom part of my card I added a piece of super glittery black polka dot dp that I absolutely had to have when I saw it and added a piece of green polka dot ribbon to pull the two together! :D Once my image was dry I pop dotted it onto my base and worked on the sentiment. This sentiment comes from the stamps my SIL got me and I thought it went perfect! I stamped Trick or Treat with Brilliance Graphite Black Ink onto White Daisy CS. I then layered it onto a piece of Hydrangea CS and added an Orange Bigger Brad and I was done! :D

Well if you're off tomorrow for the holiday, hope it's a great one! :D Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to sign up for the blog candy give away! :D

Have a Fabulous Evening!!! :D
