I love all the smiling jack-o-lanterns and the bright colors on the card. And if you're wondering, these are the things I used to make this card.

SU - Pumpkin Pie & Basic Black card stock
MFT - Stitched Cover-Up Companion Vertical Die-namics

And that's it!  I hope you all have a spooky, fun, Halloween!

Until next time...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT MICKEY!

Last year, my sisters and I flew to southern Florida and visited with our cousins Linda and Dean, and their delightful mom, our Aunt Mickey, who we hadn't seen in about 50 years! We were all looking forward to getting reacquainted with them after such a long time. We had a wonderful visit and vow not to loose contact again. I made this card for my Aunt Mickey who is turning 85 in a few days. Purple is the favorite color of the birthday girl, so I wanted to make sure her card was too.
This beautiful floral image is from a set by Gina K Designs called Another Name For Love. Along with the stamp set, the following products were also used to make this birthday card.
MFT - Pierced Rectangle STAX Die-namics
Gina K Designs - Wild Lilac & Black Onyx card stock
Technique Tuesday - Find Beauty Stamp Set
Prismacolor Pencils 
Gamsol

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT MICKEY 
ENJOY YOUR SPECIAL DAY!
Until next time...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2017

I just love Halloween and Halloween cards are no exception. I really like getting them, as well as, making them! I made 2 different but similar cards this year. I didn't have enough designer paper of either, to make as many cards as I needed to have, so I made some of them both.


Here are the products I used to make these Halloween cards...
SU - Haunts & Howls stamp set
MFT - In & Out Stitched Rounded Square STAX Die-namics
Recollections - Haunted Manor DP
SU - Basic Black card stock
SU - Creamy Caramel ink (applied with a dauber)
Martha Stewart Bat Punch
Black Fibers
Black Magic Mesh

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Until next time...

THINKING OF YOU

I love the colors of Autumn so this card was a fun one for me to make!  The cute image is by Fred She Said who was one of the sponsors for the Aloha Challenge #105 over at Kitty Bee Designs in October. I picked this image thinking it was perfect for making an Autumn card.  I made it for the Happy Mail swap over at Card Camp. It's for Nancy, I hope she likes it.
There are a few variations of this digital image but I wanted it to stay on the simpler side which Nancy likes. Here's what it took to make her card.
Fred She Said Digital Image - Girl Raking
MFT - Pierced Rectangle STAX Die-namics
MFT - Blueprints 27 Die-namics
Bo Bunny - DP Harvest Plaid
SU - Craft, Old Olive, Ruby Red, More Mustard card stock
Copics - Various colors
Emagination - Maple Leaf Punch
SU - dimensionals
Judikins - Color Duster

Until next time...

YOU MAKE MY TAIL WAG

The first Sunday of each month is when I  post my spotlight card for Kitty Bee Designs. I chose a cute little dog image of Kitty Bee Designs called iHeart You that is available in the Etsy store.
I know I had a piece of designer paper with paw prints on it but wasn't able to find it when I went searching for it, so I decided to make my own using MFT's Staggered Paw Prints stencil, a sponge dauber and some Tea Dye distress ink from Tim Holtz. Here are the other products that were used to make the card.

MFT - Pet Accents Die-namics
SU - Chocolate Chip & Ruby Red card stock
Copics - various colors
Making Memories Sticky Squares to raise the center circle up on the card
MFT - You Make My Tail Wag sentiment

Until next time...
