No Tricks Here - Just a Real Treat to Share!

Hello!  I guess I could have saved one Halloween card for you today, but they are all done and I even put away all the stamps and supplies.  So, instead ... today, I will be showing you the project I made for my friend Donna for her birthday.  I gave it to her on Saturday on her birthday and she loved it!  It is a shadowbox about friendship and I filled each cubby hole with all kinds of stuff.  I loved creating it.  It was so much fun.  I have a bunch of pics to show you.  But, let me first give you a couple of links so you can see what I started with.  (Yes, I should have taken before pics, but I didn't!)  The box is a Tim Holtz product  that you can see here, the tissue tape is also his, seen here , and the metal feet, seen here. (Note, I used Scrapbook.com for the links, but I didn't order my products online, I got them at The Crafty Scrapper, but I wanted you to have a visual.) The set of papers I used were from Bo Bunny, seen here.   Let's get to my pics.  I have close-ups of every angle and every cubby hole.  Enjoy!

Next Pics are Close-ups from Left to Right, Top to Bottom:

I used a little acrylic piece that I had at my store to hold price tags ... gotta think out of the box!

Flower & Butterfly are dies from My Favorite Things.  Tim Holtz Memo Pin holds sentiment.

Life is good was a brad embellishment and bottle has pretty glitter!

Butterfly is held in place with 10 round pop-up dots behind it!  More embellishments from my stash!

Middle sections.  The Banner is a die.  And the letters were made with Rub-Ons from Making Memories.

Close-up (even though I don't like my pic), look at the creativity of adding the photo instead!

Clear beads added to bottle, with flower and memo pin.  Friends circle was a snap embellishment.

A clipboard I cut smaller and attached to a wood block for support, a few embellishments from my stash and a music die from My Favorite Things.

Tiny Spools I added twine to, Word Beads and Mini Scrabble Letters from my stash, Butterfly die from Stampin' Up.

I made a box to put her real gift in (small set of butterfly dies from TCP).  I am thinking she can use it as a hiding spot.  Butterfly die from Stampin' Up.

I also want to note that all the sentiments I did on the computer and cut out and adhered to cardstock.  My cardstock is too thick to run thru my printer so this is how I do it.  I have to check who makes that banner die, as where I got it escapes me right now.  I will check and let you know.  I hope you enjoyed all the pics!  I would love to hear from you, so add a comment and let me know what you think!

I will be back in a day or two with my next class share.  See you then!

Happy Stamping!

Saturday's Sketch Share!

Hello!  I am back today with three cards from Debbie, Donna, & I for this week's share.  Let's get right to it!  I will show you my card, Debbie's card, Donna's card and the sketch.  Enjoy!

My Card

Debbie's Card
Donna's Card
The Sketch


I just want to say that I think this sketch was a hard one.  I actually did it for a challenge when it first came out.  And I wasn't all that crazy about then and I don't think I have changed my mind this time around.  However, I do think that all three cards are a good interpretation of the sketch.  What do you think?

Remember the project I told you about earlier in the month that I was making for a friend?  Well, that friend is Donna and I will be giving her gift to her today for her birthday, so that means, that early next week, I will be back to show you a bunch of pics of what I made.  So, look for that post!  Until then, I hope you have a Happy Halloween weekend.  We are doing a haunted hayride tonight put on by our local volunteer fire department.  We did it last year, and it was a lot of fun.  Not too scary, which is good for me.  As, being scared is not something I enjoy!  On another note, I want to say we are saddened by our Texas Rangers losing in the last game of the World Series, but I for one, still love them, and am grateful for the great year we had!  Have a great weekend!

Happy Stamping!

Halloween ...2 More!

Hello!  I  have two more Halloween cards for you today.  Both were made for specific people in mind.  The first one I made for a friend that I have known for almost 40 years ... that makes me feel old ... anyway, she loves the vintage look and a while back I picked up a paper that had this little scene on it of vintage Halloween kids, thinking maybe I could create a card with it.  I didn't quite know what to put with it, so I ended up just using it as a printed panel, and then added my Halloween part to it.  Let me show you so you can see what I mean ... enjoy!


It's kinda different, but I actually like it!  The stars on the panel were a perfect place to add some ghosts.  What do you think?

The second one I am going to give to my hubby.  I have this 6 x 6 pack of Halloween paper from Best Creation, and in it was these two decorated big round scallop circles that I originally thought about making into a big round card, but I decided it wasn't heavy enough cardstock to really make it work, and in my creating process, I got an idea and cut it in half, immediately realizing that if the new idea didn't work, the original idea was now gone forever.  So, guess what?  I made the new idea work!  The circle cut in half was too large so I cut it down more and ended up using two halfs on a square card.  Adding my little vampire stamp with a sentiment on his cape and we are happy.  Let me show and you can be the judge!  Enjoy!

 


What do you think?  I like it, square card and all!  Inside, I used the sentiment "Boo-Frickety-Hoo" and added under it "I-Love-You"!  It rhymes!  Fun!

Recipe Card #1:

Paper:  Vintage panel by Jenni Bowlin Studio Halloween 2011 Mini Pattern Sheet, Orange Dot by The Girls Paperie (my stash), Cardstock White, Black
Stamps - Sentiment by Rubbernecker
Ink - Versafine Black
Tools - Halloween die by Cuttlebug, Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Circle, Classic Circle, Martha Stewart iron gate border punch
Other - Gelly Roll Glitter pen, Ribbon by May Arts, Black Pearls by Queen & Co.

Recipe Card #2:

Paper - Best Creations Inc. 6 x 6 Paper pack, Black Spider paper by unknown from my stash, Cardstock White, Black
Stamps - Vampire Dude and Sentiment from Rubbernecker
Ink  - Memento Black, Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol, Copic for skin
Tools - Spellbinders Classic Circle
Other - Ribbon by May Arts, Rhinestones, Gelly Roll Glitter pen

Tomorrow I will have my last Halloween card to show you for the Saturday Sketch share.  I have to say that I have totally enjoyed making all these fun Halloween cards!  And, I don't need to buy anymore Halloween paper next year ... yea, sure ... you know that will happen! 

Happy Stamping!

Witchly Wishes ... #2!

Hello!  I have been busy in my room this week working on more Halloween cards and my class samples!  I realized that I have not done a card for the Sketch For You To Try for the month.  Remember, this challenge is a year one, where you must complete a sketch for every month of the year.  I have done all the months so far, so I don't want to stop now with only this month and two more to go!  The sketch had a vertical rectangle panel, so I decided I would just stamp my cute witch again, as I really wanted to do another card with her anyway!  Hence, #2 in the title of my post today!  So, let's get to it.  First I will show you my card.  And then the sketch.  Enjoy!



At first glance, I thought this sketch was kinda boring.  But, after seeing it put together in a real card, I like it.  It's definitely a go to sketch for when you need a simple one.  What do you think?

Recipe:

Paper - Recollections paper pack, Cardstock White, Orange, Black
Stamps - Witch from Recollections set, Sentiment from Rubbernecker
Ink - Memento Black, Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol, Copic for skin
Tools - Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Circles, Classic Circles, Martha Stewart border punch (don't know the name ... wrought iron? got it at Ross a while back ... bargain!)
Other - Boo Ribbon from old stash (sorry, can't remember who it is from), Baubles from Stamping Bella (only had 2 orange ones, but I kinda like the yellow in the middle!)

I will have two more cards to show you tomorrow ... Halloween, of course.  And then the last one on Saturday for the share.  See you tomorrow!

Happy Stamping!

Saturday's Sketch Share!

Hello!  Well, this is one of the week's that the choice is for a square card or a round card.  I almost always do a round card.  But, not this time!  This time I went with the square choice.  My card was made to send to Debbie for two reasons, one for the share, and second because yesterday was Debbie's actual birthday.   Worked out great for me, as one card served two purposes.  Debbie was also getting into the birthday spirit, as she also made hers with a birthday theme.   So, let's get to our birthday cards for the week.  I will show you mine, Debbie's, and the sketch.  Enjoy!


My Card Front

My Card Inside

Debbie's Card

The Sketches
I just had to show you the inside of mine, since the sentiments were so fun!  I hope Debbie liked her card, even though it's a little more on the cutesy side than she usually does for her cards.  It just that when I saw the sketch, I immediately thought of the monkey square, so I went with it!  I love the size of Debbie's square card ... great idea!  What do you think of this week's share?

I should be back next week, with more creations for you.  Have a great weekend!

Happy Stamping!

It's Time For A Little Brewhaha!

Hello!  I have another Halloween card for you today.  The inspiration for most of my Halloween cards this year has come from the two Halloween stamp sets I got back in the summer at the Rubbernecker booth.  You have seen many fun sentiments, and today's sentiment is no exception!  Yes, it is true, most times you start with an image stamp, and then find a sentiment to match.  But, this time it was just the opposite, as I love the brewhaha stamp, and found an image of a cauldron to go with it!  Here is my card ... enjoy!



I have to say one of the things I like about not having a store anymore, is that I can combine stamps from different companies and put them on the same card!  When I had the store, I never did that.  Each card was made to promote a specific company.  My card today has stamps from three different companies!  Fun, fun, fun!  What do you think?  Do you like my little brewhaha card?

Recipe:

Paper - Background Paper from $1 Target -from stash from last year, Dots from Reminisce, Cardstock White, Orange, Black
Stamps - Cauldron from Inky Antics Halloween Honey Pop set, Swirls from My Favorite Things (Halloween girlfriends set), Sentiment from Rubbernecker
Ink - Versamark, Judikins Black Detail embossing powder, Memento Black (sentiment), Gelly Roll glitter pen
Tools - Spellbinders Classic Circles & Scalloped Circles
Other - Dot Sparkler Stickers from Stampendous, Orange Baubles from Stamping Bella

I will be back tomorrow with the Saturday Sketch Share.  Today is Debbie's birthday!  So, this week, we both made birthday cards to show you!  See you then!

Happy Stamping!

Trick or Treat!

Hello!  I know you are thinking ... where is she?  Sorry, I forgot I had not written my post and set it up to automatically post with today's card.  Duh!  So, it is now the afternoon, instead of the morning, but I still have a card to show you.  Here it is ...enjoy!

 


I had colored this little pumpkin girl about a month ago, but had not added it to a card.  I know Donna used the same stamp on one of the Saturday sketch shares, and I wanted to do a card with her too!  I used that fence die again.  It just perfect for Halloween cards.  I kinda like the the card.  What do you think? 

Recipe:

Paper - $1 Target pack from my stash, Cardstock White, Orange, Black, Lime Green
Stamps - Pumpkin Girl from Rubbernecker, Sentiment by Recollections (a clear set I got at Michaels)
Ink - Versafine Black, Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol
Tools - Fence die by Taylored Expressions, Spellbinders Classic Circle & Lacey Circle
Other - Button by Doodlebug Designs, Ribbon, Linen Thread by The Cat's Pajamas, Pearls by Queen & Co.

See you tomorrow!

Boo-Frickity-Hoo!

Hello!  I am back today with two of the four Halloween cards I made last weekend.  I am happy I finally got this idea on to a card, as it is one that has been in my head for a while.  A few weeks ago, on one of my hubby and my outings to Tyler, (it is a little less than an hour from here, but it is a town that has lots of chain stores and a mall ... wow!  Remember, I am out in the country!)  I went in Marshalls and I found a Martha Stewart punch and stamp set of little tombstones ($3.99 ... a deal!) and I immediately thought of the fence die I have and thought together it would make a cute little Halloween scene.  Here is my card.  Enjoy!


The paper had the spooky tree printed on it, so I used it as my background.  I added the cat, making it look like she is sitting on the fence.  And, of course, every scene needs a ghost!  Especially, it you have a fun sentiment like Boo-Frickity-Hoo to use!  It came out pretty cute!  What do you think?

Recipe:

Paper - Dots is from a pack of paper I got at Michaels (it said Recollections on it), Purple with Tree paper from Best Creation Inc. Happy Haunting 6 x 6 glitter paper pad, Cardstock White, Black
Stamps - Ghost and Sentiment from Rubbernecker, Tombstones from Martha Stewart, Cat from Studio G ($1 stamp I got at Walmart)
Ink - Versamark Black
Tools - Fence die from Taylored Expressions, Martha Stewart Tombstone punch
Other - Ribbon by May Arts, Rhinestones by Queen & Co.

I am off today to teach my Christmas card class at The Crafty Scrapper.  But tomorrow, you will see me again with not a Christmas card, but another Halloween card!  See you then!

Happy Stamping!

No Bones About It ...

Hello!  I am happy to say that I did get some more Halloween cards made on Saturday.  Inspiration is such a funny thing, though.  You see, I was out in my shack right after lunch, and no inspiration.  I just sat and stared at my stamps for quite a while.  And when does the inspiration come?  Oh, about 2 hours before I wanted to come in to see the Ranger playoff game.  In fact, I had to stop in the middle!  I finished two of them yesterday, so now I have four new cards you ... one for today, and three more for Wed, Thurs., and Friday!  Here is the first one ... enjoy!




I am showing you the inside because it completes my sentence of "no bones about it...".  How do you like this one?  Pretty cute, huh?  I decided to make my little skeleton do a little jig!  I have all these great Halloween sentiment stamps, but not the bones one, so I stamped it out with one of my old alphabet sets.  I think it came out pretty good.  And, then I just had to add those googly eyes ... what a hoot!
Oh, and does the sketch look familiar?  It is one of the ones from the Saturday Sketch days, Mojo 139.  You can see that post
here.

Recipe:

Paper - From a $1 Target pack I got last year, Cardstock Line Green, Black, White
Stamps - Skeleton and inside sentiments from Rubbernecker, No bones sentiment from alphabet set from Hero Arts
Ink - Versamark Black, Grey Tombow marker (just to highlight bones)
Tools - Spellbinders Labels 8, Cuttlebug Seeing Spots embossing folder
Other - Twine by The Twinery, Button, Ribbon, Googly Eyes, Pearls by Queen & Co.

See you tomorrow.
Happy Stamping!

Saturday's Sketch Share!

Hello!  I am back today with the sketch share with our participants, Debbie, Donna, and I.  This week's sketch was a fun one but it was a little busy, as they were many elements on the one small space and that is why, I think, Donna changed hers to a square card, and Debbie used her creative license to change hers up a bit. So, let's get to it, so you can see what you think.  I will be showing you my card, Debbie's card, Donna's card and the sketch.  Enjoy!
My Card
Debbie's Card

Donna's Card


The Sketch
 That is it for me today.  I am working on some more Halloween creations, and hope to get them done so I can show them to you next week, as next week will be a busy one for me because it is the week I will be preparing my class kits and teaching at The Crafty Scrapper. 

Have a great weekend!  And GO RANGERS! (Just had to sneak that in!)

Happy Stamping!

Got Pink, Dorothy?

Hello!  Warning, my card today has lots and lots of PINK!  Today is my mom's 96th birthday!  And, she loves pink.  I realize I could have just given her any card in my stash and she would not have known.  But, sometimes, I feel that my cards are like a gift from my heart, so I decided to make one just for her.  It is pink, but there is a lot of details too!  Let me show you ... enjoy!
 


I decided to make this one an easel card, so she could leave it out on her table.  See all the detail?  There is a lot of stuff she can take apart!  She has disassembled cards I have given her in the past.  But, I think that might not happen now, as she doesn't get up and around without help now.  She has been having a lot of confusion, as her Alzheimer's has definitely advanced.  Every time I go to the nursing home, I have my fingers crossed that it will be a day that she knows me.  But, it is hard, as conversations are less and less.  That is why I think she deserves a pretty card and the pretty pink flowers I will be picking up at the florist on my way!  Happy Birthday, Dorothy, aka my Mom!

Recipe:
Paper - My Minds Eye Lost and Found Two Blush 6 x 6 pad, Cardstock Pink
Stamps - My Favorite Things Crazy for Daisies PI (I don't know if you happen to notice, but the flowers she holds on the stamp are taller, I made the daisy bunch smaller ... accidentally cut too close, when I was trimming ... but for this layout, I think I like the bunch smaller ... can we say, happy mistake?), Birthday sentiment on easel by Printworks
Ink - Versafine Black, Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol, Copic for facial
Tools - Marvy Corner Rounder, My Favorite Things Die-namics Double Scallop Border, Upsy Daisy die set
Other - Rhinestones by Queen & Co., small pearl for dress, Grosgrain Ribbon

Happy Stamping!

Just a Little Halloween Humor ...

Hello!  I am back today with another Halloween card, this one with a little Halloween humor.  The two sets of Halloween stamps from Rubbernecker that I got at the last convention, had the funniest sentiment stamps included.  In fact, that is pretty much what sold me on the sets.  So, let me show you my silly card ... enjoy!


Can you see the sentiment ... "Everything was fine til that house fell on my sister." ? Oh my ... that just makes me laugh.  I had a few different house stamps but I didn't like how they looked with the feet and the other problem was they really were not the right proportion.  So, I decided I would just create "the look" of a house with some cardstock.  But then, there was all this white space open and that is when I decided to start adding embellishments.  Even after I thought it was all done, I decided it need one more thing ... the glittered bat!  I will have to figure out who should get the card for Halloween, as it will definitely need to be someone with a sense of humor.  What do you think of my card? 

Recipe:

Paper - Stripes from Recollections Halloween pack, Cardstock White, Orange, Black
Stamps - Witches shoes from Recollections set (in this set, the feet were in the middle of a sentiment that said something about smell my feet, but I only wanted the feet, so I cut it apart ... Tina Tip: don't be afraid to do surgery on your stamps to make them work for you!), Sentiment from Rubbernecker
Ink - Versafine Black, Prismacolor Pencils
Tools - Spellbinders Labels 8, Marvy Corner Rounder, Cuttlebug Halloween die
Other - Twine by The Twinery, Button, Rhinestones by Queen & Co., Black glitter by Doodlebug

See you tomorrow!
Happy Stamping!

Count Your Life by ...

Hello!  I will have a couple more Halloween cards for you this week, but I will also be sneaking in a couple of birthday cards too!  And, a birthday card is what I have to show you today.  This one I made for a friend and she got it last week, so it is safe to show you!  Here it is ... enjoy!

This is a past sketch from one of the VLV challenges.  You can see the original sketch here.  I haven't been participating in the challenges for a while now, but that doesn't mean I can't use their sketches to create wonderful cards, like this one!  I love all the papers together, don't you?

Recipe:

Paper - Crate Paper Farmhouse 6 x 6 pad, Cardstock White, Orange
Stamps - Unknown (it is an unmounted stamp I got at one the conventions)
Ink - Versafine Black
Tools - Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Circle, Classic Circle, MFT Die-namics Butterfly trio, Upsy Daisy set, and Dainty Dots Border
Other - Pearls by Queen & Co., Rhinestones

I will be back tomorrow with a Halloween card creation.  See you then!
Happy Stamping!

Saturday's Sketch Share!

Hello!  I am back today with another share between Debbie and I.  I really thought this was a fun sketch, and I hope you will enjoy our two looks!  I will show you my card, Debbie's card and then the sketch we both used to create our cards.  Enjoy!


My Card

Debbie's Card
  
The Sketch
I am hoping to work on some more Halloween card creations for you and I am also working on a creative project for my friend, Donna, who participates in our Saturday shares, every other week.  She is having a birthday later this month.  I can't give you any more hints about the project, as she looks at my blog.  I already let it out of the bag, that I am making her something .. that is enough!   So, I will back next week with more card creations.  Have a great weekend!  (Go Rangers! ... Just had to slip that one in!)

Happy Stamping!

Happy Boo To You!

Hello!  I am back today with another Halloween card with a stamp from the same set I used yesterday.  I had colored this little vampire guy a couple of weeks ago, so I figured it was time to get him added to a card!  Let me show you.  Enjoy!



The inside of his cape, I had already colored red, but when it came down to picking out papers to got with him, my choices for anything with red became very limited.  This Halloween paper with the words had a touch of red and so that is the one I went with.  I originally was thinking the pinking circle behind him would be red, but it just did not pop, so I went back to the purple.  I like the colors I end up using.  I think it works!  Do you like how I tucked the little sentiment in under his scull pail?  And how about those scull dies at the bottom?  Fun, huh?  I went with a Mojo sketch from 2009.  I think it is #69.  Here is the inside of my card ...




When I pulled out my Halloween papers, I found a bunch of these borders that I had punched out last year from a friend's punch.  I thought it would be perfect for the inside of the card.  I used to never put any papers at the bottom of the insides, thinking that you have to leave that area open for signing, but I am really liking this look.  And there is still plenty of room to sign!  What do you think?

Recipe:

Paper - Green stripe by Bo Bunny Whoo-ligans line, Words from same line called Grrrr, Cardstock Black White, Purple
Stamps- Recollections set, Sentiments from Rubbernecker
Ink - Versafine Black, Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol
Tools - Spellbinders Classic Circles, Pinking Circles, Cuttlebug Halloween die, Marthat Stewart graveyard border punch
Other - Dots by Unknown

Happy Stamping!

P.S.  Congratulations to our Texas Rangers for winning the first playoff series!  Woo Hoo!

Witchly Wishes!

Hello!  As promised, I am here today with the first of many Halloween cards for the month!  I got the cutest set of Halloween images at one of the chain stores recently.  So, to start us off, I am using the witch from the set.  Don't be surprised if you see her again, as this is one adorable stamp of a witch.  Here is my card.  Enjoy!



My card is a pretty simple layout but I played around with a bunch of different ideas, and this is the one I finally went with.  I like how it turned out.  What do you think?

Recipe:

Paper - Orange dot is the backside of Imaginisce Happy Camper (this is not a Halloween paper, but the orange dot was perfect ... tina tip: remember to look on the backside of all your papers when looking for certain colors!), Green writing is a set from Recollections (got it at Michaels), Cardstock White, Orange, Purple
Stamps - Recollections (also, got it at Michaels. Curious question from me: Is Michaels still making stuff under the Recollections name even though they have closed all their Recollections stores, or is this something that was left from when they still had their Recollections stores?), Sentiment is from Rubbernecker
Ink - Versafine Black, Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol
Tools - Spellbinders Circles
Other - Button, Twine from The Twinery, Orange Ribbon - unknown (was sent to me in a package from The Crafty Scrapper ... obviously they sell it ... and I want some more of it!  I will let you know who it's from when I find out!)

I hope to be back tomorrow with another card.
Happy Stamping!

Class Creations Share!

Hello!  On Saturday, I said I would be back with some Halloween cards to share, and I promise I will  get to that this week.  But, first, I thought I would share the cards I will be teaching in a couple of weeks at The Crafty Scapper.  She got in some new products from Hero Arts including some stamp and die sets, and stamps with a matching embossing folder.  You can see the new product on the Hero Arts site here.  (when the page comes up, scroll down to where they show all the sets.)  I loved a couple of the stamp & emboss sets that were for Christmas.  And even though, she did not order the Christmas sets in the stamp and die sets, I used one of the sets called Frames with Sprigs and created Christmas cards anyway.  Yes, I know what you are thinking ... Christmas?  But, you have to remember, if I am teaching only one class a month, I only have October and November to give some good Christmas card ideas.  December is almost too late for cards. And, I have something else in mind for my December class ... tags, which I think will be a fun idea.  But, let's get back to today's cards first!  Here are my cards.  Enjoy! 


The first card reflects more of my typical type card, but I did use the stamp and emboss combo on the holly background, as well as using the dies with pattern papers.  The second card, also uses the stamp and emboss combo.  I think if you click on it, you will be able to see the stamped and embossed paper.  On this one, I also used the stamp and die cut set.  But, because the die cut set I am using is not actually a Christmas stamp, I punched out the snowflakes to cover the little flower on the stamp.  I also did a little "covering" in the third card with the trees!  By the way, they call the second card a Tent Topper card.  And the third card has a very unique opening, as only the left side of the card opens.  I love learning and teaching different types of cards .. so fun!  I hope you enjoyed my share and if you are interested in coming to the class, just call The Crafty Scrapper to sign up.  Here are the details:

Chistmas Head-Start with Hero Arts $25 Wed. October October 19th 11:00 a.m OR Fri. October 21st 7:00 p.m. 
Come get creative with brand new products from Hero Arts. We will be using two of the of the new stamp and emboss sets and one of the stamp and die cut sets, to complete three very creative cards, including a tent topper card and a card with a unique opening. Please bring adhesive, small pop-up dots, detailed scissors, and your preferred coloring medium (Copics, colored pencils, etc.) All other supplies provided.

Hopefully, I will be back tomorrow with a cute Halloween card!
Happy Stamping!

Saturday's Sketch Share!

Hello!  I am back today with Saturday's share.  Remember every other week, my friend, Donna participates, which is so fun because you get to see not two, but three cards using the same sketch.  So many great ideas!  Let's get to it.  I will be showing you my card, Donna's card, Debbie's card, and the sketch we all used.  Enjoy!
My Card
Donna's Card
Debbie's Card

The Sketch



 

Oh, how different all our ideas were for this one!  I have actually done this sketch before, and I loved it the first time, and I still do.  I was worried that the rose on my card would totally get smooched in transit, but I was happy to hear it survived!  Donna has the right idea ... it is time to kick-off Halloween cards!  Thanks Donna for the push!  Look for Halloween cards from me next week!  Enjoy the weekend!

Happy Stamping!
