I have a couple of Halloween creations to show you today, in addition to my other ice skating card!
I used stamps from the Witchie set from MFP.



Inside of these,  I stamped Happy Halloween, and I think this one would work for either gender, for kids that are a little older-even adults would like this one, I believe!

Here is the Ice Skating card now....

Does this look real to you?  It does to me.  This is from another stamp set available at MFP StampShop.

Thanks for visiting!

Sun. Oct. 25, 2015 Halloween Again

I am having a lot of fun creating Halloween cards this year.  This one makes use of stamps from the GKD set called Wicked, from 2012.

Thanks for visiting!

10-24-2015 Ready for Halloween?

This is a creation that is new, but uses stamps from the Wicked 2012 stamps from Gina K.

This is a 4.25" sq. creation that is perfect for gift giving with a bottle of wine, don't you agree?

Thank you for visiting!

Fri. 10-23-2015 Another Red and Gold Challenge

This was another card made for the STV15MON42 Red Gold Challenge at STV.
 I definitely had someone in mind to send this to, as the sentiment is just perfect.

Thanks for visiting today!

10-22-2015 Two Challenge Cards

Here are two challenge cards for STV15MON42 at StampTV. The colors we were to use were red and gold.

Thank you for taking a peek today.

10-20-2015 Halloween Challenge 284 for MFP

 
Rounded corner challenge using MFP's  Witchie stamp set from 2014.

Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2015

A fun card to share today!

 The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the GKD set called Flowers and Frames 2 set!

Thanks for visiting today.

Sat. Oct. 17, 2015 Another Friendship Card for Winter

I created this one last Thursday morning.  I really enjoyed making this one using these colors.  The image is a free one that I received from Gina K. a few years ago.

Friday, Oct. 16, 2015 A Celebration for Today

Today I am celebrating a reunion from Grammar School.  Where has the time gone?  It has been 50 years since we graduated, and about 25 to 30 of us get together to celebrate the day, every year!
It is always great to see everyone again.  That Catholic school and Church is
over a 100 years old now and still in Chicago!  I am especially proud of it, since both my Dad and his brother went there as well.  My sister did also until we moved in during her 5th grade year.
   



 I am sharing a birthday card that I made a few days ago.  Lots of white and aqua. I also used some punches that were hiding in my cabinet.  The sentiment is from the Autumn Wishes stamp set, and the CS is Gina K's.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thurs. Oct. 15, 2015 Christmas Snowflakes

I only have a stamped sentiment from Gina K. Designs on the oval.  After I inked the base with Distress ink I added the punched out snowflakes, punched with two different Martha Stewart punches, I had in my craft room. Did you see the metal flakes on the sentiment?

Wed. Oct. 14, 2015 Still a Hoot

This is another card I made using that adorable owl from the Friends Til The End stamp set from
 Gina K. Designs.  This card makes me smile bunches!

Tues., Oct. 13, 2015 Autumn Thank You

I made this one on Sunday morning, as the season change is becoming more Fall like.
Using Melanie's stamp set and a mysterious sentiment, this card came together rather quickly.  I do love that raffia stamp and the leaf stamp is gorgeous too,

Mon., Oct. 12, 2015 It's a Holiday Creation

I used a sentiment from Melanie's Triple Play Holiday stamp set. The flowers were made using my Vagabond and a Spellbinder Die.  I used a combination of Christmas colors to create this one.

 I lined the envelope with coordinating paper to tie this all together.  The card is a bit smaller than the usual A4 size, but will still use the envelope I normally use. I added some gems to the flower centers for additional bling.

Sun. Oct. 11, 2015 Masculine Birthday

I definitely have someone in mind to give this one to, and I hope it is well received! I used wood printed patterned paper as my base and added a stamp image from Gina K.'s Wild Blossoms stamp set, in Dark Chocolate GKD ink.  I heat embossed the sentiment in gold and put it on a scalloped Spellbinder oval. It is popped up on a pop dot for texture!

Thank you for stopping by today.

10-10-2015 Saturday Happy Halloween

I created this one a few days ago and wanted to post it today. Some Halloween fun using stamp sets from Gina K.

Isn't this a card that gets you in the Fall spirit?

Fri., Oct. 9, 2015 Boo Halloween Card

I made this one on Tuesday , but couldn't get it scheduled until today.  It is a CAS Halloween card, with a little fussy cutting of the pumpkins.  The stamps are from Melanie's Triple Play Holiday and so much fun to use.

Thank you for popping in today!

Thurs. Oct. 8, 2015 Embossed Floral

I used a Sissix embossing folder for the background.  I added a simple GKD  image stamped in brown and popped up on dimensional, for even more texture. A little ribbon treatment finished this creation after I sponged with Distress ink on the embossed backgrounds.

Wed. Oct.7, 2015 Muted CAS

I decided to make this one using green inks and cs, when stamping with the florals from Wild Blossoms stamp set from Gina K. Designs.  I was pleased how this came together yesterday morning, and I wanted you to see it. I added a strip from the Alison's Ribbons die.

Thank you for popping n to check out my card today!

Tues. Oct. 6, 1915 Fall Birthday Wishes

Played some yesterday and loved making this one with Fall colors and the added pumpkin.  I stamped the flowers from Wild Blossoms set and the pumpkin from Melanie's Triple Play Holiday.  The ribbon and bow in the same color family as the pumpkin tied it all together.

I appreciate you visiting!

Mon. Oct. 5, 2015 Autumn is Here

I made this card yesterday, where it is now feeling like Fall here in Wisconsin.  We will still be having a few warm days, but not this week.
This card celebrates the change in seasons here and the fact that the leaves are starting to change color.

I used the little leaf stamp from Melanie's Triple Play Holiday set.  The sentiment was from this set too.  I cut out the large leaf with my Vagabond and a Spellbinder die.  The leaf itself was sponged with different shades of Distress inks and glued to the inside of the card so it would peek through the opening on the card front!  I am happy with how this design evolved into an Autumn creation.

Thank you for stopping by.

Two Cards from New Stamp Set from Melanie 10-4-2015

This is the 1st card I made using the Triple Play Holiday stamp set, from Gina K. Designs. I made another for you to see as well.  This one for a birthday!

Melanie, this is a fabulous addition is my collection.  Decided on another Christmas card, and I admit it was a blast making this one!

Thanks for visiting today.

Friday Oct. 2, 2015 Autumn Wishes

This is a cute little square I made yesterday to post today.  I like the way it resembles water color, and this reminds me of a gorgeous tree across the lake from my house.
