Celebrating FMS 25

Good morning, Friends! Wow! Another week is upon us! And we are on the downhill side of September! I have noticed that the days are getting a lot shorter, too. Today I have to take my car in to get it serviced. It's under warranty and we want to make sure it is all in good working order for all the trips we will be making in the next few weeks for sports. But I didn't want to sit at the dealership while it was being worked on so Becky is going to come and get me and take me back to her place so we can work on some of our stitching projects while it is being worked on. Now that sounds like fun!! 

Today's card was inspired by a sketch at Freshly Made. They are celebrating their one year anniversary and have asked those that play along to pick a past sketch to use. Well that is very hard because they are all so wonderful!! In fact, yesterday's post was one of their past sketches. I just couldn't choose one! This is the card I did with my shoebox club last week. A super simple layout and it uses my favorite Halloween stamp set, Googly Ghouls! I adhered a piece of Basic Black to a card base of Lucky Limeade. Then I took a piece of Pumpkin Pie and pierced several circles on one side and tied a piece of Basic Black taffeta ribbon around the other. This is popped up onto the card. I stamped the mummy in black StazOn onto a piece of Whisper White and cut him out and popped him up on the card. Then I stamped the 'boooo' onto a piece of Whisper White in black StazOn and punched it out with the oval punch. This is adhered to the Pumpkin Pie panel. Finally, I added the gogglies (can't forget those)! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Card Recipe: Stamps- Googly Ghouls; Paper- Lucky Limeade, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White; Ink- black StazOn; Accessories- Basic Black taffeta ribbon, oval punch, paper piercing essentials pack, googlies, dimensionals
