Good morning, Friends and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! How fun that Halloween lands on Thursday! The same day as the Create with Connie and Mary weekly challenge! This week we have a sketch to play with! Take a look!

And my card...

I love the banners! It was a great way to use up some of those designer paper scraps that we all seem to have! Here are the details:

• Card base is Very Vanilla cut at 4 1/4" x 11" and folded in half
• Layer of Very Vanilla cut at 4" x 5 1/4"
• Strips of designer paper were cut and flagged at the bottom and then adhered to Very Vanilla layer
• Stamp greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes in black StazOn and add two mini brads then adhere layer to card base using dimensionals
• Adhere a strip of Basic Black card stock along the top of banners
• Use the 1 3/8" circle punch to punch a circle from Summer Starfruit and sponge edges with Summer Starfruit ink then adhere to card with dimensionals
• Stamp bat image from Halloween Hello using black StazOn ink onto Very Vanilla, cut out and adhere him to card with dimensionals

A pretty simple card! I hope your Halloween is safe and FUN!

Washi Bats

Good morning, Friends! I hope your week is off to a great start! I woke up this morning to hear the sound of rain! And the wind is blowing, too. So glad that I now have a garage! I won't have to walk outside in this to my car to take Nick to school! Would have been a great day to sleep in but no such luck this time. I do get my hair cut and colored today - yea!! And Nick has a basketball game this afternoon. Looking forward to that!

Today's card was inspired as I was surfing through Pinterest. I think the other card used stamps for the background but I thought that washi tape would be really cute! Here are the details:

• Card base is Very Vanilla
• Layer of Very Vanilla
• Adhere three strips of Witch's Brew washi tape to Very Vanilla layer and then pop up onto card base
• Layer of Basic Grey
• Sponge layer with Basic Grey ink
• Stamp greeting from Halloween Hello in black StazOn onto layer
• Tie a piece of Basic Black 1/8" taffeta around layer and pop up onto card
• Stamp bat image from Halloween Hello onto Very Vanilla in black StazOn, cut out and pop up onto card

Super simple! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

It's a pretty clean and simple sketch! Love it! Here's what I created!

Good morning, Friends! It's Friday!! Woohoo! The Sketch Frenzy Friday team has a new sketch challenge this week! Jennifer Weide has provided this week's sketch! Check it out!

LOTS of possibilities with this one! Sometimes I get so overwhelmed with all the ideas I have going on so I settled on something very simple. 

I thought this sketch would be great fun to show off the wonderful designs of the designer paper! And this sketch would be perfect for any of them! But I chose paper that had coordinating washi tape as I thought that would be perfect for the borders. Here are the details:

• Card base is Very Vanilla
• On a layer of Very Vanilla adhere a piece of Witch's Brew designer paper and then two strips of the Witch's Brew washi tape
• Pop panel up onto card base
• Use the 2 3/8" scallop circle punch to punch a scallop circle from Basic Black card stock (I put the scallop back into the punch, turned it and punched it again to get the points)
• Punch a circle from silver glimmer paper using the 1 3/4" circle punch and adhere to scallop circle then pop up onto card
• Punch a circle from Pumpkin Pie using the 1 3/8" circle punch
• Stamp the skull image from the Halloween Hello set onto the circle with Pumpkin Pie and then the greeting in black StazOn then pop up onto card
• It's hard to see but I added four rhinestones to each corner of the designer paper

Very simple! And nothing to cut out! I hope you check out what the other fabulous designers did with this sketch on the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog! Won't you play along with us this week? We love to see what you come up with! Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

Card Recipe: Stamps- Halloween Hello; Paper- Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, silver glimmer paper, Witch's Brew designer paper; Ink- black StazOn, Pumpkin Pie; Accessories- Witch's Brew washi tape, 2 3/8" scallop circle punch, 1 3/4" circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, rhinestones, dimensionals

Good morning, Friends! It was kind of hard getting back into the routine yesterday. I really enjoyed the days off as I know Nick did, too! We made it through and now we are already half way through the week! Sweet! I had to buy a new iron yesterday as mine broke. No, I don't use it for clothes - lol! I use it for my stitching and sewing! And boy oh boy do I need to update my sewing blog! Geesh! It's been a whole year! And I have stuff to share! What's my deal? I will try to work on that this week.

Today's card was inspired by the sketch at Retro Sketches. Here are the card details:

• Card base is Very Vanilla
• Layer a piece of Witch's Brew designer paper to a piece of Summer Starfruit to a piece of Basic Black
• Pop panel up onto card
• Adhere a piece of Witch's Brew washi tape
• On a strip of Very Vanilla, stamp greeting from Halloween Hello set then adhere to card
• On Very Vanilla, stamp the bat image three times and cut out
• The top bat is adhered with glue dots and the other two are popped up

Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Skull Tag

Good morning, Friends! Here we are starting another week! The weather has warmed up again but I can still feel a little bit of fall in the air! My husband is really wanting fall to come early - lol! He works outdoors all summer long is currently really tired of the heat. But I think we got it pretty easy this year. Looks like I will have a day to finish up some stamping projects!

Today's card is one that I did with my stamp club last week. A pretty easy one that uses the washi tape a little differently. I was experimenting with it and kind of liked how it turned out! Here are the card details:

• Card base is Very Vanilla
• On a layer of Pumpkin Pie adhere a strip of the chevron Witch's Brew washi tape and then a strip of the script Witch's Brew washi tape right over the top and then adhere a piece of the Witch's Brew designer paper just above that
• Adhere panel to a piece of Basic Black card stock and then pop up onto card
• Make a tag from Very Vanilla card stock by using the 1 3/8" circle punch to round the top portion and flag the bottom
• Stamp greeting from Halloween Hello in black StazOn and pop tag up onto card
• Stamp skull image in black StazOn onto Very Vanilla, cut out and pop up onto tag
• Use the circle punch from itty bitty shapes punch pack to punch a circle from Pumpkin Pie and adhere to tag
• Add a Basic Black candy dot to punched circle

Very easy and very mailable!

• On a layer of Very Vanilla, adhere pieces of designer paper from the Witch's Brew designer paper pack

Good morning, Friends! It seems like I am only getting around to posting my DT challenges lately. But that will soon change (I hope) as Nick will start school on Monday! Yikes!! Where did the summer go?? 

Here is this week's Create with Connie and Mary challenge.

It's a sketch this week! And a fabulous one! It did have me stumped but I liked how my card came together! Check it out!

I used some of the new product from the Holiday mini catalog and kept my card pretty simple. Here are the details:

• Card base is Very Vanilla
• For the panels I cut a piece of the Witch's Brew dsp and rounded the corner of the one panel
• Each panel is sponged with Basic Black ink and then adhered to a piece of Basic Black card stock (remember to round the one panel)
• Pop up the panels onto the card base
• Stamp sentiment from Halloween Hello in black StazOn
• Stamp bat onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla, cut out and pop up onto card
• Add a few rhinestones

Super simple! Be sure to check out the other designers' work at the Create with Connie and Mary website! I can't wait to see what you do with this sketch! Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

A Freaky Fall Swap

Good morning, Friends! Yes! It's me! I'm actually posting on a day other than a DT day! Wow!! It's been kind of crazy around here. I am hoping to be back posting again on a regular basis soon. I just haven't had the time to stamp that I normally do. When I am stamping it is for my DT commitments. Nick and I leave tomorrow for Denver so that Nick can attend a soccer camp there. And then next weekend his soccer team will be in a tournament in the Denver area and then a week from Monday school starts! And once he is in school, I should have more time. So that's my story - lol!

This is a card that I have had done for a while but I can just finally show you all. I had made it for a swap back in July. The swaps have been mailed and received so I can show it off now. The swap was a fall/Halloween theme. I just love this Halloween set from the new Holiday mini catalog! Here are the card details:

• Card base is Basic Black
• Layer of Basic Grey with strips of Witch's Brew washi tape
• Strip of Summer Starfruit with bottom flagged adhered to panel then layer of Witch's Brew designer paper adhered
• Pop this panel up onto card
• Punch Basic Black card stock with 2 3/8" scallop circle punch twice to create the points and pop up onto card
• Stamp greeting from Halloween Hello in black StazOn onto strip of Whisper White, flag end and adhere other end to scallop circle
• From Basic Grey, punch a circle with 1 3/4" circle punch and adhere to scallop circle
• From silver glimmer paper punch a circle using 1 3/8" circle punch and pop up onto other circle
• On Whisper White stamp skull image with black StazOn, cut out and pop up onto card
• Add two rhinestones in top right hand corner of Basic Grey panel

I thought this was a really fun card! Lots of great new products were used!! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Holiday Mini Sneak Peek

Good morning, Friends! I thought we might have a good storm here last night but I think we got more thunder and lightning and wind than any thing else. I think it rained more in town than out at our place. Bummer. Nick spent the night at a friend's house and they are supposed to be coming here later today to spend the night. I guess I might want to get Nick's stuff picked up!! I keep telling myself that one day he will know how to do that? Lol!! And I still need to get some stamping done! Don't know how much time I will have for that...

Today's card was created to show off some of the new products from the Holiday Mini catalog. This will be available to the public starting August 1. Demonstrators got to pre-order to get some samples ready and to tease our customers. I am in a swap where fall and Halloween are the theme and this was one I was trying out. It didn't end up as the swap card but just a sample. Here are the card details:

• Card base is Very Vanilla
• Layer of Very Vanilla with a strip of Witch's Brew dsp and a strip of Pumpkin Pie adhered to it - flag the bottom of both strips
• Tie a piece of Summer Starfruit stitched satin ribbon around panel and pop up onto card
• Cut label shape from Very Vanilla using Labels framelits dies
• Stamp skull image from Halloween Hello in black StazOn onto label
• Adhere a strip of Witch's Brew dsp to label then pop up onto card
• Stamp greeting onto scrap of Very Vanilla, cut around it and adhere to card
• Use Chevron punch to punch three chevrons from Summer Starfruit and adhere to label

Please note that the stamp set, Halloween Hello, the dsp, Witch's Brew, and the Chevron punch will not be available until August 1. These are super fun products and I can't wait to show you all more!! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
