HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Tricker Treat Day All!


We will be leaving fall behind and moving into winter. That means holiday cards, gifts and decorations will all be in the front of our creative mind.


Before we start thinking snow and christmas trees let me showcase the last of my Halloween cards.







Have a ghoulish day everyone!

Happy Mischief Night!


George and I are invited to a Halloween party this evening and I can't go empty handed.  A bottle of wine is always nice, especially if sports a cute little costume itself. This wine tag fits right around the top of the bottle and just covers the label. Naturally this tag is spooky, but you can create a wine tag for any occasion.


See you tomorrow with some more spooky ideas!

Pat Thorpe the store owner is really excited about the classes she is offering for Howl at the Moon this year and I think you will be too!  If you've taken a class with her daughter Heather designer for AMuse before, you know you'll go home with not only fabulously creative cards, but some new handy-dandy tricks in your back pocket as well.  And Deb's classes ... well,  it's tough not to squeel about all the new things you'll learn (and how EASY they are, despite looking hard)!  Gotta' love that!
Be sure to call in advance to save your seats in class!   I look forward to seeing you there!

Behind in my Wishes


Every year I make one of the docs I work with a birthday card. He actually has all my cards I have made  over the last 10 years on display in his office! This year his birthday slipped past me and a month had gone by when I remembered. This seemed the perfect card to send to him. 


The stamps are from a relatively new company out of Canada that has a very Magenta feel to their stamps by the name of the Artful Stamper. I just love using colored pencil on kraft paper.


Needless to say my Doc loved the card and forgave me being behind in my wishes!

INSPIRATION BY GEORGE!

Sooooooo George my sweet and adorable husband got me flowers for World Card Making day! Can ya believe that?!!




They were so beautiful- soft pinks and whites with a hint of red. I used these flowers as an inspiration for a thank you card for the DH.


The envelope of flowers is a very old StampinUp stamp that I have been wanting to use forever. To add the hint of red I added some punched butterflies.


I have been trying to create more interesting insides as well and continued the soft subtle pink through the inside of the card as well.

Have a wonderful Sunday!
