Thank you again Jeni for your wonderful prize :)

My image this week is from Jeni of D'Amour Allure and is called Christmas Puppy with stocking and you can find it here. This is such a darling image and so easy to color. I just used some chalks on the puppy and my pencils on the stocking. I embossed my card stock with the snowflake cuddlebug folder. I stitched all the panels and mounted these snowflakes from my stash to round out the card. Thanks for stopping by today.

Thought I would share with you this incredible piece of Halloween decorating with you.
OK, so every year I have gone to Halloween Horror Nights with my Son. In 2008 they had what they called the "Evil Pumpkin Pathway". I have not been able to get this image out of my mind!This is just what it looked like in the trees, but there were pumpkins on the ground as well. You would not believe how unbelievably beautiful this was at night. My goal is to someday have enough pumpkins to recreate this in my back yard. It was so enchanting!

Handmade Thanksgiving Turkey Card

Hi Friends and Bloggers. Can you believe this is the first ever Thanksgiving Card I have made. I usually don't make Thanksgiving Cards, but I thought since I had this very cute Turkey Sticker and the Thanksgiving Sentiment that I would play with it.

Since this card was so easy peasy to put together. I thought I would try making a custom box and belly band. I was so easy to do and I really like that you can see the card through the acetate window instead of covering up all the beauty in an envelope. This box went together so easy.

Here is how the card fits in the box. I made the belly band to fit around it and used some pretty fall stickers that came with the Turkey.
This is the card all boxed up and ready for gift giving. If you are interested in the measurements and how I did this, just leave a comment and I will put a little tutorial here. I promise it is so easy! You will love it!

Fred She Said-Halloween Rosey Shaker Card

It has been raining here in Georgia today with Tropical Store Norma coming through. I love rainy days. I put on a pot of Peach Mango Tea and sit in my craft room and listen and watch the rain. I don't get out of my PJ's....it is my excuse-it's raining and I am going nowhere and I am crafting!!! I hope it rains tomorrow!!!! lol
Let me introduce you to Halloween Rosey from the Fred She Said Collection. You can find her in the store here. Isn't she cute and she is a shaker card that I made from the plastic insert your "tacky tape" comes in. Talk about being frugal-I love that plastic and am so happy I found a use for it. This is a picture of the card with the envelope I created from the "priscillastyles" 6 x 6 envelope kit found here.
On the inside I decorated with more Rosey images. I inked the edges in purple. I used the Martha Stewart Spider Web PATP. The rhinestone pumpkins are from Mickey's. This is how my card fits in the envelope. I am actually using the back like the front because I just think it is so pretty with all the stitching, I want i to show! Thanks so much for stopping in. I am having so much fun making fall and Halloween Card. Tomorrow is the Fred She Said Blog Hop-so please stop by for more Seasonal card.

Hi Blogging Buddies! It is still in the 90's here in Georgia but in my heart the leaves are changing and I am dreaming of cooler weather. This week I have used the Flowering Tree image from "priscillastyles" store found here. I cut my image out as I wanted to create a fall scene with the fence and the pumpkin in the grass. Hope you have enjoyed viewing this card and that you will join us this week in the sketch challenge. Hope to be visiting you soon!!!

Fred She Said - Fall Flower Collection Aster

Greetings Bloggers! Today is the day to play with some Fred She Said Fall Flowers. This is the Aster from the Fall Flower Collection at the Fred She Said Store here. I just love this digital flower set. There is a Sunflower, Black Eyed Susan, Chrysanthemum, and this Aster. What a lovely set of cards you could make with those for a wonderful gift!Here you can see that I printed out the image 3 times. I cut one with the oval spellbinders then layered one whole cut floral on top. I then cut out the biggest flower and popped that as well for dimension. My favorite embellishment was used on the flowers....."stickles"!!! lolI used the cuttlebug thin stripped embossing folder for the sides and placed some pearls in the center of the flowers.

This is a picture of the card and envelope together that I made. This was such a fun card to make. I loved the blue and white together. This is about as close to Clean and Simple that I have come to a card in a long time. Hope you have enjoyed viewing this creation!Challenges Entered

MMSC70- Chandelier Goes Spooky!

Greetings Bloggers and welcome to another week of the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. Well, I know you have seen "priscillastyles" chandelier image before created by some of the most talented card crafters on the internet, but have you ever seen it spooked out like this...lol Isn't this just too darn cute! I invite you to check out this Chandelier Image here and get cracking on some Halloween cards. This image is so versatile you can use it year round!

Wow, only a few more days before we set sail on the Midnight Madness On the High Seas Cruise. It's sure going to be fun creating projects with friends and meeting in person some of the people I have been chatting with on the phone and internet for the last year!!!

I have been busily preparing kits for the projects we are going to do on the trip. Besides all the activities on the boat and the shore excursions, we are going to be busy!!! I might have to show the girls how to do the Cupid Shuffle and the Mississippi Slide while we are at it at the deck parties..lol




As you can see by this picture that I added some spiders to this "priscillastyles" image. I knew those $1 stamps I get a JoAnn's and Micheal's would come in handy!!! This was from last years $1 collection. It also had the matching long spider. The web corners were from a different set. I also had a swirl leave $1 set that I stamped the background pieces.

I got the chipboard black glitter spider and bat pieces at Micheal's. There was a package of varying sizes and shapes for $99

I added my own rhinestone eyes. The "Boo" sentiment was also at Micheal's for $1. And one last thing, the rhinestones came from the Micheal's $1 bins!!!
Here is the Card and Envelope together! I hope you enjoyed viewing my spooky Halloween Card. I invite you to take a look at some great digi's at the "priscillastyles" Store! Thanks for stopping by.
