Halloween Jack-O-Lanterns

Hey guys ~ This is one of the stamps that I bought at the A.C. Moore Store that is closing in our area. They had a huge bin with hundreds of stamps, mostly Halloween stamps and you could buy 10 stamps for $2.36....so I bought 10 stamps....I will probably go back to get some more in a day or two. You just cannot beat that price.

The cardstock came from Flourishes
I do not remember the color, sry :( The Halloween paper came from A.C. Moore. I used orange Angel Hair Paper (I bought this years ago on the internet) on top of the purple cardstock and then added some spider stickers and Robins Nest pebbles. I also used the Robins Nest pebbles on the jack-o-lanterns and on the DP paper. Of course the image is colored with my Copic Ciao Markers and set on the Nestabilities Ovals and the ribbon came from Flourishes also.

This was a fun card to make...of course, I think anything Halloween is fun! The weather here in Bama is just gorgeous...in the 50's and 60's and you can almost smell Halloween in the air. Hope you all enjoy and have fun and stay safe this weekend :)

Halloween House Mouse

I love all of the images from House Mouse...as probably most of you do. This one made me happy because I was able to make a Halloween card and I have been biting at the bit to get to this stamp. I bought it from Hobby Lobby in the clearance bin for just $2.15...can't beat that deal with a stick :) The cardstock came from Flourishes. The pumpkin paper from Hobby Lobby. I used Pumpkin Pie from SU using my Petite Round Nestabilities. I stamped the image with Brilliance Black Ink and colored him with my Copic Ciao Markers. Then finished him off with Stickles Glitter in orange and green. The corners were blinged with Robins Nest Pebbles.

Hope you all enjoy...Stay safe during this holiday weekend :)

Rubbernecker Baby Boy

This comes from the "Baby" set of stamps from Rubbernecker. Like I said before, I have had so many orders for baby cards and gifts that I have more to show. Although I have to admit that I wish I had more time to play with my Halloween stamps. Our local A.C. Moore store is closing and they have a bin full of Halloween stamps that I have been gathering just for Halloween cards. But I haven't had time to do them because I've been making cards for people who have ordered from me. Then, there are my friends and family who have birthdays and other events that just 'have' to be done. My, my...so little time and so much fun!!

I made this card a while back and cannot remember the cardstock colors, but I am sure they are from SU. I did use my Scor-Pal to score lines, used my Copic Ciao Markers to color, Blue Satin Ribbon from Flourishes
and Swarovski Crystal for the bow on the balloon and a Pearl from the "Pretties Kit" (SU). I also used some stickers from a pack I have had forever...the hippo and the zebra.

Hope you enjoy and have a great weekend !!!

This one is for baby

There seems to be a lot of babies being born around this time. And I have really been making Baby Cards. What fun!!! I love images of baby anything! This one comes from Rubbernecker Stamps. I just love the stuffed animals looking out the window. Sorry I do not remember what color cardstock I used. I did use my Cuttlebug Swiss Dot Folder for the background and my Square Scalloped Nestabilities. I colored with my Copic Ciao Markers and added a computer generated "Welcome Little One." The ribbon came from Hobby Lobby. You will have to click on it to get the close up deets. At any rate, this card was so fun to make and I have more Baby Cards coming soon.

Have a great rest of the weekend !!!

Image from Artful Inkables

Hey Guys ! Once again another beautiful image from Artful Inkables. This image is one of the stamps from Friendship Flowers. The "bee" is from the set called "Thought I'd Bug You." I used white cardstock and SU's Pretty In Pink Cardstock and topped that off with SU's polka dot Pretty In Pink. I used my Petite Round Nestabilities and Oval Nestabilities. The ribbon comes from Flourishes and is sheer pink. I colored with my Copic Markers and then set the rest of the card with bling using pearls and a Swarovski Crystal.

Gotta run, cause I am working today. Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

Confetti Birthday

Here is another stamp from Unity Stamps. I really love this set because the stamps are big and are perfect for scrapbooking as well as cards. I made this card a few months ago and cannot really remember the recipie...but I remember that I used all SU cardstock and paper. I used my Copic Ciao Markers and Copic Glitter Pens for coloring. For Bling I used Swarovski Crystals on the Birthday Hat and Flower Rhinestones on the side of the card. I also used my Rectangular Nesties.

Once again, I apologize for being so slow to post lately. I am sure you all have had the same thing happen to you in the past. I hope to get moving again once things settle down.

Wishing you all a great weekend and week ahead!

Confetti Birthday

Sorry that it has been so long since my last post. I have sincerely thought about backing out on posting to this blog, only because I have so much going on in my life right now that it is almost impossible to post on a regular basis. This card was made using Unity Stamps
Confetti Birthday. The papers and cardstock are from SU. I used Copic Ciao Markers to color the balloon and Copic Glitter Pens. The ribbon is basic Dot Pink. I used rhinestones to add bling. Of course my Oval Nestabilities and a computer generated Happy Birthday Norma!

Sorry this is so short, but I have to get going again. I hope all of you have a great "rest" of the weekend :)
