Dazzling Googly Ghosts & Blog Candy Winner

Hi Stampin’ Friends It’s like I just discovered Halloween!  I usually don’t make too many Halloween cards, but I have another one for you today! The ghosts were made with the Owl Punch.  I’ve seen this idea several places in blogland.  Punch out the owls, snipped off the legs and turned them upside down.  And Voila! you have ghosts. I added Dazzling Diamonds to give them sparkle.  I don’t think you can see… Read More »

Last day for Blog Candy Last day for September Virtual Club Hi Stampin' Friends I wanted to make a simple yet elegant card for today's post.  The butterflies had been laying around my craft table for a couple of days left over from a previous project, so I decided they would be perfect for today's simple card.  The butterflies are Vellum Card Stock over Pink Pirouette Card Stock.  They were die cut and embossed… Read More »

It’s Blog Candy Time

Hi Stampin' Friends My granddaughter, Rachel, is only six and she's hooked on minecraft!  Anybody familiar with this game? I think she's left us already for the computer!  Now, when she comes over, the first things she does is open up her computer and starts to play minecraft! I bought the stamp set, Frightening Feline (wood mount), and then bought it when it became available as a digital image. So,… Read More »

Monster Mash

Hi Stampin' Friends When I saw this card by Connie Babbert on SUDSOL, I had to copy it!  Well, not exactly copy but I was very inspired by it and made my version of the card. And I have the perfect song to accompany it.  It's Monster Mash from the 60's and I can still see my friends dancing to it at parties.  Download 01 Monster Mash Our Googly Ghouls have… Read More »

Shabby Chic goes Bright!

Hi Stampin' Friends For today's card, I used Papaya Collage, Apothecary Art and French Foliage Stamp Sets.  Usually I think of soft muted colors when I think of Shabby Chic, but I decided to go outside the box and make the card shabby chic but use bright bold colors. What do you think?  Do you like it? I love the French Foliage stamp set and will be using it more… Read More »
