Happy Halloween!!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.  Before heading out to our neighborhood Halloween block party, I wanted to get this post out......here are some more Halloween cards I wanted to share with you. 

The first one is using a stamp set from Close to My Heart that I purchased on Ebay (sorry, I don't know what it's called, no label on the package)....colored it in with Copics, used some Stickles on the stars for the twinkle effect and covered the ghost with Stampin' Up Diamond dust glitter....

For this second card, I used an old Stampin' Up set called Web Wishes

On both of these, I used a really cute set that I found at my local scrapbook store called Masked Dog by Shirley's 2 Girls.

 On this one I used a Stampin' Up set called Haunting Halloween

And this is one of my fur babies taking a nap with her blankie and pillow...

I hope you all have a wonderful and Happy Halloween!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Holidays

I couldn't wait to get started with this adorable image that Tracy sent to me for my Birthday.....it's just too cute!  It's a stamp from Lilly of the Valley called James Bear in the Snow.  I have entered this card into the following challenge, my first challenge....wish me luck:

I used an old paper stack from last year from My Minds Eye - Signature Christmas and colored the image using Copic Sketch markers.  To give it added dimension, I added Liquid Applique to his hat and the falling snow ~ I'm really happy with the end results.  Thanks again Tracy, I'll be using this on some of my Holiday cards.  The card measures 5" x 5".

Birthday Blog Candy!

I can't believe another birthday has come by.....so soon!  I don't remember birthdays showing up so quickly when I was younger, it seemed like a loooong ways to go before my next birthday would show up, now, I feel as if it was not so long ago, and here I am celebrating another year older......Although I'm not complaining, because I love what comes with birthdays, PRESENTS...LOL!  

My hubby has totally spoiled me this year....I have been asking for a sewing machine for sometime now, I have a Janome Sew Petite machine, but I wanted something a bit more heavy duty, that I could do more than just work with paper, and I got it today....my DH got me a Singer, a Martha Stewart Pick.  He also got me a Gypsy, I had been debating on whether or not I really wanted a Gypsy, since I don't really use my Cricut that often, but with all the amazing things that I've been seeing on YouTube, I was convinced.  Along with those great goodies, he knows I LOVE watches, so he also got me a Coach watch....it's beautiful along with some smell em' good em's, Beauty by Calvin Klein....it smells sooo good!  

I also want to thank Tracy & Julie, for the wonderful goodies they sent me as well as the adorable cards they created for me.   Thank you both for your thoughtfulness!
