Haunted House

Hope everyone is having a great week!  I have been busy spending time with my grandbabies 22 month old twins Andy and Alyssa.  Enjoyed some one on one time with Andy on Tuesday, and had some one on one with Alyssa today.  They are so cute and so much fun, but boy they sure keep you busy!  I did find some time to work on a Halloween card today and it is just so cute.  I have really been having fun with the side step card you can find the template on SCS they are just so cute!! I cut out 2 haunted houses from the Debbie Mum paper I bought a couple of years ago, used the Stampin Up owl punch to create the ghost, the Martha Stewart fence punch and the bats and Trick or Treat banner is from the new Recollections Halloween stamps I just bought from Michael's.  Enjoy the rest of your week and have a Safe and Fun Labor Day Weekend!

Timeless Tuesday #184

Good morning all, the Timeless Tuesday challenge at Flourishes is hosted by Denise this week and it's all about purple and blue!  Those are two of my favorite colors.  I have been working on Halloween cards and just happen to have one in purple and blue.  I used the Reflection Halloween stamps for the witch.  Using a white piece of card stock I masked a circle for the moon and inked around it with shades of blue and purple.  The mask was removed and inked using yellow to create the moon.  The window was made with 2 Grand Madison window die cuts put together.  I used the Martha Stewart fence punch and embellished with a spider, leaves and a pumpkin.  My little grandson thought this was a cute card.  I do think it turned out really cute.  Hope everyone is having a good week, praying for those in the New Orleans area with Issac approaching.  My husband and I lived in New Orleans for a short time, it is close to our hearts!  Have a great week everyone and Keep Stamping!

Christmas Cards

 Been busy working on Christmas cards this week.  I saw this Stampin Up Dasher snow globe on Pinterest.  It was posted by jandjcc, thanks for the idea!  I just had to give it a try.  It turned out so pretty.  I will be making a few more of these.  The other card was done using the Grand Madison window die cut, Stampin Up's A Wish For Peace stamp set, Flourishes Christmas Classic set for the cardinal and Vintage Postcard set for the sentiment.  I just love how pretty it turned out.  Hope you all are having a good Thursday.  Keep stamping!!

Back To School!

Can't believe the summer is almost over!!  As my 2 grandsons are preparing to head back to school I thought I would make them alittle something.  I found this pencil card template on Pinterest, it was such a cute idea.  I wanted to make them  a goodie bag, so I search SCS for an idea.  I came across backpack goodie boxes they were so cute.  The template and instruction are found in the tutorials section.  I used the DCWV Grade School paper pack to make the backpack.  These turned out so cute, and the boys really loved them.  Filled the backpack with candy, pens etc..  I will have a 5th grader and a 3rd grader this year.  Can't believe how fast they are growing up!!

Timeless Tuesday Challenge #183

Good morning everyone, hope everyone is having a great week so far!  Maki at Flourishes is hosting this week's challenge Butterflies, Bees, Spider, oh my!!  I used my favorite stamp set Butterflies and Blossoms to make this pretty birthday card.  Lots of beautiful butterflies.  I just love the triple stamp technique.  You can find the instruction at SCS.  I used Prisma watercolors to color all of the flowers, leaves and butterflies.  To add just alittle sparkle I used Stampin Up's Diamond Dazzle on the butterflies.  This was a fun challenge as I just love beautiful butterflies.  Enjoy the rest of the week, and keep Stamping!

A Banner Celebration Challenge

The last challenge at 8:00 pm over at Flourishes was to use a banner.  Last week I was working on Halloween cards for my grandsons and happened to make one using a banner.  It was the perfect pick for this challenge.  I had so much fun working on these for the boys.  Didn't use a lot of stamping on this card.  I made the pumpkins using oval punches, inked the edges.  The witch's hat came from a stamp I picked up at JoAnn's in the dollar bend.  The fence is the Martha Stewart fence punch.  I made the candy corn banner out of yellow, orange and white cardstock.  Hope you all are having fun with the 2, 4, 6 and 8 challenges they have really been fun!  I just love all the challenges at Flourishes!!  Have a goodnight everyone.

Add Some Sprinkles To The Top Challenge

The 6:00 pm challenge at Flourishes Birthday Celebration was to add sprinkles to the top!!  I have been busy working on Christmas cards and love the look of this card plenty of sprinkles.  I used the Seasonal Wreath stamps, the Grand Madison Window diecut, the Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder and lots of glitter and ribbon. This card turned out so pretty.
