Baby Boy Congrats Card

Awwww...there have been a lot of new babies and expectant moms at my work.  (I guess that's to be expected when you're a preschool teacher!)  I made this card to have on hand for the next one.  :)


I'm entering this in the MFT Stamps sketch challenge #404.  I used some MFT oldies, but goodies for this.

Thanks for stopping by!

The Friendly Spider ATC

Wellll...maybe not SO friendly??  I made this for an ATC swap themed "ATC with a napkin on it". 


As luck would have it, I recently participated in a napkin exchange.  I received a beautiful black napkin with metallic gold medallions on it.  I cut one of them out for the background of my ATC - it reminded me of an elegant spiderweb.


The whole spider thing also came about because I have been walking into/through spiderwebs SO OFTEN lately.  Drives me nuts!  Strange how inspiration strikes, isn't it?

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  How do you feel about spiders?

You Put a Spell On Me Tag

I've got these lyrics stuck in my head now.  I noticed that the challenge over on the Stampotique Designers Challenge blog is "monsters".  Well, I love me some monsters!  I hadn't taken Cecil out for spin for a looonnnggg time so he is the creepy dude chosen for my tag today.


The background was made with Dylusions ink spray and Color Burst watercolor powder.  I stamped 'heads' over that.

Oh, I love it!  I'm getting in the mood for Halloween!  And now I can officially say, "Happy Fall!".

Thanks for stopping by today.  :)

Too early for Christmas?

I think interactive cards are so much fun and I pulled out the Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel again to make a card for the "something old, something new" challenge at Lawn Fawnatics.



My "something new" is the Reveal Wheel Holiday Sentiments.

My "something old" is the Tobaggan Together stamp set and the Stitched Mountain Border.

Thanks for stopping by!

Time ATC

I've been a bit quiet on here, but have still been working behind the scenes.  I made this ATC for a "paste" challenge. 


The background was created using light modeling paste and the Tim Holtz clockworks stencil.  I painted over that with gold metallic Distress paints.  The clock is rubbed with Inka Gold and some rub-ons were used for the spots of text.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Fall Mood Board

Hello, Friends!

I recently caved and purchased the Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel die set.  I just had to - love me some interactive fun.  I made this card for the Lawn Fawnatics current mood board challenge.


Here's what each sentiment says...


The mood board is fall-inspired and full of beautiful fall colors and inspiration.
