Halloween Step Card

 Hi!  Today I have my second Halloween card I need for grandkids.  I only need 3, so I'm almost there!  Halloween is not really a holiday I celebrate, but my grandkids still like to get cards for it and it's a reason to work in my craft room!  I sure have been having a hard time getting some crafting time lately, so I'm tickled to get another one done.
                                                                                                                                                    
For this one I chose to make a  side step card.  It took me awhile to recall the dimensions for scoring the folds. All the
papers used are from scraps.

 This super tree cut is from Simply Scarecrows and the sentiment is from Ultimate Creative Sampler.   All other cuts are from Paper Doll Dress Up.  I added some little pieces of twine in the tree to resemble mossy webs hanging down. 

 I added a Jack-O-Lantern die cut from my stash, a few marker accents and there you go!  A fun and easy card to make!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope your week is full of blessings and you see God working this week!

It'a Challenge Time at My Sheri Crafts!

Hello & Happy Saturday to you!  I hope you are having a good weekend!  It's time for a new challenge over at My Sheri Crafts and this time we were asked to make an easel card with a shamrock. 

This is my card closed:

 And here it is open!  It's a 5x7 card made from dark green textured cardstock and the papers are from Die Cuts With a View.

 "Lucky" was cut from Creat a Critter and the sentiment was cut from Pooh Font and welded on my Gypsy. 

The pot of gold was cut from Paper Doll Dress Up and I used Glossy Accents on the gold to add more texture and shine.

The Top Hat and shamrock are also from Paper Doll Dress Up.

I added some doodling with a white gel pen and pop dotted the pot of gold to hold the easel and there you have it!

I hope you will join us with your easel card with a Shamrock.  You just may be our next GuestP Designer!  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

"Batty Birthday"

One of the boys in my Sunday school class today has a birthday Oct. 29th.  He was so excited to tell me "I'm having a birthday-slash-Halloween Party", as he told me SEVERAL times!  So I thought I would make him a card specifically for his "birthday-slash-Halloween party".  :)

 The card base looks black, but is actually a dark purple scrap of cardstock cut at 6 1/2" x 10" to make a 6 1/2"x5" card.   All of the papers are scraps from my stash, so I don't have any company names.

 The little bats were cut from Paper Doll Dress Up.  I cut them at 1/2" with the 'Real Size' dial on, the gift box is from Holiday Cakes cut at 3".  I really had a hard time not making that bow all glittery!  I had to keep reminding myself this was for a 10 yr old boy!

 This bat is from Holiday Cakes, blackout feature, sized and manipulated on my Gypsy.  I wrote the sentiment with a green glitter gel pen--I just HAD to have a tiny bit of sparkle somewhere!  :)

The inside bat is the same bat cut from Holiday Cakes without the manipulating.  I really wish the colors showed up correctly, the bat looks pretty good against that dark purple.  I hope you and the birthday boy like the card!  Thanks for coming by!

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Halloween Card #3

Hello!  I hope you have had a great, beautiful and craft-filled weekend!  It has been BEAUTIFUL here in Southwest Missouri. 

I got my third and final (I think) Halloween card. 

 This card will go to my 21 month old grandson, so I kept it pretty simple.  No extra embellishments that he might pull off and try to eat!  I used all scraps on this piece.  I love it when I can use some of those up!  The background paper is from Doodlebug Designs, the ghost is from Paper Pizazz, Fall book.  I've just about used that book up and bought it at a yard sale back when I first started scrapbooking.

 "boo" is cut from Holiday Cakes at 1" and the haunted house is from Paper Doll Dress Up.  I had cut 2 of those last year for cards and didn't use them.  I was tickled to find them, but not sure what size I cut them, approx. 2".

 This little ghostie is also cut from Paper Doll DU, and was another cut from last year.  He's about 1" tall.  All edges were inked with Pumpkin Orange ink, and I drew the face on this  ghost with a white gel pen.

Thanks for coming by and have a super week!

Painting Nails Layout

The girls just love to paint their nails.  They paint, remove, paint, remove and paint again.  I finally had to make a 1 time rule to save my polish remover!  Here is a layout I made of it.  I just kind of liked the way it turned out.

"Stylin" is cut from Cindy Loo font at 1".  The dolls are cut from Paper Doll Dress Up at 3".  I used metallic gel pens to color the hat band and detail the dresses.  The faces are Peachy Keen Stamps.  The mat for the story is from Storybook.   The papers are Nana's Kids.  TFL!
