I know, I know...

Yes, I know it's not Halloween anymore! But I have just one more card to show you! I made this card for the Spooktacular Mystery Monday challenge on The Greeting Farm as well as the Farm Fresh Friday sketch challenge on Club Anya.I used the Vampire Ian from the Spooktacular stamp set and the skull from the Matey's stamp set. The coffin was just sketched out and cut by me. I wish I had a die cut for it though, sheesh it was a bit tricky! Here is a close up of Vampire Ian and the sentiment.
I put sakura glitter pen on his wings and some of his hair to make him sparkle a bit, and glaze on the sentiment. Oh, and the skulls are stamped in silver in and embossed. Well, I'm off to work this morning so I hope you all have a blessed Wednesday!

It's almost Halloween!

Are you all getting excited about Halloween? We are getting ready and getting our costumes together. Since Italy doesn't celebrate the holiday, the base has a Trunk or Treat celebration for the families. We literally trick or treat from one vehicle to another on the base. It's going to be a lot of fun and I'll post pics after we attend! So, in the spirit of the holiday, I finally made some cards! YES! I MADE SOME CARDS! And I used this card to participate in a challenge! YES! This is for the Farm Fresh Friday challenge called "Sans Frills". There are no girly frills on this card whatsoever! Here is the card want to share one with you today:The adorable Sentiment, Mummy, Witch, and Bride of Frankenstein are from the Spooktacular set from The Greeting Farm. The Ghosts, candy strip, pumpkin and Cat are from Making Memories. Here is another view to show you the dimension on the card:
I had so much fun putting this together. I made another one too, but you'll have to wait a day or so to see that one. It feels so good to have my Mojo back! I just hope it sticks around for awhile. Thanks so VERY much for stopping by and be blessed!

TGF Swap Cards!

Hey Everyone! Remember when I told you about the TGF swap I was in? I got my cards back and I love them! I want to share with you so here they are. First up, the card that made me want to join the swap by Amy:Isn't it great? She altered one of the Miss Anya's and turned her into a Pixie. And talking about Pixie's... Amy has some of her own pixie stamps designs coming out in rubber! In case you didn't see the little announcement on yesterday's post, head over to my right sidebar and click on Amy's Awesome Candy and you can read all about it! Anyway, here is another card I got in the swap. This one is by Twila:
