Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Ceal's turn to host our Addicted to CAS Challenge tonight and she has a timely one for us :-) Well, as I was making cards for the charity Cards for Hospitalized Kids - it seemed really appropriate to make a fun shaker card using my favorite new Halloween set - Fright Night. I started by cutting out a circle and used my distress inks to create a harvest moon. I then cut a circle out of my front panel - and partly stamped the cobweb onto the top. Well.. it has to be...

Hi Everyone, Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Joanne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a wonderful theme for us: I don't often make Halloween cards, but I saw this fabulous owl called Fright Night and paired it with a background stamp called Widows Web - both available from Fun Stampers Journey.

I really wanted his eyes to stand out and... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's my turn to host the Paper Players challenge this week and it's a theme challenge. Now... I could have just left this post with the challenge badge. Why?

I remembered that I had the "Sophisticated Spooks" download and, because MDS allows me to color specific elements within my... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday. A very quick post for you tonight and I have a card to share using a fun set from the SU Holiday Catalog - Tee Hee Hee.

I changed things up a little by making the brooms be the posts for the clothes line and I popped the hosiery on the... Read more →
Hi everyone. Happy Tuesday night. I thought it was about time you had a break from Ornamental Pine and had a sneak peek at another set from the upcoming SU holiday mini. Tee-Hee-Hee is a halloween set and, although I don't normally "do" halloween, I loved this set and I knew that the first card I made would be created using this sentiment! This card is for Pammie and Rach..... they both know why - and I know they both will appreciate this card :-) Of course, I needed a little inspiration and went along to casethissketch and found this...
