Good Thursday morning!  I hope y’all have had a good week so far.  I would tell you the story of what happened yesterday but . . . . I’m sure you would find it pretty boring.  Let’s put it this way . . . four of us went to get passports, two post offices later . . . . two got them, two did not.  Am I one who did?  Well of course not!  My certified birth certificate is no longer good for obtaining a passport (even though it says it is right there on the page) . . . so I’ll be delayed a month or so.  That’s okay, there is plenty of time to get my passport and to lose a few extra pounds.  My sister and I are calling it “Losin’ for Cruisin’!”

Enough about that  . . . but we are very excited.  All four of the adult children (and their spouses except for mine) are going on a 7-day cruise with the momma (step-momma for two of them).  See I can’t let it go . . . February is a way off!

Fast reverse to a few days ago in the studio.  Card making!  While at CHA I picked up a couple of Unity – Itty Bitty Stamps.  One of them was Halloween and since I’ve been in the mood to make Halloween cards recently, I couldn’t resist.

Here’s the outside:

UnityShakeYourBootie

The little ghost was colored with Copic Markers and then mounted on varying circle die templates from Spellbinders™.  The edges of the paper were distressed and then sponged with Antique Linen Distress Ink.  The border was made with 2 of the new Edgeabilities.  See that sentiment . . . How do GHOSTS like to dance? . . . well look at the inside

I LOVE it!

By the way, the seam binding was dyed with a mix of Dusty Concord and Sky Blue to get just the right shade of purple.

Well that’s it for today except . . . remember life is short, embrace the adventures of the day!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Little Haunt Couture!

Smiley from millan.net I am so glad today is Tuesday and my busy, busy days are coming to an end.  I have a big meeting here at the house tonight (a sorority thing) and I spent yesterday trying to straighten things up so we wouldn’t look like total pigs.  They’ll have to deal with my dirty windows and a few cobwebs . . .  but hey a great housekeeper I’m not.  I would much rather create!

Thank goodness I was able to make a couple of extra cards over the weekend . . . Because now I have something to share with you today!

Of course you remember that I recently attended a class by Karen Lockhart at Papertrix.  When I was shopping at the end of the classes, I could not resist picking up a few Halloween stamps.  Actually, the minute I walked in the door of the shop, they just jumped right into my basket . . . there was nothing I could do but purchase them.  The Haunting Witches Dress was one that jumped in!

LockhartHauntCouture(3SB)

The dress was stamped on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White with Memento Tuxedo Black and then colored with Copic Markers.

Copics for Lockhart Witch Dress

The web on the bottom, the bodice and the collar were highlighted with a Gelly Roll Stardust Marker.  The dress and the layers below were die cut/embossed with Spellbinders™ Labels Eleven.  The sentiment “haunt couture” was die cut/embossed with Grommet Tags and the bottom was was made with Classic Scalloped Edgeabilities.  On the inside, but not photographed is the sentiment “witchie . witchie . screamie . screamie . happy . happy. halloweenie!”  You’ve got to LOVE it!

I guess that’s all for today, except . . . thanks for stopping by and remember . . . life is short, embrace the adventures of the day!

Smiley from millan.net Well, I’m later than I wanted to be today in posting.  I don’t really know what happened to my day . . . I worked in the studio this morning making this card, but I guess it took me longer than I thought.

When I was at CHA, I picked up the Halloween sets from JustRite Stampers and couldn’t wait to sit down and do some coloring.  The only problem was I didn’t have any Halloween paper.  So when I was at Papertrix on Monday I picked up Memory Box’s new pad, Blackbird.    By the way, there are things I find at Papertrix that I don’t find anywhere else.  If you happen to want to use some of these things I’m picking up (like this Memory Box Paper Pad), you can call Cindy or Wayne and I bet they would take a phone order and ship it out to you.   I really can’t help you with another link for the Memory Box paper, because I don’t have any other connection.  If someone out there does, and if you/they don’t mind me linking to the site, let me know.  I’ll gladly put up a link in my supply list.

Are you ready for the card? Smiley from millan.net

TrickOrTreatPumpkin

The image was colored with Copic Markers and the web and the black border were highlighted with a Gelly Roll Stardust Pen.   Spellbinders ovals were used to mount the image and the new Edgeabilities were used for the border.  The seam binding was dyed with a mixture of Wild Honey and Spiced Marmalade Distress Stains.  The image and the remaining papers were sponged with a touch of Antique Linen Distress Ink.

I almost forgot the sentiment.  It was stamped in Jet Black Archival and then die cut with Spellbinders new Blossom Tags and Accents.  The edges were sponged with Antique Linen and attached to the bow with a mini safety pin.

That’s all I have for now.  Thanks for stopping by and remember  . . . life is short, embrace the adventures of your day!
