Witch Way.......

I'm finally using the little witch from that cute set of MFT stamps - but I do love that frog like on the previous card too.  Nothing scary about my witch though since she's decked out in purple and pink.  I'm thinking this almost has to go to one of the granddaughters with those colors being used.

Oh, and if she's really looking for the candy and it happens to be candy corn - I can tell her exactly where it is........In my tummy!  Yummy!!!!!

I'll enter this in the MFT Sketch Challenge.

Pumpkins Sprouting Frogs

All sorts of strange and weird things happen at Halloween - so why not have a pumpkin sprouting a frog.  I mean, we eat pumpkin pie and also eat frog legs, so why not........  I take all that back since I don't eat pumpkin pie OR frog legs.....Uck!  Anyway.........

It's almost time for Halloween and I'm trying to get mine done early this year because like it or not, Christmas is on the way!

I created a clean and simple card using Witch Way Is The Candy from My Favorite Things.  I masked the pumpkins and then colored the little frog, hand cut him out, and perched him on top of the middle pumpkin.  It looks a little like that pumpkin really did sprout the frog!  "Boo" was stamped and heat embossed on black cardstock.  Dimensional tape was added to both the sentiment and frog.  Last but not least, the google eyes were added. 

I'll enter this in the 2018 Superstar Challenge at MFT - Clean and Simple and also the challenge over at Addicted to Stamps and More.

"Bear" With Me

Seems that in my life I go one step forward, and then two steps back.  I think this time I went one step forward and about 25 back................Ugh!

Quick and simple card for one of the guys that I'd done a month or so ago.  I used an image from Newton's Nook. 

So, like the title says......."bear" with me and I'll be back around when I get back around.  It's just not possible at this time though.

Flower Cat - 2 Crafty Critter Crazies

Instead of a 'flower child' today, we have a 'flower cat'!  The image is from Ike's Art and called Daisy Cat.  Yep, it's time once again for a new 2 Crafty Critter Crazies challenge.  Come on over and show us your critters.  Any kind of critter will work and we'd love to see your creation.  There's also a prize from Ike's Art for the winner.

Like I said, I used the image called Daisy Cat.  It's colored with Copics.  The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp and I used some unknown design paper along with some organza ribbon and a snippet of twine.

Remember - You have an entire month to enter your creation in 2 Crafty Critter Crazies!

One Black Cloud and a Boo

I probably make the least scariest Halloween cards ever but that's just how I roll I guess.  If you've followed my blog for a while you may remember that Halloween is not my favorite day.  (I DO love the candy corn that happens to appear about this time of the year though).   The grands all love Halloween even though I don't so of course they always have to get a card and treat from their Mimi.

This was my take on this weeks My Favorite Things sketch to enter their challenge.  The images, sentiment, paper, and frame die are all from MFT.  I added a little tiny black cloud above the frog and then googly eyes for fun.  Topped it of with some black Nuvo drops.

Bring on the Beer

I haven't even gone back to my little crafty corner lately but did find this picture of just a plain old mug of beer card and thought I'd put it on the blog so you wouldn't forget I was around.  Just haven't been in the card making mood it seems.  Typical ups and downs with the moods on that I guess.  Anyway..........( And see, you saw the picture and title of this and you really really thought I was going to have a super fun post today or something.  Guess I was behaving myself today.  Unusual I know).

The stamp is from Jane's Doodles - and you really can't get much more CAS than this I know.  I added some liquid applique for the foam, colored it with Copics, and that was just about it.  The card base is Kraft of course.

Seems I've been on a masculine card making roll lately and that's good since guys need cards too.

I just notice that the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge is food and drink - so going to pop this over there!



Thanks for stopping by...........and maybe I'll have more to share next week.

Getting Crazy and Wild

Not to worry around here - I'm not getting crazy and wild.  Well......maybe not wild anyway.  Those days are long past - but gosh, sometimes I really miss them!  As far as crazy..........I'm not even going to discuss that.  It's a different kind of crazy as you get older though and not nearly as much fun!

This is a jeep load of animals and they're all from Gerda Steiner Designs.  I'm thinking the little guy is scoping out the road ahead for Troopers since I doubt if the elephant has a drivers license.  Anyway......I used some Kraft paper and a border die from Lawn Fawn for the bottom part.  The background was done with distress inks and a Newton's Nook stencil.  The jeep was paper pieced with some camo paper that I've had forever.

I'll enter this in the challenge at The Male Room (Wild and Free) and Crafty Sentiment Designs (animals).
