Loaded Embroidery Hoop, and Spooky Card

Now isn't this a cool Halloween card? Anyone

who ever watched the movie "Carrie" can relate 

to this one! 

Hubby just loved the card Kym. Thanks! 

Still playing catch up to post projects I've been 

working on this month. 

This is a loaded hoop that I made for a swap. 

The base is a 7 inch embroidery hoop. Covered with

pattern paper, and trims. By using only half the size of the hoop 

in the front it forms a pocket to put goodies in. 

Closer view of the pocket.

I went with a spider theme. Cause lets face it they are the

scariest!

 

 

Here is what it looks like without the goodies inside. 

 

I decorated the inside as well that way the person who receives it

 

can still use it as decor after the goodies inside are taken out.

End of the Week Projects

Well it's the end of the week, and I have a few photos

to post of what I've been working on this week. 

I'm in a swap with the Passbook Pals FB group, and

this one is for Witches and spells. Found a cool pack of paper

at Catan's called Bewitched. Of course that makes me think

of Samantha Stevens. Loved that show.

Artist trading card I made using a pumpkin latte theme. I had

a Starbucks coffee sleeve so I cut on the symbol in the center and used

it on the cup. 

More artist trading cards. 

and last set. Love the blue on this one. 

 

We had to turn the heat on this morning. So it begins! Well I was

 

the one wanting Fall to get here!

Fall Themed Cards

I made four Fall themed cards yesterday afternoon while

stamping with Betty. 

Since I still have lots of leaves that I made before using

the Tattered Leaves die I use those to create the cards. 

I'm still thinking about the card on the left. Not sure

if it needs a greeting on the front or not. I just

don't want to cover up all the fun "fall" words that are

printed on the patterned paper. 

The little leaf on the left was stamped with Ranger Perfect Medium then

brushed with Perfect Pearl powder. It shimmers, but I don't think the 

photo reflects that. 

I think my favorite of the four is the Thanksgiving card on the right. 

Since it went into the 40's last night I'm going to turn on the oven and

make......wait for it......I'm sure you already know.......

PUMPKIN MUFFINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paris Themed Thank You Card

Cute little Paris themed thank you card for my 

friend Betty. She gave me the die set for my birthday. 

 

The little dog stamp is by Julie Nutting. 

Got some great crafting time in today with Betty. I'll

take photos, and post pics of the Fall cards I made tomorrow. 

Well we are finally getting our Fall season here. In the 50's for the rest 

of the week, and into the 40's at night. I'm so ready for it!!!!!

I can start baking again, and enjoying all the fall favorites. 

 

At the time I'm writing this I'm listening to Magic 105.7 and 

 

they are playing Michael Jackson's Thriller. Perfect!

Decorated Artist Trading Card Fall Box

Artist Trading Card box holder. Got this

from Graphic 45. It came as kraft colored box.

I painted it brown then added the patterned paper. 

Open view. 

The box came with three tags so I went ahead and decorated them

to fit the Fall theme of the box. 

Second tag. 

Last one. 

Here is a view of the that squirrel again. Isn't he cute! 

Stamped with black ink then colored with Prisma pencils.

Fall Themed Embellishments

Some Fall themed embellishments I made yesterday. 

Used some different thinlits, and chipboard to make them. 

Remember all those leaves I made and posted last week?

Well I used some to make these embellishments. 

Closer view. 

and the last one I made a rosette to mount the chipboard on. 

So warm out! Me and hubby went walking around the lake yesterday

later in the afternoon, then we went to Eatin Park for dinner. 

It's just after midnight that I'm writing this post. It is still in the 70's out. 

How wonderful is that! Bad news of yesterday the Indians lost are

are out of the rest of post season. They had a good season, but it would

have been nice if they could have won the World Series this year.

Scarecrow Skinny Card

No stamping on this skinny card. 

The stickers were purchased at A.C. Moore. 

Happy fall was done on my dymo machine. 

Popped up the pumpkin, and leaf to give

the card some depth. 

This is for a swap I'm doing with the Swappers Corner FB group. 

We are having the best 1st week of October. Even though we have

had some rain it has been very warm. Best of all the Cleveland

Browns beat the Ravens yesterday! How cool is that!
