 Last little spooky images from Spellbinders. This is Fiona the dancing witch. I know I don't need every one of the character dies, but they are so so cute!!!

              Used the bats and the bird from the Tim Holtz set

Change the dress, face and accessories. Easy

 Oh, they need a fence, a graveyard, a haunted mansion... This is just not quite enough. They did get the pet kitty & some bats??

 

Happy Halloween

Be safe!

Wednesday

         Spellbinders martini glass, and Halloween 'add ons'. And after tomorrow all the spookies will be gone. Oh no!

    Wanted to do more again, this time I'm not sure who to send them too!

            Even bubbles and frosty rims, and eyeballs, and skelton faces with red eyes. Word strips came from Etsy too. 

        I had to play with the martini glass and the Christmas 'add on'. Love the little hat, candy and gingerbread guy. The background  'glasses' are a Better press plate from Spellbinders. The black card           above is the same better press plate foiled.

                             

                                                       One more for tomorrow!

                                             Thanks for looking!

One more Halloween card idea! I had fun playing with mixed media again. Mostly the mica sprays and some oxide inks in the mix. This is Tim Holtz sketchbook prints. Wish I would have had more time to play with them. 

                                Then more spooky characters from Tim Holtz

                              But first Lucy Lou says 'hi' or 'woof'.

These are images from Etsy. Every one of them are fun!

                                                   Thanks for looking!

 Wow! This is hard, as I am dying to get back to my book today. I am reading Kristin Hannahs book, The Women. She is a wonderful writer. I've several of her books. I even bought one twice. Yes, I did that. Used to keep a list. Once you stop the list, you are lost. 

So just to keep on with the 'card share'. I will show you a cutesy halloween card.  This is a Honeybee Stamp die set. 

            The backgound above was cut two times. It is a spider web die from Cherry Blossom stamps. 

          The background here is an old stamp. Just the spider web, Maybe Ali or Wish.

                                     Time to finish the book! 

                                     

                                   Thanks for looking!

 Good morning!. Just one more 'flower' set before we delve into the world of pumpkins! This is another 'favorite' set from Spellbinders. The Spring reflection large die from Feb. 2023. Takes me awhile!

Did you notice the differences in the frames? One is a leafy design, the other more contemporary. Like this set.

         I know yellow and more yellow. Got to admit it is 'springy'. The next one is adapted (at least the colors) for Christmas. 

                              

          I cut pink flowers, but just had to quit for now. Yes, you will see these again. 

Oh, wait, I was just looking at my SDcard and there are a couple more random cards to share. Just old sticker sheets & a Marianne circle die. 

This is a Memory Box string art die. 

 

                         Spellbinders Mushroom Mansion

                       

                      Rainbow Spellbinders....Just made one each set.

                                      Thanks for looking!

 Wow! So many things to get done, so little time. This is the Spellbinders etched poinsettia spray die set'. It is easy and so pretty. Saw it on the spellbinders blog in turquoise and pinks. Beautiful.

             Oops, just noticed I forgot the center on the lower poinsettia! I will go back and fix it now!

                         The foil strip greeting is 'merry & bright. Hard to see. 

          Used the Mirror arch label (Spellbinders) on an embossed white background. 

These are my favorite.  I will add the sentiment when I decided where it is going.

  

                                                                   Thanks for looking!

This post will be dedicated to Gracie. Six years ago, we lost this amazing doggie. Kidney failure. It was one of the hardest things to endure. Yesterday we got out several cameras and looked at the older SD discs. It was a walk down memory lane. Most of you know we have always had doggos and yes, I could wallpaper the house with pictures of each and every one of them! Even going back to the days way before digital. 

She is about 5 in either of these pictures

       Gracie is 8 here. Her longest memorial is in late October 2018 in two parts. She was funny and so so fluffy!                  

                 Just don't want to forget any of the others, so for now, I will just mention our Zoeie. She was so laid back and loving. She probably only barked once in her life. Not kidding. Zoeie was with us 16 years. I mentioned to a friend, who had a friend that had found her on Tropicana ave. that if he couldn't find her a home I would take her. He brought her to my store a week later. Yup. 

Don't you love those eyes?

Above is Heidi the tri. We had her almost 17 years & Maxie was with us for 12. They were young here. Below is a pic of Heidi, Maxie & Dusty. Had him about 12 years too. All wonderful!

Okay enough for now!

 Thanks for looking!
