                 She is an older slap stick cling stamp from Penny Black

                                Bromhilda ?? an old wood stamp   

                                  Designer  paper

             Tim Holtz 3-D embossing folder called 'dotted'.

                         Love the oxide sprays, and the mica sprays.

 Hello to all. Hope your day is wonderful. I had a great day making Halloween cards. Promise I will share them as soon as they get edited. Today we'll share are a few lattice cards. Called 'split card fronts'. Look them up, there are limitless ideas! Linda made this one for my birthday and I love it! So pretty.

                                               

                      Just some ephemera ... Maybe Pinkfresh studio

                       These were made with dies from Concord&9th

                     For this last one I watched Bibi Cameron. Correct heading is lattice..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOeXsfhXxlg
                           

                    The flowers are Memory box poppy dies.

                              

                                          Thanks for looking!

 This is just an extra for this evening. I put these together in about a half day, and loved them when I did them. They are simply cards made from Spellbinders ephemera pack! Wow, there are a ton of images in one package. Fun.

                                              

Always reach for the red/green combo. I think the foiled ephemera is from Pink fresh studio.

Thanks for looking!!

Thursday October 5th

 Well, yes good evening! I am back from a busy two  weeks. Had a messed up computer for awhile. Now it says the hard drive is full, so I am deleting and moving files. Then we had company, we visited, ate, shopped and played with this little gem.... Oh my gosh I would've played with her the whole time.

                   
          So cute! Someone dumped  the litter on the side of the road. Heather picked her up and other people stopped and took the rest. Really young.  

Without messing around too much I will share some of the cards I made in September. I am always behind! 

This is a Spellbinder die from Yana Smakula. When I ordered it, I instantly regretted it as you have to piece it. Blend color, then put it back together. BUT, when I worked with it, it is easy and beautiful!!

                 

          These are all the same poinsettia, all with a gold outline and vellum backing. There are pieces of extra foilage too.

                       The 'Joyful' die is a hot foil die from Spellbinders.

                      The greenery die is separate, but designed to fit into the spaces of the letters in the Joyful!

                                           

                                 Hope you enjoyed looking!

Usually I get my ducks, in this case, my little bears, in a row! I wasn't sure what I was doing, but just wanted to share this Penny Black 'showered in love' image. Hope you like them!

                                                       Made some extra images

      This combines the LOVE die from Penny Black with the stamped bear.

                                               The little girl is a slip of ephemera

                                          Did have fun with these! Hope you enjoy!

                                         Thanks for looking!
