HAPPY HALLOWEEN

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL AND TO ALL A SCARY NIGHT!

AUTUMN

I did some more ink smooshing on the background of this card and then die cut the leaves and inked them as well.  Pretty simple straight forward card.  Why are leaves so much nicer on paper than on my lawn?!  Our weather has been in the 50's and 60's lately which is crisp but sure nice for walking.  They are forecasting some 70's soon but that will feel nice. 

Oh remember I said I would let you  know if I read a good book?  Well I have two of them for you today.  Blueprints by Barbara Delinsky and Dashing Through the Snow by Debbie Macomber. The snow one is a real quick fun read to put you in the Christmas spirit.  I get them from the library so may read them very early or in March or July!  LOL 

Until next time, happy trails to you...

Birthday Greetings

Did you wonder where I have been?  Gosh, I didn't realize it had been so long since my last post.  My second bathroom and closet has been completed with a remodel and I was clearing out the family room and bedroom so the carpet cleaners could come.  Then of course things had to go back and the bathroom and closet put together.  Still not finished with the little stuff but it is livable now.   I made this card for our pastor's wife for her birthday.  I really like the Open Studio dies from Memory Box.  I just used Distress inks behind it and blended them with fall colors and voila, a simple but I think pretty card was born. 

Until next time, happy trails to you...

Butterfly Sympathy

While I was still smooshing my Distress inks, I made this card as well.  I really do like this technique.  I paired it up with a butterfly I found that I have had for years.  It is a rub on.  I really like them and went to find more and they don't make rub ons anymore - or at least that I can find. 

Today is my youngest daughters birthday!  Happy birthday, Michelle! 

Thanks for visiting!  And until next time, happy trails to you!

Spooky October

Well, it has been awhile since I have been here.  Things have been crazy around the house.  I am putting in a new bathroom and this week has been filled with cleaning up the dust and dirt from that that seems to filter everywhere in the house.  I have washed walls, hauled boxes, etc. Tomorrow the carpet cleaner comes so if the contractor comes today he could finish up!  Have my fingers crossed!  Anyway, I thought I would kick off October with a spooky card I made in September.  I used distress inks to blend the background and then dies for the rest of the card.  I hope you like it and don't get to scared! LOL

Until next time, happy trails to you...
