the end of googlie eyes (sigh)

OK...so today is Halloween and I am SO depressed. (sigh) Why you ask? Well, call me short-sighted or whatever you like but Halloween is the only time I can see a use for my beloved googlie eyes! (sigh) With the passing of Halloween my beloved googlie eyes also pass until next Halloween. (sigh) WOE IS ME! (BIG sigh)

OK...I'll stop babbling about googlie eyes (sigh) and get on with telling you what I used to make this card. (just one more...SIGH).

another REALLY simple card

This card is SO simple! I LOVE this DSP (Designer Series Paper) too! The bats you see are "flocked". This paper reminds me of the old fashioned wallpaper you used to see in the old Victorian homes! Anyway, you really can't get much simpler than this card! Here are the items/products I used to make this card.

another Wicked Cool card

I got the idea for this card from a card made by Gayla O'Dell. I'm not sure if you can tell from the picture but I stamped the hat on a scrap piece of Whisper White and then cut it out and used Stampin' Dimensionals to attach it to the card. I just LOVE this stamp set! Here are the items and products I used to make this card.

Wicked Cool Halloween

I SO love Halloween! I don't dress up or anything like that. I don't even "decorate" the house (we live in a business district in a small town so we don't get any kids for Halloween!) but I still LOVE Halloween! Here is one of the 15 or so Halloween cards I made to send out to family and friends. It might be hard to see in the picture but I used some ribbon around the "brim" of the witch's hat...can you see it there? I just used a hole punch and punched right beside the hat on each side and threaded the ribbon though the holes. Then, I just glued the ends down to the back of the paper! I used the same ribbon that I used on the little tag on the card. Here is a list of the items I used to make this card...
