Birthday Glasses

I have a real quick post this afternoon with a birthday card I made

for one of the doctors I work with.

I thought this would be appropriate for an Optometrist's birthday.

I used the sketch from
Freshly Made Sketches.
I cut the eyeglasses from a
taylored expressions die.
The sentiment was cut with a Sizzix sizzlit
and the papers used are from DCWV's Natural matstack.

Thanks for taking a look!

Charlie's Halloween

My latest card design for

C Thru the woods Clear Stamps

features Charlie from

 The Boys in the Woods Series

along with a Prima Doll in a Halloween setting.

Both Charlie and the Prima Doll were stamped

on white card stock and colored with markers

Parts of their outfits paper pieced.

The background is a printed paper from the

Recollections Halloween Basics 6x6 paper pad.

The black cat was stamped from a Graphic 45 Halloween set
 and heat embossed.

I added some Dazzles stickers from Hot Off the Press,

the ghost die cut from K&Company 

and the "Beware" sticker from Recollections.

Be sure and check Charlie out at

Happy Haunting

Wow! I can't believe it's October. 

Where has the rest of the year gone?

I think it's time I get started on some Halloween cards.

I used inspiration from 2 challenges for this one.
The color combo from
Color Throwdown

and the sketch from
Tuesday Morning Sketches.

I used a Graphic 45 stamp, Sizzix dies and an EK Success border punch
with Recollections papers.

Thanks for taking a look!

Baby Bunny

It's not very often I need a card for a baby shower

but my daughter-in-law invited me to her sister's shower

which is this afternoon, so I quickly threw together this one.

.

I used the sketch from

Freshly Made Sketches.

I did a little bit of die cutting with Sizzix dies
and some embossing with a Cuttlebug folder and
another I purchased from Paper Wishes.
The Recollections paper flower and computer generated
greeting were the finishing touches.

Fall Inspired

I have a fall card today inspired by the photo inspiration challenge at

Just Us Girls.

The image I used is another free printable from

Beccy's Place

which I colored with pencil colors.

The papers are from K&Company and DCWV.

I found the cute leaf buttons at WalMart.

I used the current sketch from

Mojo Monday.

Thanks for taking a look!

Cardinal and Holly

I think I need to get back to making at least one 

Christmas card per week if I'm going to meet my goal for this year.

So using this week's sketch at

Tuesday Morning Sketches

I came up with this.

The cardinal image is a free printable from
Beccy's Place
which I colored with markers.
The circles and flowers were die cut.
The large ivory panel was dry embossed
and a couple of gems and a sentiment sticker were added.

Thanks for taking a look!
