Happy Belated Halloween!

 Boy, time really flies when you don't have any of it.  I can't believe we are in NOVEMBER already.  Not only that, but we have already gotten out first snow.  Ok, really, that is just crazy.  I wanted to post pictures of the kids in their costumes, but my camera died, so once I get those pictures uploaded, I will post, but I did have a picture of  my scary witch Emmy.  I took this on Saturday after we came back from the store.  We were able to find a long black wig and "gothic" witch dress.  This doesn't show her all dolled up with her black lipstick, but you can get the picture.  So many funny stories to tell about that night.  I will save them for when I post the pictures of all three of them.

So, other than traipsing all over Leesburg in the snow on Saturday, I did manage to create a few cards.  Here is a picture of one of my newest Holiday Cards.  I used the Trees with Trimmings stamp set from Papertrey Ink.  I stamped the images with Versamark and then embossed them with white linen embossing powder.  Then I cut the images out and  popped them up on my 4.25 x 5.5 inch card.  I also used Papertrey Ink's Signature Christmas stamp set for my sentiment.  I love how simple this card is yet so festive.

This next card was on I put together for a co-worker's birthday.  I lifted this design from Christina at Creations with Christina.  I always seem to find such great inspiration from her. I made a few modifications to my card, but they are still pretty close.  The recipient loved it.  The papers I used were Pure Poppy and Vintage Cream from Papertrey Ink and the black and cream damask was from the Black Currant Die Cuts with a View Stack.  I just love the black and white with the little pop of red.  I had the black sheer ribbon in my stash and have no idea where I got it from.  Chances are it is from Michaels, but I have had it so long I just can't remember.

So that is all for today, and I promise to get those Halloween pictures posted soon so you can share in the fun that I had with the kids that night!  It still makes me laugh thinking about them.

Until then, stay warm!

Big Hugs,
