Today I made a fall card for Thanksgiving.  This card is for the Bitten by the Bug 2 Challenge. I used Stamping/Estampage Cartridge for the maple leaves.  I cut them in white then sponged on the various colors, crinkled them and added veins with my embossing tool.  I used a sparkle gel pen to highlight the veins. Cut Grateful from Autumn Celebrations. Added the embellishments of fiber green ribbon, cheese cloth, sprayed the background with Terra Cotta Walnut Ink (by Tsukineko), button with gold cord and gold pearls. Hope you like it!!

I decided to make this card for 3 challenges.  Splitcoaststampers sketch design Created with Love and Love RubberStamps. I used SU stamps and the background paper is from Cloud 9 and K & Company.

I have some great news I have been selected as a Design Team Member at Bitten By the Bug 2 and I am really excited.  I love using and teaching with my Cricut.  I can't wait to work with this talented group of ladies!!

I made this card for Bitten By the Bug 2 challenge.  The challenge was to use an overlay.  I cut my overlay from Art of Philosophy.  The penguin and trees are from Christmas Cheer.  I added white gel pen to the trees and bling to the snowflakes.  The paper is Debbie Mumm. I love her paper.

Good morning! We are having such wonderful cool ocean breezes that I am really loving! It is just so crisp and clear.  The only thing I miss is the beautiful colors of leaves changing.  We really don't get much of that unless you go up into the mountains.  Well anyway I have made so many Halloween cards that I thought I would make a Thanksgiving card today.  I used Autumn Celebration cartridge for the pilgrim and the Mayflower.  I will be entering this card into Bitten by the Bug 2 Fall challenge.

I am having so much fun making Halloween cards!  The mix of colors and fun papers have endless possibilities!! Here is a card I made for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge!  We were to use words or numbers on our card.  I used Mini Monster, K & Company paper and I stamped a web over some of the white letters just to give it additional interest.

Good morning,  here in California there is finally a little coolness in the air so it made me feel like fall is finally on its way so I decided to do a Halloween themed shape card.  I am entering this card into the shapes challenge at Bitten By the Bug 2.  I used Happy Hauntings for the cat and the ghost in the corner which is a little hard to see!  He is disappearing! Hee Hee! For the haunted house and Beware I used Autumn Celebrations.
