Happy Halloween!

Halloween is quickly approaching. Halloween just isn't complete with out black cats. I love black cats. If they cross your path it is considered bad luck in America, but good luck in England. Since I'm English, I'm going with the good luck!

This is one of my cats Kwinki doing her best Halloween decoration impressions. She is actually sitting on top of a curtain rod in my living room, and YES they had not been dusted for a while.


The product spotlight on Stamp and Create this week is Halloween. The challenge on Magical Mondays is also Halloween! Witches are considered magical!
I used the ever so cute Best Friends Sweet Pea Image by Elaine Cox. The was stamped and then cut out using the new Classic Diamonds Nestabilities. The card was accented with Say it in Crystals Black Vintage Swirl, Black May Arts 1 1/4 inch Silk Ribbon, and a cute cat charm.



I hope you get a chance to shop for discounted Halloween Stamps at Stamp and Create and participate in the Halloween Challenge on Magical Mondays! I'd Love to see your fabulous creations!

ABC Challenge- F is for Flowers

Happy Wednesday! We are up to the letter "F" in the ABC Challenge Blog. This weeks challenge F is for Flowers and is also Fun if you ask me! The sponsor for this challenge Wild Orchid Crafts, could not be more appropriate. All of the roses on my card are from WOC. I am in love with their flowers and they ship worldwide. I placed a huge order and got it in less than 10 days! WOC is located in the United Kingdom and I am half way round the World in California. Shipping costs are very reasonable and they just reduced them 25%. They sell lots of other cool embellishments like pins and pearls, though I didn't want to go overboard and add them to my card. I needed to make sure you could still see the oh so cute Rosie Rabbit by Stampavie. The current Stampavie challenge #34 is to you die cuts. I used the new Lacey Squares nestabilites.



Supplies Used:
Stamps: Stampavie Rosie Rabbit by Penny Johnson, Sentiment from Papertrey Ink (PTI)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic Markers
Cardstock: SU Real Red, Basic Black, Neenah Solar White
Accessories: PTI texture Plate, WOC Flowers, Lacey Squares Nestabilites, SU Oval punches, May Arts Ribbon.

Happy Monday! The product Spotlight at Stamp and Create are Stamps from the Wags n' Whiskers The Wee Ones collection!  I showed this card to my dad and he said it reminded him of me when I was a younger. Except that my hair is brown!  This card will make a great congratulations card.


I love the new picks that Lacey had started carrying. You can see a close up of one of the colour selections below.
