There's a Scare in the Air!

Since I was feeling a little better today, I decided to work on a card for a couple of challenges this week. I started making a scarecrow from the Simply Scarecrow Cricut cart, but they didn't look "scary" enough. Darned things are so cute:-) I saw this creepy jack o lantern on the cart and thought he looked scarier:-) I embossed the orange layer with the Distressed Stripes Cuttlebug folder and popped it up on the black layer. I used different sized buttons for the eyes and added some Black Diamond Stickles to the stem. The patterned paper is from MME Haunted stack. The sentiment is from one of my favorite sets from Scrappy Moms, A Haunting We Will Go set.

Born To Fly

If you are from the US I hope all of you are having/had a wonderful holiday weekend. We were fortunate to be able to be outside to cook-out and use the pool. I'm hoping we get a few more good weekends before we have to close it for the summer. It does remind me that fall is around the corner, though. And Ooooh how I love those cider doughnuts:-P Our local orchard makes some of the best!  I'm thinking I may need go for a little visit next week to get a little fall inspiration;-)

My card for this past week's challenges was made using the Country Carnival Imagine cart along with the perfect sentiment from Pink By Design's Ticket To Ride set.

"Pink-ing" of you

I must say I am glad to know why I have been in so much pain the past week but not so happy that it's my gall bladder:-P And, unfortunately I'll have to live with this pain until I get an appt set up to get it taken care of:-( It is nice to work on challenge cards because it takes my mind off of the pain for a short while. I was able to get one card done this week for Pause Dream Enjoy blog challenge.

I used one of my favorite carts, Nifty Fifties, along with the coordinating Cuttlebug embossing folder. The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Pink-a-licious set stamped with Stampin' Up's Melon Mambo. Yes, I had to add a little Stickles:-) Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

Sweet Little One

What a beautiful day we had here! It's been so hot for so long I don't even remember the last time it was in the 70's. It was actually too cool to be in the pool (for me, not the boys). I'm glad I was up early this morning to get this challenge card done so I could enjoy the fabulous weather.

I made this sweet little baby card for My Craft Spot and Pause Dream Enjoy challenges. I used my Nursery Tails cartridge along with a darling sentiment from My Craft Spots Tiny Tags set. I embellished it with a few self-adhesive pearls, bakers twine, and hand dyed seam binding ribbon (yes, there is a small bit of Stickles, too). Make sure you check back tomorrow for this weeks FCCB Monday challenge. It's really "cool"! Thanks for stopping by. Have a creative day:-)
