Boo-tiful Treat!!

Hello Bloggie friends, just a quick little card I whipped up!! I have been looking at my K. Andrew Design stamp sets trying to thing of all the different sayings I could make with them. So the other night this came to me!! I get these ideas at the weirdest times of day, usually when it's time to go to bed.

 I used various papers including Stampin up along with my PK stamps for her eyes and Fall-o-ween by K. Andrew Designs for the sentiment!  Added a little pink chalk to her cheeks and white to her eye, drew on a mouth, stitched her Candy Corn costume and there you have it.

Hope you have a great rest of the day!!

Happy Craftin!!

You are Courageous!!

Hello Bloggie friends, today I want to share a card I made for a very dear friend of mine.  Just recently she found out that she has inoperable Cancer tumors, one on her brain and the other on her spine .  I will never forget the day she called me to tell me.  At first I did not know what she was trying to tell me!  I thought she was talking about someone else!  She was so upbeat and positive, telling me that she was okay and that she was going to beat this disease!!  I put this card together for her.

I used my new Martha Stewart Punch all over the Page Daisy punch along with various papers and of course my K. Andrew Design stamps, Amazing You and Mini Sympathetic Sayings.

I ask that you all pray for my friend to have the strength to fight and win this battle that she faces.  God Bless you all.

Happy Craftin,

Ildi

Spooky...Spooky...Spooky

Today I have to give props to Brittan P. of the Above Rubies Studio Design Team.  This past week, for the Tuesday Tutorial, she demonstrated how to make a card using Paper Layerz!  She explained how you don't just have to use it just for cuts.  I fell in love with the card that she made so I decided that I would try my hand at it and put my own spin on it!!  Hope you like it!!

I did not use Paper Layers but tried to imitate the colors somewhat!  She had given us the measurements she used on her Gypsy but I did not feel like using my Gypsy so I just used round about measurements on my Expression!  I ran my blue paper through the D'vine Swirls embossing folder and the Grey through the Mesh folder!  I inked all my edges and Stamped my Spooky...Spooky...Spooky sentiment using the Fall-o-ween Stamps by K. Andrew Designs.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Until next time Happy Craftin!!
