Hello there,
I wanted to share a couple of cards I made last year that I hadn't posted before, and there is some news I wanted to share as well. Looking at these cards brings back such fond memories for me because I remember how much fun I had making them. :o) Here's a Halloween one...
:o)
I die-cut the monster and then loosely traced around him with pencil onto a piece of vellum to create his ghost costume. Vellum is great for making ghost characters!
Since it's Halloween, I also wanted to share this link to some Halloween Pet Safety Tips.
Towards the end of last week, another supply sale was completed, so I just finished making another donation to Rolling Dog Farm. The sale amount was $67, but I just rounded it up to $70. Thank you again to those who bought things from me.
Some incredibly sad news was posted on Rolling Dog Farm's blog here about a dog I love so much named Patti. She is such an inspiration to me that I have her picture on our desk. I mentioned her before in a post I wrote in the summer, where I had also mentioned this video about Rolling Dog. You'll see Patti in this video and hear some of her story. I had this hope and dream that one day, I would get to visit the farm and meet her and the other amazing animals there. I'm just so sad about the news. Tomorrow is a special occasion for us, so I'm going to make another donation to the farm then, for my little guy.
If I could give Patti a card, it would be this one. <3
Hello, folks!
I'm stopping in to say a big thank you to those who bought things during my supply sale! Of the orders that have been completed to date, $245.00 was raised. I just sent a $250 donation to Rolling Dog Farm. Thank you so much, everybody! Last week, they welcomed this little guy and this little lady to the farm. :o) Precious, aren't they? And this post featuring Soba from earlier this month gave me the giggles, so I wanted to share the link -- what a smile! :o)
I'll have another supply sale in the spring in hopes of being able to send them another heftier donation like this. Thank you again!!
In other news, I'm only horribly late in drawing a winner for the Paper Crafts Holiday Cards & More giveaway! I am so sorry about that, folks! I've been quite preoccupied lately, and things seem to slip my mind a lot more often. The winner is...drum roll...Lin! Congratulations! I'll be sending you an e.mail for your snail mail address!
Thanks for stopping by today!
Hello, folks!
Today is the last day of projects for Lawn Fawn October inspiration week! We're featuring the My Cup of Tea stamp set today! Here's the card I made to share with you...
:o)
Lately, I've been making a bunch of things with this sort of 'puzzle' idea in mind -- I'm having a lot of fun just stamping and seeing how different stamp images can fit together! I'm also playing around with crafting with a looser style because I think I worry too much about making things straight a lot of the time!
For this card, I ended up using all of the stamps from the set except for 'tea-rific'. My first attempt at a project for today was a whole background stamped with the steam image from the set. I goofed it up by stamping other images over the background, making it look a little too busy, but the steam image does make for a neat-lookin' swirly background!

Hello, folks!
Today is the first day of projects for Lawn Fawn October inspiration week! We're featuring the Winter Fox mini stamp set today! Here's what I made...
:o)
I love hand stamped gift wrap...I think it has a charm about it. I just stamped one fox, then turned the stamp upside down to stamp the next fox, and continued that pattern across the kraft paper. Very simple! I used some of my favourite ribbon to dress up the gift -- I love that blue! I think I'm sort of okay with tying twine, but I'm bow-tying-challenged when it comes to tying ribbon bows, so I use a handy tool called the Bow-Easy. Here is one place where you can find it.

In related news, I just wanted to share that I'll be stepping down from the Lawn Fawn team after this month. It's been a blast being a part of this team! I'll go into more detail at the end of inspiration week. Hope you'll visit again tomorrow for a Sally's ABCs project!
Thanks for stopping by today! :o)
