Happy Halloween

Card #2 for Halloween.  I'm waiting for the windshield repair tech to arrive and either fix or replace my windshield.  A HUGE stone flew into my windshield yesterday and created a HUGE splat.    The noise of the stone hitting the windshield was frightening. 

Love these squiggles.  The die cut can be used for lots of shapes.  This one was a bit larger which did not quite fit so I trimmed the outer edge.   The card looked a little drab.  I pulled out the Wink of Stella and added sparkle to the pumpkin and sentiment.  Much better.

Anything Goes with Simon Says Stamp Challenge

Lately I have been noticing Halloween cards on Pinterest so I thought I better get started on a couple.  Halloween will be here before I know it and I want at least a few cards!

This card is similar to one I saw on Pinterest (with which I am still having issues - grrrr).  My ribbon stash includes a roll of ribbon that looks like a spider web though I think it is meant to be black lace.  It is perfect for Halloween. 

For an added touch, I inked the edges of the main card and the center background card with my gold ink pen.  Look at the bottom right corner.  Don't you just love it.    I think it really adds a lot and finishes the card nicely.

Sweet Wishes

I have had this pineapple die for some time now and wonder if I have used it correctly?  The die does not cut the pineapple shape as I had to fussy cut around the edges.  This is a cute pineapple as the leaves and pineapple pop out.   I will have to play with it some more and search for examples on Pinterest.

Speaking of Pinterest -- is anyone having issues with it?   I have created quite a few boards and arranged them mostly in alphabetical order.  Sometime in the last week, my boards were all mixed up with the latest viewed or saved to boards coming up first.  And I'm not able to rearrange the boards.  The top 'line' of the Pinterest page seems to be different, too.  I have messaged Pinterest, but have not heard back yet.

Anyhow, here is my pineapple card:

Happy Birthday in Pink

Pink is such a lovely color.  I must like it cause when I look at my t-shirts and sleeveless shirts, I seem to have quite a few....

So here is a happy birthday card in all pinks and white pearls.  Simple, pretty and feminine and I have someone in mind for it.
