Halloween Cutie but Upside Down card
The scalloped circles are punched by Stampin Up. The purple is up-cycled packaging. And the letters are by Stampin Up. I didn’t notice that it was upside down until I went to put a sentiment on the inside. So, I just put the “Hi” upside down. That’s the third card this month. Anyway, thanks for looking.

The patterned paper is by Creative Memories and the center paper is by Prima. The word "Happy" is an eBay stamp that I heat embossed gold on self-adhesive vellum by Paper Reflections.

October Calendar Layout Brrrr Mom it's Cold Outside
Today is my Mom's birthday. She would have been 76. After she died in July 2019 from complications of dementia and failure to thrive we held a memorial at the funeral home. Then we did a burial of her ashes on her birthday, October 12, 2019. It was so cold that day that I couldn't use normal colors for an October calendar page. The patterned paper on the left is by Recollections and by Basic Gray in the Cricut title. Snowflakes by Maya Road and Jolee's. The border punch is by Fiskars. Thanks for looking.

Happy Dog image colored in with Chalk card
The patterned paper by Moxxie on the bottom and My Mind's Eye on the top. I cut the image and the mat behind it with my trimmer and rounded the corners with a Creative Memories edge rounder. There's a border between the two papers and it is by Martha Stewart. The digital image is by Robyn's Fetish and colored in with powdered chalk mixed with white pearl paint both by Stampin N Plus. Then I came in with colored pencils to finish and add shadows. Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Willow Scenery card

I used different colored ink cubes on a Hero Arts background stamp. The main ink pad for the image is by Lawn Fawn. I’m not very impressed with their ink cubes. The color isn’t as wow as the YouTube content makers make it out to be. I purchased a four-pack and this is my least favorite but I can’t say any of the other ones are any better. I used blue and brown and olive distress ink for the rest of the background. After this sat in my drawer, the year of using things from the drawer, I used the olive cube to make more grass, and then I wanted something out in the distance so I got out my brown cubes and a distress ink blender. It kind of looks like something like mountains or not mountains but smaller mountains. Same Stamp
Thanks for looking.
