Glittered Kindness

Hi Friends! Happy Labor Day if you are celebrating here in the US :) Hope you don't have to work! I feel fortunate to have had most of the weekend off besides an 8 hr shift on Saturday. Just a quick lil' card here to share. This week, Sharon is challenging us all to pull out our JustRite Stamps & make some Glitter Magic for this week's JustRite Friday Challenge...

Hi There! Thanks so much to all who played along with last week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge! So many fabulous projects! Here today with an all new sketch. Rather than making a card, I made a lil' home decoration wall hanging for my dear sister, Tina who takes care of my fur babies while I am out of town using the new Spellbinders™ Grand Nestabilities®...

Happy Birthday Mother...WMSC13

Hi Friends! Time for another Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge! Thanks to all who played along last week, there were once again so many gorgeous projects!I made this card for my Mother-In-Law, Barbara, who will be celebrating her 79th Birthday on September 10th.

Hi Friends! Thanks so much for the sweet comment on my Halloween banner that I made for the Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps September Blog Waltz. Here today to share this card I made for this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. This card is rather Clean And Simple for me. I inked up Musical Backgrounds to create the background for the top layer & paired it with some pretty My Mind's Eye DP.....

This Halloween card is my first card posted on my new blog! I am so excited I finally got it together! Hopefully, my blog will only get better! I made this Halloween card for my co-workers and friends.
This card is made from SU Only Orange CS. The SU Lovely Lilac borders are with the Cuttlebug a2 embossing border with love. Other SU CS used was: Summer Sun, Certainly Celery, Green Galore and Elegant Eggplant.
The stamped images are from the SU Bitty Boo Too stamp set on SU Whisper White CS using VersaMagic Chalk inks and embossed with JoAnn Craft Essentials clear embossing powder. I punched the images out with a EK Success 3/4" square punch then layered each using EK Success 1" square punched CS.
I pierced around the square scalloped edges then adhered the images and squares together with 3M double sided tape. With all my pieces assembled, I then adhered them to the Heidi Grace orange striped CS. My final steps included attaching two black JoAnn Craft Essential brads and stamping the sentiment on the inside.
Hope you like it! Trick or Treat!
