21 Day Challenge

I am taking the 21 Day Challenge.  Thanks to my sweet friend Heidi for sending me this link.   I think we all could be a little kinder to ourselves and I love this idea!  I'll be posting my progress which starts today.  Wish me luck!

I know Halloween has passed, but I wanted to show you a card I made that I thought was so darn cute!  This little Tilda was dressed up like a bat.  I colored her with Copic markers and used Glossy Accents on her bat wings to give them a shiny effect.  You can find the stamp at Magnolicious Store.  The bat is just a ribbon with a simple knot, then you cut the "wings" on each side.  The "Boo to You" stamp I got at a local stamp store that I love, love, love.   If you give Gary a call to order the stamp, tell him Tracy in Fayetteville is sending him love from my blog.  The "moon" and the purple background was created by using my Memento ink pads.  I masked off the moon prior to creating the purple background.  It was so fun.  The background paper I got in various place, but I really want to point out the "sparkly" paper.  I'm not sure if you can see it well, but it was purchased from Wal-Mart and I LOVE it!  It's perfect for this type of background.  It came in a package of black and white sparkly papers.  It's so fun!

 

I hope you love this card.  Give me your thoughts...

Check out the 21 day challenge.  It only takes 21 days to start a new habit.  I hope you start a new habit that takes care of YOU!

Witchy Woman!

As I stated in my last post, the weather was expected to cool down this week in Georgia and it has not let me down.  We had a high of 72 today and it was delightful.  My windows were opened last night and when I awoke, it was a crisp 58 degrees!  Now, I won't always talk about weather on my blog, but as you know, if you've been reading my blog, I DO love the Fall so much.  Crisp air, sweats, candy corn and football are all things that contribute to my feelings of euphoria!

While I was at retreat, I made several cards.  This one is ready for Halloween!  This little Tilda stamp is all dressed up in her Witch's costume.  She looks far from frightful, so I thought the scary "BEWARE" was so cute to add to it.  

I colored her with Copic markers.  The stamp is from Magnolialicious.  I also used my Gellyroll Pen, which I love, love, love.  It give sparkles to anything!  I used Glossy Accents for her shoes in order to give them a "patent leather" look.  They are so shiny and cute! 

The "Beware" came from the October 31 Cricut cartridge.   I hope she gets you in the mood for a "Not so scary" Halloween!
