Happy Halloween!

 Happy Halloween!  I wish like when I was a kid I could say all the kiddos got to come to school in costume, but my district doesn't allow that anymore.  I won't say I understand or even know the district policy so I am not criticizing either way on this policy only stating that I wish the kiddos could have memories like I did.

Here's a cutie from Pink & Main for Halloween

Hope it brings a smile to your face.  Check out the store and get some fun stuff from Turkiye! LacePlaceByHolley - Etsy

Black Cat

 Here's a black cat card to celebrate the Halloween. This card comes from SEI. I just love their card kits.  They don't seem to work as much in the card making realm as they used to, but I LOVE their supplies, esp their beautiful papers.  Just five more nights to Halloween. I look forward to seeing the kiddos.

Happy Fall

 I guess a month into fall I should start showing some fall theme cards, lol.  My DH pointed that out to me and then laughed at why I don't think about it being fall because it's usually still 100 degrees outside in Texas at the end of September. I don't even begin thinking about fall until well into October. (Like about now, lol)

I made this card from leftovers from the Photoplay kit along with some yummy Turkish Lace.

I heart Fall

 Here's a cute card that I made from Embellishments by Simple Stories.  It's not from a card making kit rather just simple stories papers and sticker sets.  I recall making this at the last scrapbook convention where I worked like a maniac making something like 178 cards!  (4 days!)

Together

 Happy Saturday everyone!  So happy to have a weekend break from school.  This time (from labor day to thanksgiving) is a long run with no real days off to start the school year.  Then we will start having breaks periodically to break up the time until the end of the year (which is too long away to even think about now).  I haven't posted a card for the DH lately, so here's one for him...

Boo!

BOO!  here's a fun Kitty card for Halloween.  I think this was my favorite paper in the pack for this set.  Their card kits leave a lot of extra materials so that you can make many extra cards or different cards.  The kit comes from SEI.  Every once in a while they would go on sale and I would pick up a bunch of them at once.

Pick of the Pumpkin Patch

 One this I have been seeing a lot of, since like AUGUST is pumpkin!!  WOO HOO. I do love pumpkin.  In fairness, given that fall doesn't even start until late Sept, August seems a bit early.  Then again, craft stores have been filled to the brim with Christmas theme since JUNE!  SIGH.

You're Special

 I made this cute bear card from a kit by Krazy Kreations.  I went to a craft show in Irving, Texas and they were one of the booths.  They sell card kits that make three cards.  I got this cute one and made three DIFFERENT cards with my kit.

Love Birds

 Happy Monday everyone!  Can you believe we are a week into October already.  It's two months of school at this point.  WOW.  I have the cutest 2 yr old class of kiddos.  Plus I don't know if i had mentioned this on my blog, but I actually got hearing aids of my own.  Now I have a better understanding of my children's hearing though typically their hearing loss is more severe than mine.

I got this gorgeous embellishment when I traveled in Austria.  The stunning lace is from Turkiye.

Hey Pumpkin

 Here's a pumpkin themed card for Halloween that I made from an SEI kit.  Little dissapointed in how this photographed as the image has orange foil on it but it doesn't show up.  Either in a photo or a scanner.  It's really a lot prettier than it looks here.

Choose Joy

I love the fall theme colors of this card. It's really one of my favorite color sets.  Baking theme also makes me think of fall time.  Choose Joy!  How true is that.  Makes me think of travel, which makes me so very happy.  Travel or thinking about travel.  Selling lace so I can travel. LOL.  What a life.

Thinking of you

 Here's a great Mandala, which is actually a sticker with added bling.  I think it looks totally elegant on this card.  I got this sticker from a wonderful artist at a craft fair at my local Creative Reuse store.  She had beautiful handmade projects and in addition these beautiful, printed stickers of her work.  I just had to grab a couple to make cards with.
