Fall Swap

Super simple layering leaves for fall swap (and a lotta alliteration)!

T.P. Mummy

When I saw the mummy in the Googly Ghouls stamp set I knew I wanted to incorporate toilet paper into whatever I made with it. The problem was that when I tried using the t.p. it kept ripping and coming apart, which made me frustrated. After giving the idea a break I finally went back to it and just went for it, not really knowing what it was going to look like. While working I decided to keep it simple and try not to do too many details so the t.p. stayed together and was easy to work with.


Because this is a Halloween card, I'm also adding it to Week 6 of the Great Pumpkin Blog Hop. Check out what others have done this week using the links below!

Blue Angel

A few weeks ago one of my close friends left for basic training for the Navy. Her goal is to fly planes for the Navy, particularly the Blue Angels. I made a card to send her since we can't see, call or text her. I used the plane from the Need for Speed stamp set and colored it to look like a Blue Angel.

Silly Witch, Candy is for Kids!

I have been SO behind on making cards and projects!

13 Weeks of Halloween Fun!

But I'm back now and for Week 5 of the Great Pumpkin Blog Hop I decided to make a quick 3D project rather than a card like I've been doing, however I had no idea what to do. After thinking for awhile I decided to make a cute little witch - the bag contains her green "skin" and the topper is a huge, fuzzy witch's hat!

Week 3 of 13 Weeks of Halloween

I almost forgot about this! Today is the last day of Week 3 of the Great Pumpkin Blog Hop and I wanted to make sure I didn't miss out.


So, I quickly (quickly for me, anyway) came up with a card using a stamp I've been wanting to use for awhile - Frightening Feline. I really had no idea what to do, so I just started playing around. Some things worked and some didn't, but I think the end result came out looking pretty nice.


Button Snail

I made a stack of these Thank You cards for my friend that just had her baby. I know his new room is animal-themed so I wanted to keep that idea like I did with the frog card from before. I also wanted to keep the cards fairly simple since I wouldn't be making just one of them.

Punch Art Frog

One of my friends from high school had a baby a little over a week ago, so I made a cute card for her new little boy! I love the little frog stamp from the Ronald McDonald House Charity Stamp Set so I stamped him multiple times and punched it out using the ticket punch.

I needed something larger as the focus of the card, but didn’t think the other stamps fit my vision. So I decided to play around and ended up coming up with this adorable punch art frog! I, of course, added googly eyes, which I think add to the cuteness of the card.


I chose the colors for the card
  1. because they're boy-ish, and
  2. because they are the colors for this week's challenge at Create with Connie & Mary:
