November Thoughts

Thanksgiving will be here in less than 3 weeks! How did that happen??? It always seems like the fall holidays just pass so quickly, then before you know it, it's the start of a new year - AAACCKKK!

Anyway, I've been thinking ahead (for once!) about Thanksgiving and created a project for the Basically Bare blog - a canvas to remind me to be thankful for the things in my life. (The details are all on the BB blog.)

I guess I should also be thinking about Christmas, such as cards. Before I know it, Thanksgiving will be done and gone...yikes!

Hope you are having a great weekend! Be sure to catch the fall colors if you can. A little bit of rain has made it difficult to catch the changing leaves on the trees here.  ;)

Happy Halloween!

I can't believe how fast this month has flown! Here it is, the last day of October - I have no idea what I've done this month, lol! But, I do have a couple of Halloween projects to share.

First up is a Halloween card created for the Basically Bare blog. I kept looking at the bird forms and thinking about Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven. Finally, I just looked up the poem and chose a particular passage I thought was appropriate for the card. I really like how the bird turned out. My favorite part of it - the eye I created using a dot of Stickles. It looks very cool in real life, trust me!

My Lil Punkin by cyranoscrap

The second project is a layout from a Halloween photo taken last year. The little guy was still in the hospital at the time, so there wasn't really any Halloween celebration for him. However, the nurses in the hospital were so nice. When I walked in that morning, there was a little Halloween tag hanging on his "bed."

Since I couldn't put a costume on him, the pumpkin hat given to me by a friend was perfect.

Enjoy your Halloween today and stay safe!  :)

New Card Projects

I haven't made cards in awhile, but for today's Basically Bare blog post, you'll find a couple of cards that aren't quite my usual style. Get the details on the BB blog!
