Spooky to Spirtual

Hello everyone....hope you are having a great day!!! I have had such a busy week....helping get ready for the church basement sale, visiting my Grandkids at school, and spending time at the school helping some third graders to read. I am sooo excited, too, because I will have company this weekend!!! My friend, Bev (TexasGrammy) is coming and we are going to the Austin Area 2009 SCS Shoebox Swap along with my DD Holly (hbrown) and Fern (FRiley). Whoohoo!!! I can't wait!!! We had sooo much fun last summer when we went to the North Texas Swap. Anyway....stay tuned for some pictures on Sunday!!

I made this card for Wednesday's Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast. Thanks for the great sketch, Roxie....so many possibilities with this one!!! I also made this card for Vicki's (basement stamper) very first Saturday Spotlight Challenge to make a Halloween card with non-Halloween stamps. The Clear Dollar Stamp's Dog Days image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with copics. Lavender Lace was sponged on the sky and Martha Stewart punches were used for the fence and the bats. I had to give the little bats eyes with a white gel pen...couldn't let them fly around blind!!!

This is a set of Christmas cards I made for my Church Holiday Craft Booth in November. I used a piece of retired SU dp and vanilla for all the cards. Various Nesties were used for the matting and all of the stamp sets are Stamping Up. Each envie was stamped with a coordinating image from the set used on the card. I am working on another set using Hero Arts Christmas Trees. I will get it uploaded early next week. Hopefully, I will get ten sets finished along with about 20 chocolate kiss boxes. I may have to beg my DD for a little assist!!!!
