More Pumpkins!!

 Hello everyone: AS ALWAYS, i HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES ARE DOING WELL, STAYING HEALTHY AND SAFE.

wE'VE ARRIVED AT THE HALF WAY POINT FOR THE 2 OLD BATS HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE, THIS IS OUR MOOD BOARD TO INSPIRE YOU TO PLAY ALONG.

******************************************

I've been having all kinds of fun making cards for this challenge, I think what attracted me so much are the golden touches on our inspiration picture, besides, I truly love making Halloween cards, I used to wait till maybe September, to start making cards for friends and family, mainly my grandchildren when they were little.

I still make them, but now it's more for my friends who share my love for Halloween images, don't get me wrong, I like all the other celebration dates through the year but, Halloween.......well........you can't deny that the images on these stamps are simply fabulous and fun.

THIS IS MY CARD.

*************************************************

tHIS IS THE INSIDE

and this is what I used.

1.- This stamp is very old, the first time I used it was back in 2015 on this card, I love these pumpkins, I don't know what they are arguing about but, whatever it is, they look soo menacing, lol!!

2.- the raven is from a 2010 Stampin' up! set called "dark and dreary"

3.- the branch is from "memory box".

4.- the sentiment is from "witching you a happy Halloween" from power poppy.

I hope you come and play along with us over at "2 old bats Halloween challenge", when October rolls around you'll be happy to have some cards to send out.

Please, stay healthy and safe.

 Hello everyone: As always, I hope you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe.

***************************************************************

It's been a while since I made a baby card, no one that I know is having babies any time soon but who knows, my daughters have co-workers and they have grandchildren who might have a sweet announcement in the future, so I want to be ready, the SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge for the next 10 days is "Power of Pastels", so this gave me the best reason to dust off these sweet and adorable and ohh!! so vintage sets.

 Hello, everyone: As always, I hope you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe.

********************************************************

It's time for a new challenge over at RETRO RUBBER, this is the mood board to inspire you to come and play along. 

Here's my card, I left the front and inside without a sentiment, just so I can stamp one as needed.

*************************************************

This is the inside.

And this is what I used.

Power Poppy "In Praise of Sunflowers" (2016)

The Ladybug charm is from Stampin' Up!

I cut the bloom and the leaves from the flower, put painter's tape behind them to be able to fussy cut these pieces easily, then, I glue the big flower to the panel and glue these pieces back. 

*********************************************

Thank you for stopping by today, your comments are very much appreciated and they always make my day.

Please stop by the RETRO RUBBER CHALLENGE BLOG for more inspiration from my fabulous teammates.

Don't forget that at least one of the stamps you use has to be older than a year, this challenge is dedicated to our older sets.

Until next time, stay healthy and safe.

A Doggie and Kitty Tag for LIM.

 Hello everyone: As always, I hope you and your families are doing well, staying healthy and safe.

****************************************

I have this cute tag to share today, created with some of the most adorable DSP from Stampin' Up! I've ever seen.

********************************************

This is the inside.

And this is what I used.

The doggie and kitty are fussy cut from "Pampered Pets" DSP.  I'm not too fond of DSP because, as you can see here, I just couldn't bring myself putting these adorable animals under on a card but the other side of this particular DSP has designs I can easily use this way.

Christmas Lights from "Whimsy Stamps"

Power Poppy "Merry Littles" for "Peace"

Power Poppy "Poinsettia" for the sentiment inside

Penny Black "A Bright Tomorrow" for the snowflake.

I want to play with:

"Less is More"

Thank you for stopping by today, your comments always make my day.

Please stay healthy and safe.
