Wicked Witch From the Wizard of Oz

Is there anyone else out there that these feet remind them of the witches feet hanging out from under Dorothy's house when she lands in Munchkin Land in the Wizard of Oz? I love this stamp. I borrowed it from one of my friends and she got it for a $1 at Michaels. She got this designer paper from Hobby Lobby very cheap also and she gave me a sheet of it. She's a great friend. Love you, Janet!! TFL!!

Halloween, Here I Come

This is the first time in my life that I have ever created a Halloween card. I had some friends over Friday night to stamp and I actually made 4 Halloween cards. I will post 2 today and save the other 2 for tomorrow.

I have seen some cards on SCS using a spectrum pad and a brayer. Of course I had to try it and I love how it turned out. I brayed the ink on glossy paper and it gives it a much brighter look. I then rolled the Spooky wheel over that. TFL!!

I'm Slowly Getting Some Christmas Cards Done

I'm slowly but surely getting a few of my Christmas cards done. What I need to do is find one that would be easy to duplicate and do several at one sitting. All my friends know that I don't normally like to do but one of each card. That makes it hard to produce very many cards at a time but at least I'm getting a lot of originals. I hope you like this one. TFL!!

SC142 - I'm Hung Up on This Set

Yes, I'm hung up on this set. It's makes the prettiest cards. I really hope they put this in the Idea Book & Catalog next year. It is so versatile. I stamped the tree with green and then took my thumb and wiped the ink off the star and the trunk and then colored them with a marker. I think it makes the tree look much better and that's the easiest way I have figured out to do it. TFL!!
