Wet
and windy day here today. We did manage to get a walk in this afternoon but it
was a very short walk…about 50 minutes only….and we just made it home when the
rain started again. Turned out to be a very quick rain shower but we didn’t
bother going back out. It was so windy at times I could hardly move forward and
let me tell you when those dried leaves fly up and hit your face, those tiny
hard stems feel like a needle hitting you..ouch! So it was back to the quilting
after the walk.
Yesterday
I received the stamps I ordered from the now American Stamping Bella Company.
The shipping charges charged $13.99 U.S.
and the actual shipping cost $3.54 U.S. for 1st class
postage. Okay! I won’t say any more about that….just thought I’d mention it to
prove my point from previous postings.
Halloween
is fast approaching and I made the three youngest grandchildren Halloween
cards. Here’s Jack’s.
This
was made with a Tim Holtz embossing folder that I picked up on sale at the
Paper Pickle (our local scrapbooking store) a week or so ago. At first I wasn’t
going to bother with it but then I decided I could use it for more than just
for Halloween and went for it. I think it would make a nice birthday card for a
man…like my son-in-law who loves crows…or if I just cut out the embossed crow
and add a tag that says “Just a note” it would be a good thinking of you card.
Lots of options once you think out side the box. But this time it’s a Halloween
card and I simply embossed a piece of black cardstock and ran silver ink over
the entire embossed areas. This made it look almost like metal. I hit just a
few spots with white ink as well. There is a blank spot down at the bottom
right so I embossed the word Spooky in white embossing powder. This is likely
the quickest Halloween card I’ve ever made.
And
that would be all for a Tuesday,
Cheers

Well we are expecting rain Friday!!! 90% chance so one can only hope we will get more than a sprinkle. :) I cannot wait to see what stamps you got! Love the crow card. It does look like metal! Hugs! deb
