Good Morning!

Good Morning everyone! I hope today finds you all well.

Yesterday was not such a bad day. We drove out to see Betty where she was camping and took her TAC order to her. Not bad, huh? How's that for customer service :)

I wanted to get some crafting done, but the day seemed to slip by. I'm not sure where it went to. I looked at the clock last night and it was 7:00p.m. and thought "we didn't even have supper!" Time just sort of got away from me. I did have time to finish a card I was working on. I wanted to make a card for this weeks sketch challenge 192 over at SCS so I did. I'm in Halloween mode right now.

For the base card I used Basic Black. A must have staple at Halloween ~ and I have plenty of it!
I layered the card with paper from SU!'s Ghostly Greetings collection. I'm so going to get more to keep on hand because I'm sure it will retire.

I stamped the image from SU! Just Fiends set and colored it with my pencils and gamsol then layered it on to a piece of Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black. It looked a little lonely there so I stamped the sentiment from TAC's Spooktacular in white on black paper and layered that on to a piece of Pumpkin Pie I punched out with my scallop punch. I layered it on to the paper with pop dots, I think it looks much better.

Now lot's of you were asking for directions on how to make the tri-fold card that I made. It's very simple.

Take a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of paper. Score it at 2 1/2" and 5 3/4". On the 2 1/2" score line cut the paper down to 3 1/2" and on the 5 3/4" score line cut the paper down to 4 1/4". Cover each front section with DP or stamped cs. To make the belly band just use a piece of cs that is 6 1/2" and decorate the front with different punches or flowers, whatever is desired.

Told ya, very easy!

I think that today I will get some more crafting done - so hopefully tomorrow I will be able to post more to show you.

So far I've only got 4 people to play in my "Birthday Candy" game. Does no one want to play? I will run the game thru the end of the week and draw a winner on September 12th. You don't have to send me a card. Just make a card, post it on your blog and link it back to me. Make sure that you post a message on my blog so I know that you did it. Easy, fun and a chance to win some goodies for yourself.

Have a great rest of your weekend!

Hugs,
Joani
