It's almost the weekend!

Yup, it's almost the weekend! And I'm excited it's finally Thursday. I've been waiting and waiting for today to come. Why? Because the season of CSI finally starts!! I love all the CSI shows, and this one is my favorite. Bad news though that Grissom is leaving this season. How?! He's the biggest part of the show!! I'm not sure how it will be without him, especially since they've got Laurence Fishburne taking his place. Well, we can only hope that he comes back....

I've got a couple of things to show you today. I've been in my craft room working away. I hope that you like them.

The base card is Basic Black that I layered with Pumpkin Pie and some DP that I bought a long time ago that does not have any maker on it. I stamped the images from Best Fiends and Web Wishes and colored them in with pencils. I used my Sakura gel pen on the web as you can see it's sparkly! I also added a length of orange ribbon.

I added a piece of Pumpkin Pie layered on to Basic Black to the card with the sentiment before I added the image panel.

I sponged around the image panel with black ink, layered it on to Basic Black cs and attached it to the card with pop dots.

Here's a fall card that I made for a swap that I am in. I was a little behind on getting these out. Actually when I sign up for a swap I do the cards right away so they are ready. This time I slacked a little, but they are still in the mail be deadline time.

The base card is Really Rust. I layered it with Chocolate Chip and some DP that I punched the corners with my corner punch from All Night Media. But before I added that to the card I laid down a piece of gold ribbon to tie. The image is from Great Impressions that I've had for years. I stamped it and colored it with my pencils and gamsol. I sponged Chocolate Chip ink around the image and layered it on to a piece of Chocolate Chip and a piece of Gold cs. I added the sentiment Autumn from Ann-ticipations that I stamped on Really Rust with Chocolate Chip ink. I layered that on to Chocolate Chip and Gold cs and attached it to the card with pop dots. I added some stickles to just parts of the image for just a little "pop".

I made this next card for a friend of mine, Betty last week. I did not want to post it because she did not have it yet. Our "play date" was cancelled and she did not come over. But she stopped by this week and I gave it to her so now I can post it. She was Member of the Month on my MSN site and I wanted to give her a card to make her feel a little special.

The base card is Chocolate Chip. I layered it with Bliss Blue (yes, I still have a pack of it), Chocolate Chip and some DP from Paper Trey Ink that Betty gave me Ü

I stamped the image from On the Move and colored it with my pencils. I sponged Chocolate Chip ink around that panel and layered that with Bliss Blue and Chocolate Chip paper. The sentiment in the corner I stamped in Chocolate Chip and layered on to the scraps. I'm happy to say that she liked it!

Well - that's enough for today. I do have a couple more things to show you but they will have to wait til tomorrow.

Have a great day!
Hugs, Joani
