Happy Thanksgiving! (no artwork)

Hi...I do not have any new artwork to share on this post...I just wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Enjoy the time with your family and friends.

Wreath Card

I made this card using the small snowflake stamp from the Shining Star stamp set to make the wreath. I then thought, I need a bow on the wreath, but I do not have a bow stamp. So I looked through my stamps and saw the Life Is Good (retired) stamp set...I used the flower for each side of the bow and the leaf for the hanging part of the bow.

Glass ornaments (with transparencies)

Below are some ornaments that I made...I stamped on a transparency with Stazon and then colored the back of the image in with permanent markers, rolled up (make sure it is dry) and inserted in the glass ornament.

Trick or Treat Layout

It has been some time since I posted...I have just been really busy the past few weeks.

I had a gathering near Halloween and the hostess requested a SB page for trick or treating photos. This is what I came up with. All items used are CTMH except the gingham ribbon.
The title words and the pumpkin were all stamp kissed using black ink on the Spot On Background Stamp which made them polka-dotted :) I also used black liquid applique on the pumpkin's face.
