Halloween Stocking FMS7







It has been a yucky day here in Kentucky temperatures are falling and it has been raining all day. The Weather Channel is predicting a high tomorrow of only 47...YIKES I am not ready for it to be that cold. I came straight home from work and made some cards to brighten my day and help me try to forget that I will be freezing tomorrow lol.

My oldest daughter LOVES Tim Burton films and her favorite is Nightmare before Christmas. When I checked out Rita Wright’s adorable Stocking Christmas card at Freshly Made Sketches I got the idea to try a Halloween stocking in honor of Jack Skellington. I totally cased her card. I used Martha Stewart’s goop punch for the top of the stocking and everything else used on this card is SU. I usually like to make a couple of cards with each sketch challenge I try. On the second card I made for this challenge I used CTMH set Thriller and a CTMH purple jewel for the eye on the skull. The Halloween ribbon is from Michael’s, pattern paper, cardstock and ink are SU. I still have many more Halloween cards to make before next weekend so I will be busy busy in my craft room. Thanks for stopping by!!

MOJO211 Spice Cake





Happy Tuesday everyone!! Guess what…..I am a perfect princess this week on the freshly made sketches Blog. Linda Callahan picked my wicked chick card from my last post. I am very excited and being picked just made my day…actually it made my week!! Thanks so much Linda!!

I have been out today getting goodies for my Halloween treats and I plan to work on them and post pics next week. In the mean time….I hopped over to Mojo Monday Blog to check out the sketch for this week and I loved it. The first stamp set that came to mind is a CTMH set I got from my sister this summer “Find Your Style” and also the yummy fall paper from SU “Spice Cake” I had to change up the sketch a little and place the accordion accent at the top corner instead of the bottom. It just fit better there. I am really lovin’ those accordion medallions so you will most likely see more of them in the coming weeks. Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!! Thanks for visiting.
