The Ghost-ess With The Most-ess

Hello my fellow crafty peeps! Well.... it's Halloween Eve.... what sort of fun things do y'all have planned for tomorrow? We will be doing absolutely nothing. Yay! I've been really lagging on my Halloween/Fall crafting this year so I'll be working on some projects throughout the day. Plus, it's time for me to do a major purge & reorganization of my craft room. Major! Do any of you ever feel like you have so much stuff that it actually stifles your creativity & motivation? That's what I'm dealing with right now, so it's time to take control!

This card is just a quick & simple one I whipped up using the "Creepy Critters" cartridge. I think this little ghost is so adorable!....

Baby Shower Card

Hello crafty friends! I hope you are all having a great week & looking forward to the weekend. The hubs is going fishing this weekend which puts me here at home alone.... yes! Time for a craft-a-thon! Anyway, today I want to share a card I made for my friend's baby shower a few weeks ago.  Every element of this card came from the Anna Griffin card kit called "Playful Pieces". It's geared towards kids so it worked out perfectly.

A Birthday Card and Some Other Stuff

Hello friends! It has been quite a while since I've posted anything but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. Things in my little corner of the world have been quite hectic. My dad gave us a really good scare and had to undergo brain surgery but is on his way to a full recovery with no permanent damage. Thank God!

In addition to that, it looked like the "Valley Fire" was coming straight for us. Luckily for us the wind shifted and blew it right around us. However, many others were not so lucky at all. It completely devastated 3 whole towns and burned over 76,000 acres. So many people lost their homes, farms, animals and even a few loved ones. The main evacuation center is in our area and it is so sad to see all the displaced people and pets. If anyone has ever needed prayers, these people sure do.

On a lighter note, I have a fairly quick birthday card to share with you today. Well, it would have been quick if I didn't fuss with it and add a bunch of extra details. It's a problem I have and I should probably seek professional help, lol. I made this card for a friend's birthday with the new "Artistry" cartridge, which I am loving.  

SIZE:  A2
CRICUT:  Expression 2
CARTRIDGE:  "Artistry"
PAPER:  CTMH; American Crafts
OTHER:  CTMH Liquid Glass; Smooch Pearlized Top Coat; WRMK sequins
