MY OCTOBER OSC WATERFALL CARD...

Hello Everyone! I wanted to show you what I made for my GGF Janis who was my partner for Teri's OCS. Thanks Teri for always organizing this FUN card swap ... you are just the GREATEST!!! Okay, last month, Teri was kind enough to teach me, Linda, Joy and Janis how to make a waterfall card. What I decided to make was a 5x5 card ... yes I Linda I do like it BIG ... LOL! I used my Smirk stamps that my BFF (you all know who that is) gave me. Here's how my card turned out...

I'm really happy how it turned out and thanks again Teri for teaching us how to make it. Thanks for stopping by and until we talk again ... THINK POSITIVE THOUGHTS!!!

LITTLE C'S STAMP N' SCRAP HAWAII CHALLENGE...

Hi Everyone ... sorry for being MIA for so long! I decided to participate in Little C's Stamp n' Scrap Hawaii Himawari Babies challenge. I had fun making this card and wanted to keep it in the spirit of Halloween. I used this cute HB image, Paper Shaper tree and spider punches, MS fence and bat punches, and dew drops. I used pop dots on the bats to give them more dimension. I hope you like it...

Thank you everyone for always leaving me encouraging comments, and until we talk again ... LOOK TO THE FUTURE WITH BRIGHT EYES!!!
