 Hello-

I am on the night shift again.  It had better right itself by months end. My Dad is coming to visit for a few weeks.  I can't be up all night and asleep all day while hes here.

I managed to make several cards for Halloween.  I need an early start as I won't be crafting much in October.  I've made 3-4 of each, and am halfway to my goal.

They will be visiting galleries at Inky Paws Challenge, Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge and Tic Tac Toe Challenge 279.

First up Inky Paws Challenge -Fall/Halloween:

 Love Newton peeking out of this very witchy boot!

 Next Up Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge:

 Linda sent these Haunted House diecuts to me in 2024.  I just did not have time to play with them as we were house hunting and doing a fair bit of traveling.  SO unpacking one of my desk organizers made me so happy to find these.  I added those adorable ghosts from SSS to make it a bit less scary. I like cute Halloween not scary stuff.

Loll, had me so intrigued with her O filled Joy cards last year ( linked to the most recent I found), when I saw this BOO die, I had to follow her lead. Next time I will mark the bottom of the cut outs so that they are stamped on not so windy a day...lol. I chose the center row. Large sentiment, Three or More Colors, Stamped Image.

 Greetings -

Wow another month has flown by.  We've been in our new home 6 months now.  I love it and most everything has found a place.

Today's card is a thank you for a friend who sent along some kitty kat dies. So I thought I'd make a playful card with them. 

I do love those postage style dies, this is a new one from Newton's Nook Designs.

This was a fun and quick card to put together.

• Inks:  Altenew Pinkalicious, Lavendar Fields
• Papers:  PTI Lovely Lady, Hammermill
• Scrapbook.com Sub sentiments Thanks

Thanks much for visiting.
