Congrats for Making Chief

Bryan and I made this card together for one of our friends, Chris, who made Chief in the Navy this month. We are really proud of him and we hope that when he receives the card - it will make him happy!

First, I had to search on the internet because I wanted a symbol that represented his new position. Then Bryan sketched out an anchor for me. We used string for the rope and my cricuit to cut out the USN letters. The card is not perfect, it is hard to assemble all those parts with all that glue, but I hope he will just enjoy the thought! I think this was the most challenging card I have ever made.

Trick or Treat with Who's That Girl

I love MFT stamp sets! I loved getting the new :Trick or Treat with Who's That Girl" stamp set and trying out some new techniques.

I tried out paper piercing on her dress and the floor. I made my own hershey kisses as the treats with linen paper, added a little pumpkins to make them pop out on the page. I also had to make her shoes with a little bling, but a little Halloweeny at the same time. I colored the wall paper with watercolors, but used a SU marker for the dots on the wall paper.

This is a fun set!
