Family Halloween Cards 2009

I have been busy in my new craft room. I have been working with My Favorite Thing Stamps (which I love, they are up there on my favorite thing list). I worked hard on giving the lady a spider dress while she serves the tricker treaters spiders. I added some other spiders hanging around. I enjoyed making this card even though it took two nights of brain storming and working hard.

The Craft Room

The craft room is finally put together. We painted the drabby neutral walls 2 tones of green and added chair railing for an accent. I will enjoy this room for a little while. I put together my desk and organized it which took several days! However, stamping now is so much easier and I assume scrapbooking will be too. I plan on making a couple of Christmas gifts here along with my Christmas cards for the year.

MFT Disco Challenge

I have really loved this MFT Disco Challenge this week! I worked on this card inside my mind for about two days. I envisioned a young 20 something girl coming home from the disco to her 70 style apartment with her own disco ball. She flips off her shoes, throws them across the room and calls her best friend to talk about all the happenings of the night.

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.
