Happy Halloween - I Stamped!

Wow it's been AGES since I've stamped.  In fact it's been so long that when I went to use my Cuttlebug Machine I had actually forgotten what the "Sandwhich" menu was for using it and had to look it up on-line!  Now that is bad isn't it.

So what inspired me to get out my stamps and make a card....this adorable card that I received in the mail from Leslie Miller:




What a super wonderful surprise that was - Thank you so much Leslie.  I loved it.  -  So I wanted to send her a card back to show her how much I appreciated her sweet card.  This is what I came up with:  I hope she likes it.

Stamps: Inkadinkado
Paper: Stampin' Up!
Card Stock: SU
Punch - Martha Stewart
Brads - Queen & Company
Prisma Colored Pencils & Gamsol
Bakers Twine.

It was fun stamping again although I felt a bit "rusty" at it so I guess that means I should get my stamps out more often.  Already thinking of Christmas ideas...best get started too because it will be here before we're ready.

Christmas 2 & 3

Since the holiday is behind us now I thought it best to go ahead and share the other 2 designs of my 2014 Christmas cards.  Maybe this will motivate me to start on something else!

The set features is Verve's "Weary World" set. 

If you have questions about what I used on the cards or how they were mailed feel free to e-mail me.

Edited to add that a new meme has started up called,  Roses of Inspiration on Stephanie's blog (The Enchanting Rose) today.  So I'm linking up with this card there as well.

Leaving you here today with one of the 3 designs I made for the few Christmas cards that I sent out this past year.  The stamp set is from
Verve Stamps and is called,  Weary World.  You can find it by following the link.

I know it's late to be posting Christmas cards but I was so behind this past year with getting them made and sent out that I didn't have time to post them.  I'll post the other 2 designs later this week.  It will give you a jump start on ideas for this year!
