Hello everyone.  I am having "cyber" coffee and sharing cards with Deb and Celeste again today. Our theme for today is Halloween - one of the holidays I really miss from the states.  It's not a typical holiday here and, although there might be some parties and the kids will dress up for school, there is no trick-or-treating and there is no candy corn!!  I know...sad.   For today's hop I am enjoying a cuppa Cinnamon Blueberry Crumble (YUM) in a new cactus mug that Ruy got a few days ago and which gave me an idea for a card but that will be next week and, I digress.      For my card today, I decided to use a digi stamp I have from  Bugaboo Stamps  called  Trick or Treat Feet  and I printed 4 of the images at 90% onto white cardstock.   I trimmed one of the images and colored it using a variety of BIC Ultra Fine Tip Markers  (my favorite markers).  I also layered it on to a piece ...

Hello everyone.  I wanted to share with you guys a card I made for the current challenge over on the If You Give A Crafter A Cookie Challenge Blog .  This is Challenge No. 105 and the inspiration photo for the challenge is -  I wanted to make a Halloween card but not a typical card with typical colors or images.  I found this great image called " Have A Magical Evening " from a store on Etsy called  All Dressed Up . I started by printing the image at 60% on white cardstock, I cut it using the 2nd largest die from A2 Matting Basics A ( S5-131/Spellbinders ).  Then I colored it using Ultra Fine Tipped BIC Markers . I made an A2 card base of white cardstock and adhered a piece of black cardstock to the front.  Using the largest die from A2 Matting Basics B ( S5-132/Spellbinders ), I cut a piece of apricot colored cardstock.   I adhered the apricot cardstock to the card front and then the piece with the image to the apri...
