Try Stampin on Tuesday #191

Good morning Try Stampin on Tuesday fans! It is the week of
Halloween! Anyone have any plans? Have trick or treating kids?
My family is having a party out at there house. Mostly
people from church will be there. We will have some games
and probably play capture the flag. They live on 2 acres
so there is perfect space for it! Are y'all ready for another challenge?

This week's Sketch:


This week's optional theme: Black, Orange, and Yellow.


Here is my take, I didn't have any Halloween paper with yellow
 on it so I substituted purple (thistle) for yellow:

Sketch N Scrap National Card Month challenge #4

Good morning Sketch N Scrap fans! Hope your having a 
great fall weekend! Halloween is next Friday! 
My family is hosting the Halloween party this year!
It is Walking Dead themed! You must come dressed as a 
zombie or zombie hunter. We will have a maze through
the 6 feet tall grass at the back of the property and also
have zombie paper targets set up for throwing knives and
shooting bows. No guns since it'll probably be getting
dark and also we might have some children over too.

Anyways, the last National Card Month theme challenge
is "Halloween or use orange."

Here is my Halloween card:

Technostamper Sketch #336

Good morning crafty friends! It's Friday! I took off
work today as the hubby and I are about to leave to go
to Texas with my family. I hadn't done any crafting
all week so I decided to put together a quick and simple

current sketch from Technostamper and flipped it on it's side.
I thought it was a great sketch to use my new stamp sets.

Good morning crafty friends! Hope y'all are having 
a great week! It's been a bit slow at work and
I've gotten a little time off because it is fall break here.
Most of our surgeons have school aged children
so they take at least part of the week off. It's a nice break
though because November and December are always
crazy busy! Before I head out this morning I wanted 
to share a card I made the other day following 
the current sketch from Mojo Monday.




Enabler's List:

Paper: CTMH Yuletide
Stamps: Verve Peace on Earth and Unto Us
Ink: CTMH Ruby and Black

Mojo Monday 366

Good morning crafty friends! I hope y'all are having a great
week so far! Tomorrow is Friday! It has been a busy
week for me with work and trying to get some things done
for going out of town tomorrow. I has also been doing
a little too much standing in one place at work
this week while wearing my xray lead so I've been having
some back and hip issues... My right hip was hurting 
so bad when I got home last night, my hubby decided that 
when I was standing next to my machine to take the
xrays that I was leaning on my right leg the whole
time and that,s why it's hurting so bad... Now that I think
about it, I'm pretty sure he's right. I have to try to keep
both feet flat on the ground! Wearing lead that's 1/5 
or 1/6 your body weight all day doesn't help either...
Anyways after hubby gave me a massage and I took a 
hot shower hubby told me I had mail waiting on my desk.
It was my new goodies from Verve!! I was so happy
to get then that even though I just wanted to lay down I 
decided to made a card really quick, I just had to use them!

For this card I followed the current sketch at Mojo Monday.





Enabler's List:

Paper: CTMH Snow Haven
Stamps: Verve Unto Us and Peace on Earth
Ink: CTMH Cranberry, Glacier, and Black
Misc: CTMH Black striped ribbon, Verve clear sequins, and
Verve Classy Labels Die and Unto Us dies
