Good morning everyone and Happy Friday!

It's Alphabet Challenge time and today's letter is...V for Violet!

For my DT card I used another image out of the Calendar Critters set from Taylored Expressions. It's colored with Copics, I used a Avery Elle die for the stitched rectangle and a Taylored Expressions die for the stitched scalloped frame. I cut the sentiment with a Little Yellow Bicycle die and a Avery Elle die. 

This card was very fun and easy to make but hard to photograph!! I'm not sure what happened, I took several photos and each time the dog looks a bit out-of-focus and everything else looks fine. Oh well... he's still a little cutie anyway! :)

Good morning everyone!

I have a couple of Christmas cards to share today using some stamps from Taylored Expressions. They feature the fabulous Graphic Greetings stamp and I combined them with two of the stamps from the Calendar Critters set... I love this stamp set, all of the images are so cute! :)

And on my second card I stamped the greeting in Onyx Black Versafine ink, the papers are from Doodlebug Design and I used a MS punch for the holly.

I thought I would pop in today and share a few more Halloween cards...   

They feature a cute little Pirate Cat from the Taylored Expressions Critters in Costume stamp set! They are colored with Copics and the sentiment is from the same stamp set.

On my first card I used MFT Office Supplies dies, Avery Elle Wonky Stitched dies and the purple background is a piece of embossed cardstock from Bazzill Dotted Swiss collection.    

For this card I used a MFT Peek-a-Boo Wonky Window die, a Avery Elle die for the Stitched Rectangle and a QuicKuts die for the 'BOO' sentiment. The spider web paper is from Doodlebug Designs and I used a small paper punch for the spiders.

And there you have it... two more not so spooky Halloween cards that I can donate to my local Ronald McDonald House :)
