Happy Halloween

Hi All,

I don't usually send Halloween cards, but last year the kids were having such a rough time with lockdown that I decided it was the perfect opportunity to cheer them all up, and send some pennies for sweeties. 

I had such fun, that I decided that I would do it again this year.

I chose some fabulously colorful images from Polkadoodles.

On this card made for my youngest Grandchildren I added them over a large spiders web with some added sparkle paste.

The background panel uses texture paste and a spiders web stencil from Dutch Doobadoo along with Tim Holtz Distress Ink and Oxide sprays.

I decided on the background panel after being inspired in the Stencils and Pastes class by my friend Jenny.

I made several cards for little people amongst my friends and family

and enclosed a few pennies for them to buy sweeties.

I fussy cut the coloured images,

and added sentiments from a fabulous stamp set from Simon Says Stamp that I have had for a while.

One recipient has a birthday a few days before Halloween, so I turned his card into a birthday card for him.

Thanks for stopping by. Two posts in two day, I wonder how long that will last lol.

Final Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers

 Hi All,

We have a new challenge today over at CraftyCardmakers, which I'm sad to say will be our last.

I joined the Team on 3rd October 2011 for Challenge 53, and have enjoyed every moment of my time with an incredible group of crafty people. I will certainly miss the challenge of creating something specific to share with you although I'm sure that I will see you all around Blogland at some point.

Anyway, on to our last challenge No 267 Things That Go Bump in the Night, which I am honoured to host.

I have an old friend whose birthday is on Halloween so this challenge is always the perfect opportunity to make a card especially for her.

The purple background paper is printed from a Winnie Wednesday Full Collection Halloween Bundle from Polkadoodles.

The cute Pumpkin Witch is from Lili of the Valley.

I added some witches cats 

and an extra large spiders web

along with a die cut sentiment from Creative Expressions.

I hope that you join us for our last ever challenge and that you will pop over and share the love with the rest of the DT HERE.

Stay safe.

Hugs Kimx

Happy Birthday Emma

Evening Everyone.
Today a special young lady turned 5.

Seriously where did all those years go to?

 I remember her birth like it was yesterday.

 I picked this fabulous digi from Polkadoodles which looks so cute, just like Emma.

I used a butterfly background stamp which I white embossed onto a piece of pink card from my stash.

I also chose the image because of the butterflies. Emma had a butterfly house that she looked after during lockdown.

The alphabet dies are from Altenew and I cut them several times and stacked them for added dimension.

As I had half the butterfly panel left over I printed out another, slightly smaller image, and made another card to add to my stash.
We all went for a bike ride this afternoon and then had cake with the Birthday Girl which was lovely.
Thanks for stopping by.
Stay safe and hugs
