A mini Halloween card and an embellishment.

I am thrilled that it's Friday!  How about you?  Fall is definitely in the air here with cool nights and 70 degree days.  The weather couldn't be more perfect! 

On Tuesday night, when I was playing around with my Halloween stuff, I made a couple of embellishments out of the Martha Stewart tags that I told you about yesterday.  One of them looked kind of plain by itself, but still cute (weird, I know) so I turned it into a mini card.


Here's the mini card.  I punched out a circle of patterned paper and then stamped a black cat from my Hero Arts Halloween stamp set in the middle.  Then I just centered the whole piece on a 3x3 white card base.  See what I mean by being plain, but still cute?  I think it turned out great as a mini card!


Here's the little embellishment I made.  This one just has a couple of layered strips, one with the sentiment and then I stamped my image on patterned paper and popped it up with some pop dots.


Here's the money shot, as Tracy would say :)

Do you have a fun weekend planned or are you relaxing?  Mike and I are going on a Poker Run tomorrow.  We'll be on the motorcycle all day and I'm super excited about it!!!!  Mom is going to watch the girls for us :) :) :) then that night we have a barbecue at the neighbors.  Sunday we're going to relax a bit, laundry and football. 

I hope you have a GREAT Friday and a fabulous weekend!!!!  Thanks for coming by today!

  6. I feel like a celebrity. Mentioned two days in a row :)
    I love how you make your embellishments like that. I was just going through some scraps of paper and came across many, many paper strips. I so have to try this.
    Again love how you added the pattern paper to the tag. Is that a cat, owl or bird, looks like they combined all those animals on this one stamp, teehee.
