Dark & Dreary

Since I have had a few days to play with the newly retired stamp sets I have decided to make a card and post them as they show up in the catalog. So that means, the fall and winter holidays will be first. I have gotten my ideas from SCS for the most part and I hope they don't mind if I cannot name the creators. I have tried to make a few minor changes to each one but why bother with perfection!

This one uses some retired DSP to match the newly retired stamp set. I love the focal point image on this card. I have used it bunches.

Dark and Dreary

A few weeks back I saw this sketch and on blog and so I had to copy it. Hey, I changed a few things so it is not an exact copy. I love the little bow with the sparkly brad. It just sets it all off! I used Dark and Dreary for the owl and Howl-o-ween Creeps for the sentiment. The ribbon is retired but it went so well, so I used it.

Pennant Parade Meets Halloween

Well, I loved the color combo for the CCMC so much this week that I sat down and made another card using it. I used my Pennant Parade and Dark and Dreary again for this card. Of course the colors are: Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, and Lucky Limeade. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set. Have fun on this rainy day!

Create with Connie and Mary - Challenge 165

These challenges really challenge me every week. I cannot just CASE, I have to go out there and come up with something new each week. These colors are really beautiful and they practically scream FALL! Of course, you know how I feel about fall...it means winter will be here soon and I HATE winter. But at least fall has Halloween and so that is the focus of my card this week.I used Dark and Dreary and Tiny Tags for my stamps.
