"Cow-nt" Your Blessings"

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I've worked on this card off and on for a few days and finally got it finished. First I have to thank Sharon at Gramma's House of Cards here for the inspiration for this one. It seems that she and I both love the cow on Paper Doll Dress Up and she was so nice about sharing the idea for the cow and the word play "cownt". If you haven't seen her work I think you will love it.

Here's the recipe:

Card: 6x6

Grass: embossed with old Fiskar's plate in my Cuttlebug

Cow: Paper Doll Dress Up (about 3 1/4" on DS)

Thought bubble: Paper Pups

Fence: Paper Doll Dress Up ( about 1" on DS)

Barn: Everyday Paper Dolls (about 3 1/2" on DS)

Sun: Everyday Paper Dolls (about 1 1/2" on DS)

Turkey: My Community (about 1 1/2" on DS)

Hay: Martha Stewart punch

Sentiments: Computer generated.

The inside says "Happy Thanksgiving! Hope it takes a long time to "cownt all your blessings!"

I hope you like it. It was a lot of fun to make and I think my parents will love it. Thanks again Sharon!!!!

The Spoonful of Sugar Tuesday challenge this week is to create a scene. I posted this on Sunday and hope I'm not stretching the rules by submitting this one. There are some great cards posted by their DT if you have a chance to hop over there.

Bella and Riley Halloween Cards

It's Saturday and today is World Card Making Day! Over at SplitCoasterStampers it looks like there will be lots of fun and prizes all day. My husband and I are leaving today for our fall beach trip today, so I won't be able to play along, but I will post two Halloween cards before we leave. The first one is a Riley Moose and was really a simple card to make. The swirly purple was in my box of scraps but seemed perfect for him. The bats , black dots, and pumpkin are acrylic stickers.

The second one is a Bella stamp. I still love the Bella stamps, but it seems that I don't see many cards being made with them lately. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss pumpkins on the orange cardstock and cut the Trick or Treat bag with my Cricut and Paper Doll Dress Cartridge. The eyelets for the ribbon were easy to do with my Crop-o-Dile. I love it! Both were colored with Prisma pencils.

Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!

*****Edited to add that over at 2 Red Bananas there is challenge to make a Halloween card.

Since I'm at the beach and not crafting I'll submit the cards above for the challenge. Head over there and see what their talented DT has posted. ****

Halloween Cards

Today was a cool, rainy day so I spent the afternoon making these two cards. I used my Cuttlebug and Core'Dinations paper for the haunted house card and added "Dress It Up" buttons and some googly eyes.

I used my Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge for the Frankenstein card.

Thanks for looking!
