Ever have one of those days where you spend the whole day doing things, but nothing was completed so you don't have anything to show for it? I feel like a hamster in a wheel today!! Ahhh.....it is Monday, isn't it! It is also raining here today.....AGAIN! I feel like I have been living in a cave for two weeks because it is so gloomy. I see now that may have added to my general mood today, too.
This hamster did not complete a card today (that would be ME, if you aren't keeping up here).......I worked on one, as well as a cute Halloween project. They are not done. As my dear mom always used to say, "tomorrow is another day". Just so I don't feel bad for not posting anything, I am posting one of my favorite Halloween cards. I made these for my nephews a couple of years ago......we only have nephews, eight to be exact, so cutesy Halloween cards are kind of out. Good thing I only had girls and can make cutesy things for them!! ANYWAY, this card is made with stamps that you piece together to make a figure that moves, in this case a skeleton with swinging arms and legs. How cool is that?
Card Recipe:
Skeleton and sentiment stamps by Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers
(company is out of business now)
Harlequin stamp by The Stamping Studio
Memories black ink pad by Stewart Superior
Black embossing powder by Ranger
Black LIcorice Matte Finish Brads by Lasting Impressions
Patterned paper - sorry, I can't remember!
Other: Black cardstock
1/4 inch tan/black gingham ribbon
Very cool Halloween card, I must say up here in the great white north we really don't get into it. but love the card and the idea of the parts moving.
