Halloween Fun!

A friend of mine out here in the desert has kindly invited my husband and I over for dinner tomorrow (Halloween). I think it's mainly because my husband and I refuse to hand out candy to the thousands of kids that come trick or treating in base housing - they don't pay us enough for that.

Tonight I decided to throw together a cute card to say "Happy Halloween" and thanks for having us over. This also gave me an excuse to test out using the rosette shape that I've seen lately on the Silhouette blog!

I know it's nothing special, but I like how it came together!

Pre-Blog Creations!

Here are some items that I crafted prior to having this blog! Nothing special to explain, just photos!

Sketch Challenge

As part of the recent "Sketch Challenge" by Silhouette America, I've decided to not only participate, but also make a blog to post my creations on. 

This is the sketch in which the card or scrapbook layout was to be designed from

Here is my rendition of the sketch! 

The 3 little dots are actually "button" brackets. I'm in love with them! I wish you could identify them better in this photo!

I am a beginner in regards to using my machine, and if you check out the other submissions that is quite obvious. With being a Marine Corps spouse, I spend a lot of holidays away from family, and I thought this challenge would be a great opportunity to make a "Thinking of You" fall themed card! Cheers!
