H2H: Halloween

Hello everyone!  I apologize for being a bit of an absentee blogger these days.  Things have been super busy, and I have had a hard time making it into my craft room.  That's why I love H2H, because the ladies there continually inspire me, and challenge me to create things I might otherwise not get around to.  So, thanks for stopping by; you keep me crafting!

Over at H2H this week, the challenge is to create something with a Halloween or pumpkin theme.  I decided to make a Halloween card based on a pattern in the awesome new How To publication Make it From Your Heart, so here it is...

I used the all new Moonlight paper pack and WOTG stamp set, along with some black tulle ribbon for a little dimension.  It was pretty fussy cutting to cut out that mummy, but the result is worth it, I think!  I even stamped the inside....

So Happy Halloween!  I hope you liked this quick creation!  And I would like to see what YOU create, so please stop on by H2H and add your creation to the list.

H2H: Birthday Card with a Number!

Thanks for stopping by!  Over at H2H this week, the challenge is to create a birthday card featuring a number.  I don't usually put a number on a card, so this one was fun for me.  I decided to create a boyish card for a 7 year old, since we have a few birthdays coming up this month.  I stole away for about 20 minutes and whipped this one up.  Here is what I came up with...

I used the all new Dakota paper pack and WOTG stamp set.  It's not too fancy, but we've had out-of-town guests, and I have been sick the past week, so it was all I could do to get to my craft room today!

I am hoping to get my mojo back, along with some time to craft, in the next little while!  I hope you liked this quick creation!
