Halloween Pumpkins....FMS655

 

Well it has been a week around here -soccer games, doctor appointments, new furniture delivery, and general nonsense.....and somehow I lost a day and did not have my FMS card done in time! I keep leftover holiday pieces in separate envelopes so I dumped out the Halloween envelope and crossed my fingers this morning. And there was a lovely batch of batch of pumpkins! I started with them and added on some other pieces I found in the envelope! A bit of coloring and some DSP and I was done!

Now I am headed to the living room for some Netflix by the fireplace on this rainy afternnon - I need a day of rest! We have had an amazingly gorgeous and warm September and have been very busy with the grands. So an afternoon by the fire on a cool day sounds good to me!

                             

Jen Brum has a delightful sketch for us this week! Hope you join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Holiday Trees....FMS654

 

I was in a bit of a retro mood this week and decided to use these funky trees from Stamps of Life. The backgound triangles were embossed with an ancient SU! embossing folder and the sentiment is from an ancient Paper Pumpkin kit. But the gold sparkle sheet is brand new as is that wonderful plaid designer paper. And somehow it all came together for a fun holiday card!

I went with triangle trees but feel free to use two of anything in your design! Hope you join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Sending Sunshine....FMS653

 

I loved Kim's idea this week about featuring a BIG sentiment!  I don't use them often enough! So I stenciled some sunshine with Distress Inks and used a bold sentiment from Beachy Keen by Simon Says Stamp. A fun way to send some cheer!

                                               

Follow Kim's advice and find a BIG sentiment to share with us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Hitching A Ride......FMS652

 

I'm not too sure about hitching a ride with this crew from the Bag of Bones set! But I do think they are the perfect crew to be on Will's Halloween card!

My grandson Will visited this week and made a birthday card for Cousin Emma.  She is having a pool party so he wanted a water scene. 

 He actually stenciled some waves and learned how to use the Misti to add mean sea creatures under the waves.

And of course you need to add bombs to scare the mean critters away from the swimmers!

And he finished it all off on the back with donut sprinkles because who doesn't like donut sprinkles?!?

I am hosting this week at Freshly Made Sketches. My sketch was inspired by a holiday project in Brian King's Super Awesome Fun Time Card Kit class - always a fun class to take!  Hope you join us at Freshly Made Sketches and put your own mark on the design!
