I just loved this paper.  It is from the DCWV Autumn Splendor stack that I purchased a few years ago.  All the leaves and acorns on the cardstock have a frosted glitter on them.

Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment!  I appreciate you guys so much for taking the time to visit our blogs and see what creative talent we have on this team.

Hugs to each of you!

Happy Wednesday everyone!  How many of you desire to have an "Anything Goes" card that is fit for any occasion?  Well, here it is....

I think this card is just perfect for fall.  I decided not to put a sentiment on the front or the inside of the card yet.  I would love to make a few "any occasion" cards and stamp a sentiment on the inside when I need a quick card to send to a friend for their birthday, get well, encouragement...thinking of you....

My neighbor came over to my house the other day and needed three birthday cards and one "thinking of you" card.  I had over 100 cards in my stash and there was not one card that "fit" what she was looking for.  She ended up selecting four Halloween cards and asked me to stamp "Happy Birthday" on the inside of the card on three of them and "Happy Everything" on the inside of the fourth card.  Here is the stamp set I used:

This stamp set is PERFECT for all occasions!  The Halloween cards had "Happy Halloween" on the front of the cards and we stamped the inside with "Happy Birthday" on three of the cards and "Happy Everything" on the inside of the fourth card.  If you can only afford one stamp set, this set is the one for you!  This set is available at CARDZTV STAMPS.

Have a great day everyone!

Wicked Wishes! and Small Giveaway!

Who is in the mood for Halloween?  Weather is starting to cool down.....leaves on the trees are changing colors, and every store is covered with Halloween decorations.  I recently went to Dollar Tree and purchased a number of items to decorate my somewhat small covered patio.  Believe it or not, we still have a lot of trick-or-treaters that come on Halloween.

Mary at CARDZTV has recently offered three new stamps sets for sale in her store:  OCT 31st, Fall Fun, and Christmas Joy.  She also recently added More Spooky Sayings and there is still time for you to play with these stamps for Halloween. The Design Team will start showcasing some of the sentiments on these stamps along with participation in our Design Team Challenge on October 19th.

Look at the cute card I made using the OCT 31st stamp set:
