A FaBOOlous Throwback Halloween Card for CC2C

Welcome to the October installment of CASEing Coast to Coast.  This month we’re beginning our cross country stamping adventure in California with Karen Hallam and our theme is an appropriately seasonal one: Halloween.  You can see all the details of Karen’s adorable and fun card HERE.

Now for my card, I pulled out some “vintage” Stampin’ Up! DSP, Toil and Trouble.

I especially love those colorful witch’s hats.  And since I also find fussy cutting very relaxing, it was easy to cut a few as the focal point of the card.  All other products are noted below.

And here’s a look inside..

Growing up, Halloween was always an especially fun holiday as it was also my Mom’s birthday.  So along with all the candy, there was cake and ice cream…talk about a good time!  Although my Mom has been in heaven for a long time, this year would have been her 100th birthday.  And even though I’ve not had children to dress for Halloween for quite a long time, and heck, now I don’t even live in a community that gets Trick or Treater’s, I still love this fun holiday.  I do enjoy seeing my grandson’s costumes and watching their school parades.  And then there’s a cute little dachshund named Olive that will need a costume!  So I guess I do get to dress some one for Halloween!

I’ll have a few more fun Halloween projects before the end of the month.  I hope you’ll come back! In the meantime, please head over to Karen’s blog for some more Halloween crafting fun.

Take care and have a wonderful week!

Cheers to 43 Years!

Yesterday was our wedding anniversary….and it’s been a wonderful 43 years!  Here’s the card I made for my husband, Steve…

I must admit, that like most card makers, I have an overabundance of patterned paper from so many different companies.  Who can resist a great paper collection?  The images here were cut from a wonderful 6 x 6 pad from a Polish company, P13.  The collection is called Sea La Vie.  The background paper is also from this collection.  The sentiment is from a very old set I purchased from Michaels.

Here’s a look at the inside…this sentiment is from Simon Says stamp set:  Loving Hearts

How the years fly by!  Then…

…and Now (although this photo is 3 years old, it’s the only one of all us).

We’ve been blessed!  My youngest daughter, Emily, who is mom to those two adorable boys, is running her very first full marathon this weekend in Maine.  The boys, Steve and I will be cheering her on from here in PA!

Thanks so very much for stopping by today and I hope you’re looking forward to a wonderful Fall weekend.

Take care,

Harvest Blessings Thanksgiving Card – #TTTC257

Welcome to Tic Tac Toe Thursday.  I had the pleasure of creating this week’s challenge board.

And here’s what I came up with. I chose to go left diagonally: Harvest, Embossing, Metallic

Once again, I delved into my stash to come up with this card.  The patterned paper is from a DCWV pad.  I just love those pheasants!  The sentiment is from SU’s Country Home retired stamp set and is heat embossed.

The inside sentiment is from a very old (8/19) Paper Pumpkin kit: Gift of Fall.

Be sure to head over to the challenge HERE to see my fellow Team O teammates’ projects.  And I hope you’ll find some fun, fall inspiration from the challenge board and join us this week.

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care,

Rosanne

Attention Shoppers Birthday Card – PP705

After a long, hot summer without much stamping/card making time, I’m trying to get my mojo back.  Our weather has cooled down and I’ve spent some time reorganizing and getting acquainted with some new products that I’ve purchased in the last few months.  One of those sets is Stampin’ Up!’s Attention Shoppers bundle.  This is seriously one FUN set…and I’ve only made my first card with it!

How fun are those little gift bags!  I used patterned paper from my stash and used the paper piecing technique to create them.

And here’s a look at the inside.  The sentiment is from a long ago purchased set from CTMH.

Since creating this card, I can’t stop creating these little bags using a variety of different patterns…they are that much fun!

I’ve missed playing along with challenges, so I’m entering this card into Paper Players Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Take care,

Rosanne
