Charming - Cased

OMG!!! a while back our dog Ruger had to have surgery on his leg because of a torn ACL, well he did the same thing again to the other leg and his surgery is on Tuesday, poor thing. Oh I just remember how pitiful he was last time, not looked forward to the next few weeks!!!

Okay enough of that and onto some stamp stuff. I just think that this Charming Stamp Set from the mini catalog is quite elegant (page 32). I saw a card that Roxy had done a while back on her blog and just loved it. So I cased it, if you would like to see her card just check out this link here. Hope you like what I came up with and thanks for stopping by.

Halloween Pillow Box

This is going to be a short post, I wanted to get something posted but it had to be quick, this week has been just a little crazy. I have seen a few of these on other blogs and just loved them. It is the Pillow Box and Top Note dies. I folded the Top Note die in half and then sponged it with only orange. I used the cat out of the Batty For You stamp set and mounted it on basic black scallop circle. I will be making these for the kids classes this year for Halloween, I think they will just love them. Well anyway thanks for stopping by.

Have a wonderful day, Candice ;-)
