A Halloween candy monster (Dustin Pike image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My 2nd card today is a cute little monster that Dustin Pike gave as a freebie a while back, how generous. You can follow his blog by clicking his name above so you get all the freebies he gives out too. I love this little guy and I bought the WRMK woven embossing folder at a craft show on the weekend and couldn't resist trying it out straightaway, I love it! I used my Lawn Fawn square frame and hillside border dies to create the little scene and added some shiny stars to finish it off.

Super Dad Father's Day card (Kenny K sentiment)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this card for my hubby for Father's Day from our kids, yes they should have made one themselves but I guess because it's my hobby they always leave it to me! I used a gorgeous sentiment stamp from Kenny K but I think they may have closed down now sadly. I used black cardstock and die cut some stars out of it and then glued in yellow and red stars so some are flat on the card and some are stuck on top of the black cardstock (if that makes sense hehe??) I coloured in the image and I printed it out in blue.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Back to school card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made a back to school card today using a really sweet image from The Paper Shelter. I have used her before so I've added the card below. I didn't compare or remember what I created last time and now I've found the photo I see I've almost used the same colours on her just the opposite way round, how funny! I added some turquoise rhinestones to the punched borders. I coloured her hair with my favourite Copic hair combination E21, 23, 25, 27 and 29.

Have a Magical Day (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Aww, isn't this little magician just so sweet? I turned my card into a triangular type shape by just shaving about 3cm off each top side, it's very easy but I like how this shape turns out for something a bit different. I added some Glossy Accents to the magic ball he's holding and the stars but it's hard to tell in the photo. You can find this sweet boy at Little Miss Muffet. The sentiment is from one of Lawn Fawn's fairy stamp sets.
