Hi all!! This will be a quick post today as we are headed over to my SILs house for dinner and some clay-pigeon shooting (well, not me, the guys, I am going for the social thing, lol!) First off though, I want to say a HUGE and heartfelt THANKS to all of you who have told me you will make some cards and send them my way to ship to the troops for the holidays. This week I will have a post drawn up for just this occasion with all the information and what I am looking for!! I will link my email so you can pm me and I will send you my addy - I don't think I should post that on my blog so I will have to do it this way!! Stay tuned and for those of you who already asked, I will be sending you my addy today - smooches to all of you wonderfully, generous peeps, it's why I love stampers and scrapbookers, you are all such sweeties!!! Okay, so the project! These are some ATCs that I made for a recent swap I was in - I just love making halloween stuff and so making these were a lot of fun! I used my Booglie Eyes set again - I just think the images are too cute!! The paper is Lovely Lilac, Old Olive, and Pumpkin Pie card stock, which are perfect colors for Halloween!! The image is stamped in black stazon on Whisper White card stock! I jused my 1 3/8 and 1 1/4 inch circle punches, added a piece of Old Olive ribbon, and popped it up on dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped in Elegant Eggplant classic stampin' ink. The dsp corners are punched out using my Photo Corners Punch. And, I could not resist - I had to add booglie eyes to my spiders!! And, well, what's a spider without some bling, so Dazzling Diamonds had to be added as well - don't you just love the way it picks up the color of the ink?? Love it!! I did put on two layers though to make it thicker and one drop of Elegant Eggplant reinker to make it a little darker! Here is a close-up shot of just one of the cards, hope you like them - enjoy your Sunday!!
