Hope and Arctic Themed Wrapping Paper

Hello and happy Monday.  I'm popping in for a quick post before getting my dog dressed up as Batman (Batdog?) for Halloween.  (see end of post)

I thought of 2 card ideas in spin class this morning--both of them for the CAS-ual Fridays #159: Fight Like a Girl Challenge.

On this card, I die cut the Linked Fri Dies from white and three shades of pink to create my left border.  My sentiment combines a die cut from PTI and a sentiment from CASual Fridays Hope Ribbon stamps.

I am also entering this card at Simon Says Monday Thinking of You.

My second card idea uses the other pieces of the pink Fri-Dies links.  I overlapped them to form a grounding base for my card, and then put a die cut ribbon and sentiment from Hope Ribbon on my popped up front panel.

I cannot decide which card I like best.  What I really hope, is that both of these cards sit in my stash for a really long time....meaning that I have no one to send them to for a really long time...

I am also entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes.

Last up is a little piece of stamped wrapping paper that I created based on the video at this week's Make it Monday #266:  That's a Wrap.  Lexi has some great tips on creating custom wrapping paper for small gifts--she even has some downloadable templates with guide lines for stamping.

Rather than show this paper in use, cutely wrapping up a fake gift, I am showing it flat, because I will keep it this way until I actually have a gift to use it for.  I created this wrapping paper using stamps from PTI Warmest Wishes.  It's too cute to sacrifice for a photo shoot.  I'll probably make a matching tag when I actually use it.

That's it for me.  Batdog and I are taking Sarah trick or treating downtown.

Apparently, Sherlock is very into Halloween.  He dressed up as Superdog at Kamp Kanine last week. Here is a picture of the photos the staff took of him that day.  Sherlock will pretty much let anyone do pretty much anything to him.

Happy Halloween

Thanks for Visiting
