~ A Spooktacular Hop! ~

September 23rd, 2009 by Holly McMillen

Good morning, friends!

Spooktacular is the word!  In honor of this month’s new There She Goes releases, Jessica is bringing back last year’s Spooktacular Silhouettes set.   Oh, and if you haven’t heard yet, we have new Trendsetters!  Check out the TSG Blog for their profiles.   I can’t wait to work with these new girls!!

So, we’re hoppin’ to celebrate.   If you arrived here from Faith’s blog, then you are in the correct spot.

I have made a little pact with myself to try more CAS cards.   I love the simple look, but have such a difficult time knowing when to say ‘when’ on a card.   In honor of our past Trendsetter Silke, I tried to use her simple elegant style for this card.

I used my brayer to create the background after attaching a circle punched with a little adhesive.   Then I removed the circle and stamped the images.

Here are my deets:

Stamps:  There She Goes‘ Spooktacular Silhouettes

Colors: GP White, Basic Black

Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, Old Olive, Elegant Eggplant

Accessories: ribbon, dimensionals, brayer

Ok, now off to Jessica’s blog for more fun!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I gotta take a minute to tell you… I started my exercise regime yesterday morning.   It was invigorating and tiring!   I came home and napped! LOL   I am off to the gym again this morning.  I will get the hang of these machines.   I am looking forward to shrinking right before your eyes :).

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a blessed day!
