Rainy Day

Hello Disney and Crafty friends!  It is raining here in the desert today.  It makes for a great day to stay inside and just relax. I have been uploading photos and trying to decide what craft project I want to work on. I just received a WONDERFUL package in the mail from October Afternoon.  Here is what I got:

For the month of November, October Afternoon is offering Santa Sacks.  Every Monday this month a new "Santa Sack" is offered.  What is a Santa Sack?  Think the best crafting grab bag you can get!  The above is what was in my Santa Sack this week. If you are not familiar with October Afternoon be sure to head here and see what they have to offer.  I hope that you have a magical day!  Thanks for stopping by.

Trying Something New!

Recently I joined a group on Facebook called Scrapbook Blessings Club.  I am also following their blog.  While looking at the challenges on their blog I came across this wonderful video. To see the Scrapbook Blessings post on this go here. Several times I have purchased kits using this technique but I have never seen a video on it until now.  I think that it is an awesome way to make a beautiful card! Watch the video and let me know what you think.  Also head on over to Scrapbook Blessings and join in on the challenge.

Here is my first attempt using this technique without the help of a pre-made kit.  (I used the dimensions listed in the video)

The background stamp that I used is Witch Hazel from October Afternoon.  The other stamps used are from the Stampin' Up set Googly Ghouls.  I used Journey Glaze on my scary guy and sprinkled a little glitter over the Glaze. Even a Halloween card needs a little glitz. LOL! The twine and card stock are from my stash.

I feel that this technique has ENDLESS possibilities! What a great way to use background stamps!! I can't wait to make another card.  I'm off to craft.  Have a magical day!
