As Promised................

Several of you have asked to see my work on some halloween cards, so here you go! I feel like I've kind of cheated, because they're not stamped. The embellishments are K and Company. I especially like the googly eyes. Hope you enjoy!



Happy Haunting!

Stay Tuned.................

Tonight I will be featuring some of my very own Halloween cards I created. They're not exactly stamped, rather "scraped" since I have limited Halloween cards. I'm also working on a few Christmas Creations I"ll share! Thanks so much for visiting - come back tonight and see the goodies!

Haunted House!!!!!

Some of my most fond memories of Halloween past include tours in haunted houses or spooky hay rides. So, I was thrilled today when I found this beautiful card by Holly McMillan. I adore her use of color in this card. Enjoy!





Tomorrow more spooks and thrills!

And All The Way From Japan.................

Today's feature Halloween card is from my SCS Ocean's Eleven Sister Siobhan. Her husband is in the military stationed in Japan, and I am soooooooooo jealous of all the copic markers that must be in her stash by now!!!!! She is quite the accomplished cardmaker and supermom to three kids. I love reading her blog about her life over there, and I know you will too! I hope to actually meet her one day, as she is also a pen pal with another friend of mine in South Carolina, Rachel!

Here's the link to her blog:

And feast your eyes below on the fabulous card she has created................



Also, this has NOTHING to do with Halloween but here's another card I made for the stamp show in South Carolina for my sister's store...........and, of course it's a Bella!!!!


Have a fantabulous Saturday everyone - Roll Tide - Hope Bama is victorious over Arkansas in Football!!!!!

Hmmmmm.........What to do about Halloween?

I dont' own many Halloween stamps, so I've had a brainstorm and think I'll just post one Halloween card that catches my eye every day during October, along with the other cards I make myself. I've seen soooooooo many precious cards for Halloween, and so much inspiration for this fantastic holiday! If any of you would like to submit a card to be featured during October, just email me at www.ozziepuddles.gmail.com. Here's today's card..............

I'm always wondering what to do with my solid stamps that I don't have to color, and I think this is a beautiful card. I'm also diggin' the newspaper print in the background.

This card was made by Sandra MacLean, and all the deets are below the picture. Enjoy! Thanks for the beautiful card and inspiration Sandra!
Here's also a link to her blog, which is FAB!

Fun, Fun, Fun!

I wanted to use lots of vibrant colors for Stephanie's booth at the card show. I didn't include sentiments on these cards because I wanted the main focus to be the image.

On a side note, I really enjoyed visiting my cardmaking friends blogs today on SCS Ocean's Eleven. I have missed this group and loved seeing all the latest creations from some very savvy sisters!
