Bewitching!

Ooh, this card looks so dark and scary, but really it's not!  I only have a few Halloween cards left to post, and I think I'm going to sneak in a quick and simple birthday card tomorrow.  Sketch is Mojo#158

The hard part about making Halloween cards so far in advance is that I am all "Halloween'd" out!  LOL!

Last night the kids, my Mom and I went in search of costumes at the Value Village and the Salvation Army.  Total success.  The Munchkin is going to be a "Creepy Bride" and we picked up a very gaudy ivory coloured wedding dress and the most horrific looking veil I've ever seen.  She loves it!  We will have to shorten the skirt about 18 inches (she's only 8 after all) and add some creepy crawly critters and cobwebs and dirt to complete the outfit.  Can't wait to take pictures of this costume once it is complete.

The Rock Star is going to be Horton...I know, you're thinking "who"...and that's exactly what I thought when I saw her in the costume.  It fit's perfectly...a very nice Elephant costume...and when I asked are you going to be an Elephant, she said "No, I'm Horton!...you know, from Horton Hears a Who?!?!" Kids, they are so creative!  Of course, this elephant costume is perfect for our Northern Halloweens, it will fit perfectly over her snowsuit should the snow fly on Halloween night.  However, it will be much too warm for the school celebration so she managed to find a little jacket with a hoodie that is a Cow, and so with a nice pair of black pants from home we'll have a Cow costume too.  She keeps running around the house with this thing on, bumping into us and saying "Moooooove!"  LOL!  Too cute...and the best thing is we got all this for under $35...all 3 costumes...what a deal!

It's a Two Card Day!

Wow! I was on a roll Monday!  This first card uses Mojo Monday #147, a super versatile sketch.  My Copics are still at BananaStampers and I was surprised that I even remembered how to make a card without colouring an image!  LOL!

My second card for today uses Sunday Sketch & Stamp #32 a fun sketch that I turned on it's side.  Again, no colouring on this card, just some quick stamping and glue it all together.  Whew!

A friend and I went to see Get Him to the Greek last night.  There were some super funny parts and some not so funny parts.  I have to say though what stands out most for me is Russell Brand...the man is just not my cup of tea...he spends way too much time with his shirt off and it wouldn't normally bother me but he has exceptionally pointy pink nipples...am I allowed to say that in blog land?  Don't let your kids read my blog!  LOL!  It's like when you pass an accident and you really shouldn't look but you can't help yourself...only they're practically looking at me the whole time...screaming at me in fact.  Perhaps I'll have to find a movie where he has clothes on to really assess whether I like him or not.  Am I the only one who feels this way?
