Cicely at Halloween!!

Finally getting a Cicely card posted. I LOVE these Halloween sets! I debated about cutting her out but it really wasn't hard at all. I always like using Copics and paper piecing so this card was a real joy. The coat is Bo Bunny paper--using both sides. Everything else is colored with Copics. Now just need to get this in the mail for a granddaughter in Florida!

I went to a Basketweaving Weave-In last weekend and have almost finished my basket. The instructor forgot to put in the top trim piece and is mailing it to me. I haven't done much weaving lately and really enjoyed the class. I'll post a photo when done.

A wedding reception is scheduled for this weekend in Kansas City for son Bryan and his new wife but now with the pending hurricane, they may not be able to get here. They are scheduled to fly out of Cancun tomorrow afternoon at 12 pm!

More later......

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #69

Such a FUN sketch from Claire! This is the second card I have made. I just couldn't not do a witch's hat! 

I tried a different approach with the ribbon. Hope it gives the look of a ruffled brim. For the sentiment I used Labels Eleven and cut an opening from the patterned paper, then added a separate layer on top. I didn't intend for it to look like a 'pumpkin' but after I took the picture it was the first thing I noticed! Still not sure if I like it or not! The sentiment is stamped in black and clear embossed. The Melon Berry color looks so much better IRL. Lots of problems with the lighting--had to work to get the detail and rhinestones to show up against so much black. The hat is black cardstock--black ruffled ribbon covers the brim and gold embossing with rhinestones complete the top. The clear rhinestones were colored with a Copic marker to get the matching purple. The wispy pieces at the top were cut from a puffy ribbon. 

Hope you enjoyed your visit--please come again!

Smiles,

Sharron

Waltzingmouse Waltz: Theme-Gratitude/Thanksgiving; WMSC #69

Edited to add this entry to the WMSC for this week!!

My VERY late Waltzingmouse Waltz entry

I was playing around with ideas for this week's WMSC and remembered Julia Aston's card where she cut off the top of Cicely's hat to make a pilgram hat. SO here is my Thanksgiving card!

I decided to do it in gingham--just because gingham is such fun. The sentiment is from the new Say It Loud-Winter Holiday set. I know I'm going to love it as much as the original one. The only thing I struggled with was the buckle. I didn't have a real one so created this out of paper. The silver part is cut with a 3/4" square punch and the center is the smallest Spellbinders Square die. 

Time to go visit all the other entries--know there will be lots of inspiration there! Here is the link to Claire's blog with info about the waltz and a link to the forum.

Have a wonderful week!

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #68

Good Morning All! My internet crashes every time I try to get on so I am using hubby's computer to finally get my sketch card posted. I thought I would have recovered from our trip to Mexico by now but I came down with a cold right after we returned so still feel pretty worn out. I also was going to post a few pictures but can't access the ones in my computer until I get the internet problem fixed!!  Unfortunately I also ended up with way too many ruined shots since I took an older camera rather than my newer, much heavier one. 

I had this patterned paper in my stash and had never used it. It seemed to go great with the little snowman from Sewing Box-Christmas. Dressed him up with a few additions--a 'carrot' nose, black pearl buttons and the broom from Hocus Pocus. 

It is a gorgeous fall day here--sunny and a crisp 52 degrees! LOVE autumn!! Thanks for dropping by.....

Smiles,

Sharron
