these are cards i made for my sister-in-law. the first set, i ran out of my original paper so i had to improvise! the second set was a version of a 3x3 set i made.

i found this cute monster set one day at the craft store (robert's). it's made by my cute stamps. there are a bunch of cute stamps by this company. i'm sure i won't use it much, but it came in handy for cindy's monster atc swap!

new banner...

i have been playing today in photoshop. i hate that the free trial is going to run out because i'm learning a ton! and it's so expensive! oh well. i had fun making my new banner. the elements are from sue cummings and house of 3. i just wish it didn't take hours! i start messing around with it and the next thing i know, 3 hours has gone by!!

oh well!

tree...

my friend christie is hosting an excellent "think outside of the box" kind of swap. it's making christmas atcs using non-traditional colors. it was definitely a challenge! i started picking my colors, then realized it was looking very halloween-ish! one of the papers is actually halloween paper! i wasn't sure about them, but i like how they turned out.
