to be frank...

october is fun because it means halloween is just around the corner.  i'm not a big halloween celebrator (is that a word??) but i do love halloween stamps!  i'm in a frankenstein atc swap that sherri is hosting.  i couldn't believe out of all the halloween stamps i have, i didn't have one frankenstein stamp!  luckily i found one at michael's last week.  i love it!  it's perfect!  and apparently it's time for some new black ink!!

happy fall...

news flash.  this weekend went by faster than i could say h{ippity} hop!  so here we are with the hop on monday again!  i made a fall card since it is october.  we had weather like summer on saturday (broke a new high with 88!) so it doesn't exactly feel like fall, but probably will this week with all the rain we are supposed to have.  used some nesties and an embossing folder for this card.  h{ippity} hop on to the rest of the projects starting at the {ippity} blog!

happy card making day!!  of course i've spent most of the day sanding and staining our deck.  i thought about sneaking some stamping on it, but then decided my husband might not love that.  so i'm going to play in my craft room tonight and whip out some cards.  i'll post them soon!  here's what i did work on today!

happy halloween...

pinked up my blog for octber!  do you like?  now, three words...friends with flair. and two more...it's friday! woot woot! if all goes well, i'm at work today. which seems like a silly thing to be happy about, but we've been a little slow lately (yea for the kids!) so i don't think i've worked my full three shifts in weeks! so i'll be glad if i am working! but back to fwf...i absolutely love love love the september kit of the month from untiy. i used two stamps from it on this card. i love that this crow can be halloweenie or not.  i distressed the edges of everything to give it a little grunge look.  i thought it looked cool!  go visit the other fwf blogs by starting here.  and if you live in the area and are bored tomorrow, come grab a paint brush with me to stain my deck!! 

ps happy birthday to my shackie sis, suzi!
