Happy Halloween from Snoopy!

Looks like Snoopy will be watching from the window this Halloween, COLD and SNOW in the forecast.  Not what we usually have for Halloween in Missouri.  I have not gotten a single Halloween card in the mail this year....so sorry.  Not a single Pumpkin on the porch!

I have plenty of cards to send, but have been distracted and distraught about work and could not focus on the here and now.  This too shall pass.....at least I hope so or retirement may be in my immediate future!  Think of all the time I would have to stamp!!  LOL, but no money to buy NEW stamps!!

Lots of retired on this card, but the Cat Punch is alive and well and will always be part of my craft room!!

If you have kiddos, bundle up and try to enjoy the evening.  I have a bowl full of candy, so anyone who comes to my door is going to get a TON!!

Hot Hands

I have been struggling with something for the GUYS in our lives for the Markets and I think I finally found something....HOT HANDS.  Not a totally original idea, but maybe my packaging is unique!

You can get 4 of these out of 1 piece of card stock.  Cut a smidge under 2 inches.  This allows for the strip of paper to fit in the Tag Topper punch.  Score at 5 3/8 and 5 5/8 and punch on each end.  I used Chiefs Fabric to tie the 2 ends together.  Stamped Footballs and used the Circle Punches to frame the Hip Hip Hooray!!

For the Win is a must have stamp set....if you have kiddos in Sports you can do so many things with this adorable stamp set!

For the Win  149435  $23.00

Delightful Tag Topper  149518  $23.00
