Wishing you a FaBOOlous Halloween

I can't believe that it's already September 1st.  The fall season will soon be upon us.  Today there is a new challenge at Catch the Bug and it's a Anything Goes.  For my card, I chose Halloween Silhouette and a sentiment from TLC, Create.  I used 3 colors of Distress Oxide inks to cover the image and then blending the inks.  Now that my kids are grown, I don't need as many Halloween cards, but I still give out a few.  We are getting so much rain in the area, we have had lots of flooding.  On Tuesday they actually had us leave work early so we didn't get stranded at work.  So I have been fortunate to not have water damage at my house so my water marks were added on purpose, lol..

Only my sock monkey understands me

Today at Catch the Bug is Friday Freebie and it's a cutie...Bug Monkey Blocks and I used a sentiment from TLC, Create.  I made a Twisted Pop up Card as a 3.5" X 5" Notecard.  This is the first time that I made this layout, which was a lot of  fun.  I have a few monkeys in my life that I can give this to, lol.

Today at the Catch the Bug there is a New Release and it's this Bug Monsters 4 Block.  It comes blank where I added the sentiment from TLC, Create and another version that includes a sentiment.  I added some googly eyes and bling.  This is a fun card for a boy or a man who is just young at heart.

Caution Senior moment in progress

Well, it's Friday which means there is a Friday Freebie at Catch the Bug and it's the Bug Dino 01.  I used a sentiment from TLC, Create.  I used my distress oxide ink to watercolor the sky background on.  I used a frame, palm tree and grass die cuts from My Favorite Things.  Grab him while he is available this week.  He is good for kids and adults.

You are the Jingle in my Bells

I just love this sentiment from TLC, Create, and I thought that it worked perfectly with an image from Beccy's Place.  I think it is hilarious that goose with an attitude wearing bells.  I just added some real ones.  The paper is also from TLC, Create.  This was just a fun card and I like make non-Traditional colors.
