Truck Load of Fall

Hi, everyone!
Today's fun fold card is super easy. Just take an A2 size card and fold back the front cover. This adds so much to the card just with that one additional fold.

My project was created with designs from Lori Whitlock. I made the truck blue because that's the color of our truck.

#18 of Halloween Card Series

   BOO !
Hi, crafters

I have a bunch of Halloween cards to share with you this month. :) 
Hope you enjoy them as much as I did making them.

Card #18
Last One!!

So I did use a couple of metal dies in my Big Shot for this one.
Fence - Jaded Blossom
Stitched circle - Spellbinders

White gel pen added to rooftops. 


All of the cards in this series used the
Echo Park, Halloween Magic 6x6 paper pad. 

There is a total of 18 cards - and I still had lots 
of design paper left over from this pad! WOW!

All cards used solid cardstock from stash
Some cards have ribbon from various companies

Cards with sentiments are from various companies such as:
Cardz TV Stamps
Close To My Heart
Simon Says Stamp

I tried to keep everything fairly simple 
and flat for mailing with the exception 
of ribbon and bows now and then. 

I really wanted to add some gems, sequins, and enamel dots, 
but decided to stay with the flat clean & simple approach for these. 
But believe me, the struggle was real to not add some bling!

Happy Halloween!

#4 of CTMH Got Candy Card Series

Hello, crafters!
Before I show you today's card make, please keep my husband, Tom, in your prayers today through the weekend. The surgery that was planned a couple of weeks ago, was postponed to today instead. He will be in the hospital a few days before coming home. Hopefully things will go well, and he'll come home before the weekend starts.

You may or may not know that Tom went through several doctor appointments, tests, procedures, etc trying to narrow down what exactly was wrong. They did a biopsy thinking for sure it would be cancer. That came back inconclusive, and now the doctor thinks it's probably not cancer, but something he was born with that has just now started to give him troubles. And when I say "just now" this has been going on for a few months. Anyway, he's already had 2 surgeries, and we hope this will be the last one. They will remove the damaged area and have to reroute some things, so pretty major surgery. The bad area will be sent to the lab for testing again. Hopefully it will come back as not cancer as the doctor now suspects.  Anyway, I would greatly appreciate all of your prayers for everyone involved in his surgery and care while in the hospital, that God protects him, and heals him completely and quickly so his life and our lives can get back to normal again. Thank you so very much for praying.

I'll post an update about his progress hopefully next week.

...

Time for a new mini series of cards 
all using the papers & stickers 


Enamel dots on this one were also from my stash
The sentiment stickers are really fun!
