Before I left for vacation I couldn't stop making Halloween stuff. It's just so fun to make. Tonight's card I played with lots of fun products! This card made my creative space a beautiful MESS! You know what I'm talking about. I ended up with piles of stamp sets, punches, tools and inks everywhere. When I finished this card I felt pretty darn satisfied. Not so much because of the card but because of all the fun things I used. LOL!
Let me show you the Supah Spooky Card!
As you can see, LOTS of products. Some new, some old. All together… they make a fun Halloween card. Below is a list of supplies!
Stamps: From the Crypt (115460), Style Beautiful (120483), Seasonal Sentiments (121130)
Cardstock: Basic Black, Old Olive, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: Basic Black Striped Grosgrain ribbon (ribbon cut in half), Nite Owl DSP (123012), Cutter Kit (SERIOUSLY, favorite tool!), Distressing Essentials (118762), Rhinestones, Vintage Trinkets
Now, I have to just add one thing. You NEED the Distressing Essentials. Super great tool for your stamping needs. It's like Sugar in your kitchen. It's a staple product, right? Well, this Distressing Essentials is just that too. Staple in your stamp room. Gotta have it! Add it to your order this month using my Online Shopping button and I will send you a card made using this GREAT tool!
Our vacations continues but only for a few short days. <sigh> I think we've packed in more fun this last week than ever. I know my kids are starting to get wrinkles at a young age from too much smiling. Or, could it be prolonged time in a pool? Either way it's been great watching two very happy chicks play! Today was supah amazing. We went on my parents boat and fished. I personally did not touch a pole. I was there for shooting the pics. Little did I know Brandon wasn't keen on fishing either. Let me set the story straight. This child has a heart for animals. We caught little minnows early this morning to have bait for fishing. Once Brandon caught those minnows it was all downhill. They were now his FRIENDS and there was no way we were using them for bait. Everyone had to be very strategic when baiting their hook. Anyways, the kids both caught fish. We threw them back in the ocean and Brandon said a prayer tonight that the fish were okay. <sigh> It was an awesome day with AWESOME memories!
Here are TWO happy Kids!

And you know how much I love chubby birds? This one below is one of my favorite photos!
I hope you have great plans for the weekend. We have one more great day to spend here and then we are back to reality. I'm hoping our new friend "Hurricane Earl" doesn't decide to stay too close to the coast. It could make getting home a little nuts.

Hi Kim,
I happen to live in Milton, just 12 short miles from P'cola. I sure am glad you and your family are enjoying our beaches. The news stemming from the oil spill has made so many people leary about vacationing here. I'm glad you and your family are here! I hope all is well at your home from Earl.
Aw, what a sweetheart Brandon is! It reminds me of the sharks anonymous mantra in 'Finding Nemo' – Fish areour friends, NOT food!
Love that spooky skull!
Hello! I have to first say that I'm a huge fan of yours and I so admire your tenacity, creativity, and positively bright outlook on life. Love your work!
On the Halloween card, how did you manage to get the effect you did with the ribbon? Sewn? Sticky strip? I've been playing with ribbon a lot lately and can't seem to get the look quite the way I want.
