Trick or Treat, smell my feet. Give me something good to eat! is the Tuesday Morning sketches challenge this week.. and treats for Halloween was the challenge at the creative cottage.. and although I’m quick making cards other crafts seem to make me stop and think… i know its two days late!!! i got this treat bag from split coast stampers and here are three of them. the cat is penny black and the pumpkins are Stampin up. now i just have to make lots more and fill them.
halloween bats
The theme is Halloween so i brought out my punches and here come the bats… Martha Stewart bats an cuttle bug swirls in the sky… aren’t Halloween themes fun?
Happy 50th
Its Megan’s birthday October 19th so I have to get a card in the mail soon… She was born in the year of the rat like me although we are 12 years apart. Although she lives in Washington state now, a few years ago I shared a vacation with her in her in her hometown of Beijing, What an exciting trip. Its a very special experience to be shown a foreign country by someone born there.
Have the best of 50th birthdays.

The template is from everybody art challenge shown below. cute cute cute!
