started the scrapbook when I only had a Sizzix
machine.

Crocheted: bib, hat & booties.

Christmas Partridge in a Pear Tree Card

Created this Christmas card using 2 designer
papers, ribbon & bird for the Christmas Card
Challenges challenge.

I'm not always comfortable stamping when the
image goes off the edge of the paper but liked
the way the flourish turned out and then the bird
stamped to be like it is attached to flourish so it
is like a hanging ornament.

Can be also used as a
tent card/place holder & name or person can
be written on front.

Halloween Bat and Witch Easel Stand Up Tag

Created this Halloween Witch & Bat
Easel Stand Up Tag at a Make & Take
at the Stamp Asylum store in my area.
Monica, the owner of Stamp Asylum, is
friends with Tim Holtz. She learned this
from him before Tim Holtz left on his
Hong Kong trip and invited people to
stop by the store to make & take it.
All supplies were provided at no cost.

I added the green gems over the brads
on either side of the ceramic '31' when
I got home.

2011 Captain Jack Sparrow Halloween Pumpkin

Hubby finished carving the 2011 pumpkin and if you
thought the 2006 version of Captain Jack Sparrow
was awesome check out this one of Captain Jack
Sparrow. Hubby used carving/engraving Dremel
tools on this one since it is mostly shading carving.
I ordered the Dremel tools online from Home Depot
since the ones in this set were not sold in store.
