TRICK OR TREAT

Good morning and welcome to my blog.  

Today, I'm very excited to be featuring my first card for the

 DigiChoosing Design Team. 

The Halloween theme did put me slightly out of my comfort zone. I'm at an age here in New Zealand that it wasn't celebrated.  But in the 21st Century, we are celebrating, dressing up, and trick-or-treating.  My boys used to get dressed up when they were younger.

This card isn't that scary, as I made it for my great niece, who is 3 1/2 years old and will go trick-or-treating at her preschool.

Here's a quick look at the inside of my card.

This sweet little image of Pumpkin Girl Boo reminds me of the very old nursery rhyme Little Miss Muffet and she was frightened by spiders.  I did add the spiders.

BUTTERFLY FLOWER POTS

Good morning and welcome to my blog. Today is the first day of October, and this year is passing by so quickly.

Over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, we have two new sketches, a retro sketch from the past and wonderful work by the Design Team.

Sketch #313

This is a straightforward design; it reminds me of a man's shirt pocket, and it shows off all those wonderful design papers we all have.  Especially all the ones we love and don't want to use, or we might use them on a special occasion. 

A quick look at the inside of the card.

Don't forget to drop by Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and find out what the design team have created.
