Oh My Fright, Frightfully Fun, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. I just had to make one more Halloween card before the end of the month. I found it on the internet and you can see it by clicking here. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic Black card stock was cut for the largest layer. On top of that is a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Frightfully Fun" 12" x 12" package. I did a pretty good job this month using a lot of that DSP. I haven't used it up but I did use quite a bit of it. I taped the DSP to the Basic Black layer and that as then taped to the front of the card.

The original card looked like it used the retired "Deckled Circles" dies. I no longer have mine (or I just can't find it in my mess! LOL). I used the dies from the "Stylish Shapes" set. I used the second and third dies in that set to make this card.

The largest is Basic Black and the next size smaller is Basic White. On the Basic White circle I stamped the words from the "Oh My Fright" bundle using Basic Black ink. I had accidentally smudged the word piece, the ink was not quite dry when I turned it over to add the tape. I taped it to the Basic Black piece and then lightly sponged on some Basic Black ink to camouflage the smudges.  Good job, huh? I no longer see them! I taped the layered circles to the front of the card about 1-1/8" from the top edge and 7/8 from both sides.

I fussy cut the ghosts from another sheet of DSP in the same package. Dimensionals were added to the back of them and they were set in place on the front of the card.

I added a few little ghosts from the "Bats, Ghosts and Dots" embellishment package and the card was done.

This was a fun card. It was very quick (even with the fussy cutting) and it was super easy to make too. Last Halloween card for they year!  I promise!

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,

Sweet Words, Scalloped Blooms, Glow of Harvest, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fall birthday card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Early Espresso card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut two pieces of Basic Beige card stock that measure 4" x 5-1/4" each. I taped one to the inside and the other I textured using the "Softly Woven" embossing folder. I glued it to the front of the card.

Next I cut a piece of Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the "Glow of Harvest" 12" x 12" package. It measures 2-1/2" x 4".  I taped it to a 2-3/4" x 4-1/4" piece of Early Espresso card stock. I added Dimensionals to the back and I set this piece aside.

The words were stamped next. They are from the "Scalloped Blooms" bundle and were stamped using Early Espresso ink on Basic Beige card stock. I cut them out using a die from the "Sweet Words" bundle.

I cut an Early Espresso layer from the same "Sweet Words" bundle. I taped the two layers together. I set this aside. 

I do not remember what set the leaf was die cut from. I had made it a while ago and it was setting on my worktable. If you know what set it's from, please leave a message in the comment and I'll edit my post to include it. I had cut it from a scrap piece of Basic Beige and sponged on some Daffodil Delight. Then I sponged the edges using Early Espresso ink. And for the middle, I tapped on some Pumpkin Pie ink. It was fun to make the leaf but I don't remember what I was going to use it for. Anyway, I glued the leaf in place under the words. The space below it was open and it needed something. 

I cut a 4" x 3/4" piece of Early Espresso card stock and taped it to the front of the card about 1-1/2" from the top edge of the card base.

The DSP layer was added next, it's about 1/2" from the fold and right side.

Dimensionals were added to the word piece where it would touch the textured piece and tape to the part that touches the DSP. Once that was in place, the card was done.

This was a fun card to make. I like the layout and it was quick and easy to make.

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Birthday card,

Copper and Apatite Earrings

As many of you know, I just don't just make cards with my time. I do other crafts such as knitting, crocheting, playing with polymer clay and jewelry making. Today I made a pair of earrings using copper and faceted apatite stones. I thought I'd share it with you today. I also made several other pair using copper beads in place of the apatite stones. I made my own headpins. It's the balled pin at the end of the earrings. I torched them earlier this year. I will be making more before the weather gets to cold to be out in the garage. It's something that is probably okay to make one or two in the house but it's best to torch copper outside or in a very ventilated area. I don't have the ventilation system that is needed to do that many in the house. So I set up camp in the garage and torch away. 

These are very lightweight and easy to wear. I file the ends of the ear wires so they glide in the ear easily. I love the look of the apatite with the copper.

I had a lot of fun making these and will be making more using other semi-precious gem stones and more copper beaded ones.  I have other jewelry items I've made and I'll post some in a few days. 

You can see some of the other things I have made by clicking here.  The web store is not working right now and I usually shut it down during craft fair season because most of the items go to the craft fairs. 

Thanks for looking,
Wanda

Lily of the Valley, Valley in Bloom, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have another card using the "Lily of the Valley" bundle again. Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Garden Green card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut two pieces of Basic White card stock that measure 4" x 5-1/4". I taped one to the inside and the other I worked on.

I cut three pieces of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Valley in Bloom" 12" x 12" package. These pieces measure 5" x 1-5/8" each. I taped them to the Basic White piece.

I cut one leaf from the "Lily of the Valley" bundle using Granny Apple Green card stock and one set of flowers using Basic Beige card stock. I did trim the end of the flower piece a bit so it wouldn't stick out from under the leaf. 

The leaf and the flower piece were taped to the front of the card.

I taped the piece on the front of the card base.

The words are from the same bundle and were stamped using Garden Green ink on Basic White card stock. I punched them out using the "Three Banner" punch. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a very quick and easy card to make. It was fun to play with larger pieces of the DSP, it's so pretty.  I had gotten a quarter sheet of each design from a friend so I was able to make a couple of cards using them. Fun times with friends.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's friendship card,
Wanda

Lily of the Valley, Thank You Card, Friendship Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a thank you/friendship card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Garden Green card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut two pieces of Basic White card stock measuring 4" x 5-1/4" each. I taped one to the inside and the other will be taped to the front.

I cut three strips of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Valley in Bloom" 12" x 12" package. The strips measure 3/4" x 5".  I taped them in place on the left side of the Basic White piece.

I cut two leaves from the "Lily of the Valley" bundle using Granny Apple Green card stock and I cut two sets of the lilies using Basic Beige card stock. I trimmed the ends of the flowers so the didn't stick out past the bottom of the leaves. I taped the leaves and flowers in place over the DSP.

The words are from the bundle. I thought it was such a sweet sentiment and I love the fonts used. I stamped the words using Garden Green ink.

The piece was then taped to the front of the card.

I thought the upper right looked a bit too open so I added a brass butterfly that I had in my stash. I still have a few left and I do plan on using them up. I need to cut down my stash of embellishments and DSP. I will run out of elements long before I run out of DSP! LOL 

This was a pretty quick, easy and simple card to make. This is an interesting set to play with. I did not purchase this set, I played with one a friend had. It's fun to get together with friends. We all have different tastes and we share our sets we bought so we can have even more fun without spending a fortune. I like to try out a set before I decide I can get a lot of use out of it to justify buying it. Stamping days with friends is the best!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thank you/friendship card,

Glow of Harvest, Sunflower Field, Simply Leaves, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a thinking of you card to share with you.  Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Paper (DSP) from the "Glow of Harvest" 12" x 12" package. Hind site here, I should have cut a piece of Cajun Craze card stock for the first and largest layer. The DSP kind of blended into the card base. The "Glow of Harvest" DSP is printed on pearly card stock. It's got a beautiful shimmer and the camera didn't pick it up.

On top of the "Glow of Harvest" DSP is a piece of DSP from the "Sunflower Field" 12" x 12" package. It measures 4-1/2" x 2-3/4".  I taped it about 1/2" from the fold along with the top and bottom.

A 3" x 3-3/4" piece of Basic White card stock was cut and then textured using the leaves folder from the "Seasonal Cheer" mini embossing folders package. There's three folders in that set, the leaves, bats and candy canes. You'll be seeing the candy cane one being used in some future cards (I hope I remember to use it! LOL). I glued the embossed piece to the front of the card about 1/2" from the right edge and about 7/8" from the top and bottom edges of the card base.

I took another piece of DSP form the "Sunflower Field" package that measures 3" x 1-1/2" and I taped it to the embossed piece about 1/4" from the edge of the embossed piece.

A circle from the "Stylish Shapes" set was cut, I used the third largest die. Using a blending brush, I scrubbed on some Cajun Craze ink. 

The pumpkins are from the "Glow of Harvest" DSP and were fussy cut, along with the leaves and two sets of flowers. It's too bad the colors of of the pumpkins weren't darker, that is why I set them on a darker background. I taped the pieces in place on the circle and then added Dimensionals to the back and set it in place on the front of the card centering it on the textured piece with equal spacing on the sides and about 1/4" from the top edge of the textured piece.

The words are from the "Simply Leaves" bundle and were stamped using Early Espresso ink on a 2-1/2" x 1/2" piece of Basic White card stock. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was se tin place on the front of the card about 1-1/2" from the bottom edge of the card and 1-1/8" from the fold and 5/8" from the right edge of the card. And that was it, the card was done.

This was a fun card to make and I SO love the shimmer on the DSP. 

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,

Simply Leaves, Birthday Card, Thank You Card, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fall card to share with you. I have not decided what genre it belongs under. A birthday card? A thinking of you card?  A thank you card? I'm not sure where to go with this card. It's not speaking to me. Maybe you can suggest something. What is it saying to you? I found the card on Pinterest. You can see the original card by clicking here. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Cajun Craze card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock was cut and taped to the inside.

On the front a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Early Espresso card stock was cut for the largest layer. 

The beautiful shimmery Designer Series Paper (DSP) piece was cut at 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from a sheet in the "Glow of Harvest" 12" x 12" package. The sheets in this package are all on a shimmery card stock. There is no design on the back, just the pretty images on the front. I taped this piece on top of the Early Espresso piece. 

On the right I cut a 1" x 5-1/8" piece of Crushed Curry card stock that I textured using the leaves from the "Seasonal Cheer" mini folder. There's three folders in that set, candy canes, bats, and these leaves.  I glued this piece to the right side of the DSP.

The leaves are from the "Simply Leaves" bundle and were stamped using Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Basic Beige, and Peaceful Pine ink. Once they were punched out, I taped them together. I added Dimensionals to the back and set them in place on the front of the card. 

A linen bow was tied and glued to the end area of the stems.

I didn't know what I was going to do with the card but I did add a label that will have something on it, or not. It will depend on the words and their size.  

This was a fun card to make and I like how colorful it is for fall.  

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's card,

Radiant Sunflower, Sunflower Fields, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fall birthday card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4' x 5-1/4" piece of Golden Glow card stock for the largest layer and I taped it to the front of the card.

Then I cut a 4-1/2" x 2-3/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Sunflower Fields" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the Gold Glow piece with equal spacing at the sides and top.

Next I took a 3" x 3-3/4" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the leaves folder from the "Seasonal Cheer" mini embossing folder set. There is a folder in there with bats on it and I forgot all about it or I would have used it more on my Halloween cards.  Oh well, I'm planning on keeping the set so I'll probably be using it next year.

I cut a 1-1/2" x 3" strip of DSP from the same package. I glued it to the left side of the embossed piece. It's about 1/4" from the left edge. Then that piece was glued to the front of the card on top of the DSP, creating equal spacing on the sides and top.

The circle was cut next. I used the third one in the "Stylish Shapes" set. The words were stamped on it next. They are from the "Cutest Crew" bundle and were stamped using Early Espresso ink. I stamped them to the left so I'd have room for the flowers.

I created the flowers next. I cut them from dies in the "Radiant Sunflower" bundle. I cut one from some DSP and the other from Cajun Craze card stock. The stem is from Mossy Meadow. I glued the stem down first and then the flowers. I was careful not to add glue to the back of the petals where they wouldn't be touching anything.

Dimensionals were added to the back of the circle and it was set in place on the front of the card and the card was done.

This was a fun card to make. I love cards with layers and this one had four, plus the circle!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Oh My Fright, Spooktacular, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Halloween card to share with you. I didn't take a very long break from making Halloween cards but I saw this cute one and had to make it. I found it on Pinterest. You can see the original card by clicking here. Please read on to see how it was made. I changed it a bit because I didn't want to make that type of fold. I don't often do fun folds because many of the people who get the cards don't know how to open them, so I just make standard opening cards. 

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White and taped it to the inside of the card.

On the front right I cut a 4" x 4" piece of Basic White card stock and on top of that is a 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Spooktacular"  6" x 6" package. I taped the two pieces together and then taped that to the front of the card using equal spacing on the top, right and bottom.

On the left side I cut a 1" x 4" strip of DSP from the same package. I taped it to the left side.

Next I stamped the ghost from the "Oh My Fright" bundle. I hadn't used that image yet. I stamped the ghost on the Basic White piece using Smoky Slate ink. The words are from the same bundle and were stamped using Crushed Curry ink. I cut them out using a die from the "Stylish Shapes" set. I used a retired circle die to cut the Basic Black layer. I taped the circles together.

I cut a piece of ribbon and taped the ends together. I ended up making two loops because I cut my piece of ribbon too long. I thought I'd just add two to use it up because it was so small that I probably would have ended up tossing it at a later date. I added tape to the upper left on the back so I could set the ribbons in place. I laid the ribbons on my worktable and then set the circle in place.  I turned the circle over and added tape all over the place. I set the circle in place on the front of the card.

The cute embellishments are from the "Bats, Ghosts & Dots" adhesive-backed package. And that was it, the card was done.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,

Sunflower Fields, Radiant Sunflower, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have another card using some parts sitting around. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Mossy Meadow card stock. It opens in the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside.  

The front of the card I had a piece that was leftover from a card a made a while ago. You can see that card by clicking here.  I had cut the Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Sunflower Field" 12" x 12" package. The two pieces of DSP were cut at 4" x 4". They were cut along the diagonal at 1" from the opposite sides. When I cut the second piece, I cut the diagonal on the opposite direction. To clarify, I marked the right side down 1" from the top and on the opposite side, the left side, I marked it at 1" from the bottom. And for the other sheet I marked the upper left and bottom right. Once cut at the 1" mark, I taped the top piece to a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and the other piece was taped to the bottom.  There were two extra pieces left and those were used on today's card. I had already taped them to a piece of Basic White card stock and it was ready for a future card. I taped this to the front of the card base.

I cut the circle from the "Spotlight on Nature" and stamped it using the words from the "Radiant Sunflower" bundle using Early Espresso ink. Much like yesterday's card.

I made the same flowers like yesterday's card. There was an extra small flower because the die cut two and and an extra base because the die cut two. 

The leaves were cut using Mossy Meadow card stock. The flowers are from Crushed Curry card stock. The flower centers are from Early Espresso card stock. I glued the centers of the flowers in place. I added tape to the back of the vase and set the leaves in place. Then tape was added to the back of the flowers and they were set in place. Once I arranged them to how I thought they looked the best, I added glue to the back and set it in place on the circle. I made sure I didn't cover the words.

Dimensionals were added to the back of the circle and it was set in place on the center of the card. I tied a linen bow and glued it to the vase and the card was done.

It was nice to get these pieces uses and off my worktable before they got ruined.

This was a fun, quick and easy card to make. 

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,

Radiant Sunflower, Sunflower Fields, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a thinking of you card to share with you. I found it on Pinterest. It was the embossed background that drew me to this card. You can see the original card by clicking here. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Softly Woven" embossing folder. I glued it to the card base.

Next I cut the top layers. I used Cajun Craze for the large layer. On top of that is a piece of Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the "Sunflower Fields" 12" x 12" package. I taped the DSP to the Cajun Craze piece and then that was glued to the front of the card, centering it as much as I could be eyeing it.  

The circle is from the "Spotlight on Nature" dies. I stamped the words from the "Radiant Sunflower" bundle using Early Espresso ink. I set it aside.

The vase was cut next from another piece of DSP in the same package. The die cuts two at a time so I cut two. I'm sure I'll find a use for the other one. I cut two stems from Mossy Meadow card stock. Then I cut the flowers from Crushed Curry card stock and the centers from Early Espresso card stock. I glued the center of the flowers on.

I added a little tape to the back of the vase and added the stems. Then I added the flowers with a little bit of tape. I turned them over and arranged them to look nice. I laid it on top of the circle to see where the words would go. I stamped the words from the "Radiant Sunflower" bundle using Early Espresso ink. Then I turned the flowers and vase back over and added glue. I set the piece in place on the circle, making sure the words weren't covered.

I added Dimensionals to the back of the circle and set it in place on the front of the card.  I set the circle in place on the front of the card, centering it as much as I could by eyeing it. 

A linen bow was tied and glued to the top of the vase and the card was done.

This was a pretty easy and quick card to make. I still like the textured background.  

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,

Frightfully Fun, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun Halloween card to share with you. It's fun because of the layout. I struggled with it the first time I worked it but it was okay because I worked it on copier paper. I like to have a physical sample for later use. I add the date I used it so I can go back and view it for reference. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside.

A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic Black card stock was cut to build the pieces on.

On the front, I cut a 2-1/8" x 2-1/8" piece of Basic White card stock for the focal piece. I marked the center of the card so I could add the square and have it centered. I was a little off on the lower left. You really need to be spot on with centering. Next time the pencil comes out! LOL I taped that square to the center and then began adding the Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Frightfully Fun" 12" x 12" package.  I started with the upper left piece. I lined the bottom edge of that piece along the line with the center square. The excess was trimmed off.

The bottom right was added next and it was trimmed. Then the other two corners were added. 

On the center I lightly scrubbed on some pumpkin pie ink. Then I used a sticker from the "Frightfully Fun" sticker package. The bats and words are also from that same sticker package. 

I added some white dots from the "Bats, Ghosts & Dots" package and the card was done.

Once I figured out how to add the pieces, it was easier to make. I can't wait to try this with a fall and Christmas card.  

I'm taking a break from Halloween cards for now. I may add one or two more before the end of the month but for now, I'm done.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,

Frightfully Fun, Oh My Fright, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I'm going to share with you two Halloween cards. I might make a couple more Halloween cards this week and then I'm going to move onto some fall cards. I have plenty of Halloween cards and I'm kind of getting burnt out on making them. PLUS, I want to make fall and Christmas cards! Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The bases of both cards is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. The top large layer is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and was textured using the "Swirls of Magic" embossing folder. I was able to texture both pieces at the same time. That embossing folder is very long.  I glued the textured piece to the front of the card.

Next I cut the Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Frightfully Fun" 12" x 12" package of Designer Series Paper (DSP). They measure 3-1/4" x 3-1/4". The layer behind the DSP is Basic Black and measures 3-1/2" x 3-1/2". I taped the two layers together and added Dimensionals to the back. I set the piece in place on the front of the card with equal spacing on the top and each side.

Earlier this month I had stamped the words that were used on both cards and had extras.  The words are from the "Oh My Fright" bundle. I had die cut the Pumpkin Pie colored one using a die from the "Banner Sayings" set and the other was just cut on the paper cutter. It measures 2-1/8" x 1-1/4" and is on Basic White card stock. I set both word pieces in place using Dimensionals.

On the cat image I added some dots from the "Bats, Ghosts & Dots" embellishments package. I chose the cat image because I found it to be very challenging and it was the perfect way to use it! 

And on the ghost DSP card, I added some bats from the same package of embellishments. And that was it!

These were very quick and easy cards to make. I'm still doing the quick and easy due to my finger injury. It's getting SO much better. A few more days and I should be able to leave the bandage off (hopefully).  I did find an interesting layout and I think I'm going to give it a try for tomorrow. It's got more pieces and not quite as quick. I hope it turns out because I haven't been able to find any instructions or measurements on this layout!  Now I know you're excited to come back tomorrow to see what!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween cards,
Wanda

Spooktacular, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Halloween card to share with you that I found on Pinterest. You can see the original card by clicking here. I just like this simple layout and being it used some Halloween Designer Series Paper (DSP) I wanted to try it out even more. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Pumpkin Pie card stock. A 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock was taped to the inside. I'm still up in the air if I want to stamp "Happy Halloween" on the inside. I probably will.

On the front, a strip of DSP from the "Spooktacular" 6" x 6" package was cut at 1-3/4" x 5-1/2".  I taped it to the center of the card.

The pumpkin face is from the same package of DSP and it measures 3" x 3". I cut a piece of Granny Apple Green card stock at 3-1/8" x 3-1/8". I taped the two pieces together.

A 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" piece of Basic Black card stock and the Granny Apple Green layers were taped on top. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the center of the card.

The embellishments are from the "Bats, Ghosts & Dots" package. I used a couple black dots and a ghost from that package and the card was done.

With the first craft fair done, I feel like I have some time to breathe again (till the next one). I have five weeks until the next one. It's my largest one and then one in December. I've never done that one before so I'm not sure what I'm getting into. I signed on hoping to just deplete a lot of inventory at the end of the crafting season.  

Update on the finger. It still hurts and it's still being kept from bending, bending is not a good thing yet. Hopefully it will start to feel better soon.  So in the meantime I will be making simple cards. Even typing is a bit of a struggle. 

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,
Wanda
