You're Spooktacular - Spooky Card Series 2022 #3

For my next card in the Spooky Card Series 2022, I used only one of the Spooky Nights Layering Stencil stencils to white heat emboss some spooky stars on Jelly Donut cardstock.  To make a focal point, I used several of the scary ghosts from the Ghost Gang Die & Clear Combo.



For the sentiment, I used the retired Caps Lock - Boo die on some Oreo cardstock.  Before die cutting, I covered the cardstock with Black Sparkle embossing powder.  To finish off the card, I used one of the sentiments from the Simple Strips - Halloween.


Have a (hauntingly) good day.

Back Soon

Sometimes, when you least expect it, life throws you a curveball.  And sometimes it throws you another!

I took a week off from the blog in early September for a planned vacation, and enjoyed myself immensely. I traveled to a nearby city for shopping, fancy dining, and a concert.  Unfortunately when I came back home, I tested positive for Covid 19.  Several of my coworkers and family have had it and were back to normal in just a few days, so I thought I would be to.  Well, was I wrong! I was miserable for several days, I am so thankful that I didn't have a serious case, but it completely wiped my energy out for weeks. 

The second curveball was a hospitalization and major surgery in a city over 2 hours away for my grandmother. It was a scary week while we waited for her to wake up.  Thankfully she is awake now, but not out of the woods. It will be a long journey for her, but we are hopeful to have her back nearby soon and home soon after that. 

I am now getting my normal level of energy back and not worried out of my mind, so hope to be back to card making soon. I have some super cute cards in mind to finish the Spooky Card Series 2022 out strong.
