An Autumn card and Two great little tools that I love

This is another card sketch that I just loved.  Had to give it a try and this is what I came up with.  Love the Penny Black stamps, they are just so cute!  Hope you like it!  This post is a little long because I did a little review on two of my new favorite tools.  Be looking for more cards this week. 



I picked up these great little tools that are two of my favs at the moment from Claire at my local stamp store, Stamp & Deliver.

Tim Holtz's paper distressing tool by Tonic.  Love this thing

The distressing tool does a really nice job on the edges of your paper.  It makes your paper look very thick and gives a lot of depth to your card.

The second one is the Quickie glue pen by Sukura.  This pen  lays down a wonderful fine line of glue that you can add glitter, flower soft, or foil to.  It's a great little pen-- I love it.  Gets into all those tiny little hard to get to areas.  You've got to give them a try.

Where did the weekend go...........

I was looking at several blogs this weekend and found a wonderful one that belongs to Denise Marzec of The Paper Landscaper.  She has some terrific card ideas.  I loved the sketches she used.  I cased a few of them and this is one of them but my version.

She has several more wonderful cards on her site which I can't wait to try the sketches  for so keep watching for new cards this week. Thank you Denise for such wonderful inspiring cards!  Have a wonderful evening and like I said keep watching for more cards this week. 

Beautiful weather.....

Today is so beautiful.  The temp is in the high 70's and we can open the house up and let some fresh air in!  What a wonderful feeling!  Some relief from the heat.  It probably won't stick around for long,

but we might actually get to put on a hoodie and snuggle.  Yay!  The card for today I made for the SplitCoast Stamper Challenge.  I can't believe I've made cards for several days.  My muse must be hanging out in my craft room for a while.  That's a good thing as Marth would say. :)  I hope you like it!

NOT--Isn't It The Cutest

Well this card is far from the cutest.  It's pretty creepy................this is so not me.
I'm all about cute! Loved this raven stamp though and just watched a thing about Poe
                                                 KAZAN'S  Sketch #36

on Warehouse 13 and then there was a raven in Vampire Diaries.See the power of  suggestion tv has on us.  That must be where this creepy idea came creeping from.    It's kind of scaring me....  Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww  I promise my next cards will be cute!
