Good Thursday morning! I hope y’all have had a good week so far. I would tell you the story of what happened yesterday but . . . . I’m sure you would find it pretty boring. Let’s put it this way . . . four of us went to get passports, two post offices later . . . . two got them, two did not. Am I one who did? Well of course not! My certified birth certificate is no longer good for obtaining a passport (even though it says it is right there on the page) . . . so I’ll be delayed a month or so. That’s okay, there is plenty of time to get my passport and to lose a few extra pounds. My sister and I are calling it “Losin’ for Cruisin’!”
Enough about that . . . but we are very excited. All four of the adult children (and their spouses except for mine) are going on a 7-day cruise with the momma (step-momma for two of them). See I can’t let it go . . . February is a way off!
Fast reverse to a few days ago in the studio. Card making! While at CHA I picked up a couple of Unity – Itty Bitty Stamps. One of them was Halloween and since I’ve been in the mood to make Halloween cards recently, I couldn’t resist.
Here’s the outside:
The little ghost was colored with Copic Markers and then mounted on varying circle die templates from Spellbinders™. The edges of the paper were distressed and then sponged with Antique Linen Distress Ink. The border was made with 2 of the new Edgeabilities. See that sentiment . . . How do GHOSTS like to dance? . . . well look at the inside
I LOVE it!
By the way, the seam binding was dyed with a mix of Dusty Concord and Sky Blue to get just the right shade of purple.
Well that’s it for today except . . . remember life is short, embrace the adventures of the day!
Thanks for stopping by!

You ARE the greatest ! You are always out-doing yourself.
That card is hilarious!!! Love the papers you used for it and the wrinkly ribbon. Perfect!
Hope your passport come soon. I was like you. I thought a birth certificate was good for life! Who knew they could expire! 😀
Thanks for sharing! 🙂
