Spooky Cards

Hello my friends! Thursday is here, so tomorrow is Friday... hooray! I have today off work, so I am enjoying some time at home playing catch up on some house work, blog posting and creating if I can squeeze it in! 

I'm not going to lie, this morning was rough for me... I think I am just really tired from working this past weekend with just one day off until today. I haven't really gone to bed when I should so I am not getting enough sleep. Am I the only one who stays up later after the kids are in bed just to enjoy some alone time without kiddos?? If I would only go to bed not long after they do, I would probably not feel this way. Ugh. 

Oh well, I will try better from now on. (Keep in mind, I have said this before, and I have a feeling I will be saying this again in the future.) 

Today I have two cards I made using My Mind's Eye's Lost & Found Halloween Collection. This collection has a vintage feel to it, which I love. Think apothecary, tonics, elixirs and poison bottles. That's what I see when I look at this collection. It reminds me a lot of the bottles and inspiration where I work. 

For this first card I created a broom stick out of a strip of some of the patterned paper and a river reed from a scent diffuser set that the company I work for makes. They make great mini broomsticks! I used some distress ink along with alcohol ink to color it like a broom. Some Doodlebug Doodle Twine was used at the top of the broom bristles. I plan on making a bunch more of these to use on a banner I plan on making. 

The second card is even more simple, with one patterned paper being the majority of the card with only a strip of solid cardstock at the bottom. The orange die cut with words is from the punch outs included in the Collection Kit. 

Below are the two cards together. I hope they make someone happy when I send them. :) 

Remember that there are lots of other new collections by My Mind's Eye available in the store, so be sure to check them out!!
