Happy Halloween!

 

Happy Halloween! 

I would have designed several Halloween cards for you to make at the Stamp Along but, alas, there will be no Stamp Along for several months!  This cute card was made by Sharon from her Paper Pumpkin kit and given to me so I am sharing it with you along with my Halloween greetings! 

Since we haven't been able to stamp together at the Library, I have started to do a Mystery Stamping challenge on Face Book. If you are on FB, please check it out. Search for Mystery Stamping with Carolee and ask to join the group. I post the supplies you need on Tuesday night (late) and the directions to assemble the supplies on Wednesday night (late) then you can create your card when you have time. You take a picture of your card and post it in the comment section before Sunday at noon. I put the names of everyone that posted in the special container and draw one out (if there are at least ten posted) and send that person a little participation gift. It is free but I do appreciate any orders of things that you "need" from Stampin' Up!

Here are a few of the results of the Mystery Stamping Challenges. 

This one was a challenge for me to write all of the directions! I must have done ok because there were several wonderful cards posted that week! You can go to the group and check them out for yourself. 

This one is a simpler design and much easier for which to write directions. 

Both of these could have gone to the Stamp Along for you to make. 

The only difference would have been that I would have had the supplies there for you to use. 

This is one of the cards that I will include with the orders this month. Next Monday is the second Monday of the month and I continue to place an order on that day. 

I am so very appreciative to all of you that are helping me to stay afloat! Since I am not using all that cardstock to cut and pack for the cards that are made at the Stamp Along, my own orders are much smaller also. I have been joining swaps and this is one that I made for one that is coming up. It is designed to be an Anniversary or wedding card (there is bling on the lady zebra's hoof) but it could be for any celebration. 

I have not designed the other one that I will include yet but there will be two cards to show my appreciation for your order. If you would like to order on line instead of emailing or calling it to me that is fine. Please use the hostess code

If your order is over $150 (before shipping) you will receive the hostess benefits, so don't use the code but I will still send the two cards to you, along with my thanks and appreciation!
