Halloween Card ~ Pumpkin Patch {2nd Post}

HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!

My favorite part of Halloween is 

opening the door for our trick or treat visitors.

For years there were NO young kids in our neighborhood.

Consequently that meant we had NO trick or treat visitors.

Slowly that has turned around and last year we got about 30.

Can't wait to see how many little cuties ring the bell.

Thank You Card ~ Merci, Gracias, Thanks

I have a bright and colorful thank you card to share.

Wedding Card ~ Happily Ever After

Tonight we are attending the wedding of one of my nephews.

Here is the card I made for them.

 I stamped the sentiment inside then wrote the message with a metallic gold marker.

I wanted to make the envelope front a little special so

 I stamped the star and colored it in with the gold marker.

The prince and princess were cut from their wedding announcement.
