Well we had some pretty exciting weather here in Minnesota last night about 9:30 I was sitting in my craft room with the fan on and listening to some music and I thought I heard a siren so I turned off the music and then the fan and realized the Tornado sirens were going off. I immediately yelled to my son to check the weather and found out that a tornado had possibly touched down just west of us and that there were several funnel clouds in the suburbs around us. When it gets hot here in Minnesota it usually brings severe weather and yesterday was the perfect day for it. We had very hot and very humid weather mixed in with some rain. Yuck.
Finally it is Sunday and the start of a new week over at 365 Cards and this weeks sponsor is Art Glitter. Well any of you who know me ~ know that I do not like glitter, actually I don't like anything shiney. Sunday is also Super Sketch Sunday and Pam had a sketch for us to follow. Simple sketch for me equals naked card. Well you know I just had to use my new twilight paper again today along with my new Martha Stewart Spider punch that my friend Jeanne bought for me this week. I just love spiders.
Today I need to get busy and start getting stuff ready for the garage sale that I am having with my niece on Thursday, Friday and Saturday next week. If you are in the area stop by as I will have lots of stamps, and other crafting goodies for you. If you want to come email me and I will give you the address.
Enjoy~
details:
ink: ranger jet black, chalk ink chestnut roan
paper: neenah black and natural white linen, memory box "twilight"
stamps: inky antics
accessories: may arts ribbon, lasting impressions buttons, stickles, ribbon slide from stash, spider punch martha stewart
These papers are beautiful just like the other papers Sherry. Anyone that knows me knows I hate spiders I have a real phobia about them. We have one of the deadliest ones in the world here in Australia and in our area. They are called Funnel Web spiders, they look almost like your black spiders on your card. . . but awesome card.

I'm glad you all made it through the weather unharmed - It gets pretty bad here in OK as well. Our sirens get so confused though. We never know if they're going off because of a tornado THREE towns over or if there's really one here haha
ReplyDeleteI love your card!!! So Halloweeny and great! Great job!!
Yipes, tornado???!!!
ReplyDeleteI love glitter :) Love your take on the sketch...your naked card..LOL
How funny! I LOVE spiders on paper, but like Michelle, I have a true fear of them! Great card!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I'm glad you survived the exciting weather. Yipes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great take on the sketch! I love, love, love the paper - and that you've used a spider for a bow. Clever and fun!
You don't like glitter??? *shock* Well, maybe, just maybe, this week will convince you about the beauty of bling. Not that you need it, your work is stunning without it! And what an amazing punch! I'm not very fond of spiders, but that one is a killer!
ReplyDeleteLove the paper and the card. I'm not into making Halloween cards but I could go for this one!
ReplyDeleteTorando fun? Anyone who lives in the Midwest should have a tornado story! Mine - My MIL was in a nursing home in June, my SILs and I stopped about 9pm to check on her. Sirens went off, rooms of elderly being evacuated (half naked old people - not a pretty sight). My SIL from Maryland is terrified and hunches on the floor! My MIL? She slept through it!
Hope today is better for you!
Have to say the hairs on my arms stood on end. If I took that out of an envelope I would have dropped it in fright....but it's a fabulous card regardless. You can keep your tornadoes too...not nice!
ReplyDeleteI love this one Sherry. It's brilliant!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, a poppet is a lttle cutie!

fantastic card! love the spider :) and now i know why you have spiders in your basement lol
ReplyDeleteOh sheesh Sherry, I am glad nothing too bad happened with that weather in your area. That is just so frightening to me. Glad youre ok! Love the cute card too. The spidey is adorable and I love the little buckle at the top. I like what it does to the ribbon. Nice job! I feel like I have been gone forever, so its good to 'see' you again!
ReplyDeleteStamps at your garage sale?! I want some!! Send me a pic of what you've got!
ReplyDeleteI luv the Halloween card, it's my favorite holiday!
