Bat Hanging from a Tree Halloween Easel card

A friend of mine had asked me to make a card for her to give to her nephew for Halloween.  I racked my brain and couldn't decide on what to make.  I decided to ask her to come over and we'd create it together and this is what we came up with. 

We used these items to create this card:

• Design Studio
• Cricut cartridge Simply Charmed
• My Moments Peel n' Stick ribbon
• white gel pen

Here's just a view of the card:

Here is a close up of the front (you can really see the embossing):

We had a great time creating this card together and I'm sure her nephew will love it!

Throwback Thursday "Cricutless Challenge"

I finally decided on how I was going to attempt this "Cricutless Challenge" for Throwback Thursday at My Creative Time and this is what I came up with.  I'm so happy that this type of challenge was given, it made me (and I'm sure for others too) to re-explore life without Cricut.  The requirements for this challenge was to *** Create a CARD using the colors PURPLE, ORANGE, GREEN & BLACK and obviously not use your cricuts, imagines, e2's or your gypsy! *** But you could use punches &/or cuttlebug!  I knew right away I was going to use my cuttlebug, probably some stickers, ribbon and maybe a button or two. 

I am also entering this in the Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Halloween challenge

This is what I used to create this "Cricutless" card:

• Black, orange, purple, and green cardstock
• Cuttlebug
• D'vine Swirls embossing folder
• Stickles and Studio G glitter glue
• My Moments peel-n-stick ribbon
• Silk flower
• Crystal sticker (pumpkin in center of flower)
• (inside) Martha Stewart corner punch
• (inside) stamps

Thanks for looking and I think I may have to come up with some more projects without my Cricut, this was fun!!!
