Halloween Grandma

Here is another frightful card coming your way! And this one has a special trick to it!

The picture of Grandma is actually a sticker (it's a really solid sticker, not flimsy at all).  The picture changes as you move it.  This is like those neat 3-D baseball cards where the players move.  I got the stickers (6 to a package) at Michael's from their Remembrance Collection.  Each sticker is different with a different person and style of sticker.

Grandma's Two Faces!
If you turn the card one way, Grandma looks fine!

But when you turn the card the other way, watch out! Grandma isn't grandma anymore!

I love these black glitter candelabras.  They are just the right touch!  Did you notice the bat wings?

Stay tuned for another scary card coming your way!

En Afrique - a collage card (Kaarten met collage)

Hi everyone and happy weekend to you.  I am getting over a cold and feeling better today.

I've had this picture for a while on my work table and finally made a card with it.  I hope you like it.

When I use pictures of people I always wonder who they were and what they were thinking when the picture was made. What was their life like?  I try my best to be respectful when adding their images to my cards.

I love maps!  And 7 Gypsies has just come out with a wonderful set of papers that are nothing but maps! Yippee! So, of course I had to use one here!

It took me a while to decide how I wanted to lay out my card. When I added the blue ribbon, it was pretty bright. So, I added Tim's film strip ribbon over top of it which worked nicely with the theme of travel too.

While this gilded decoration's original orientation was vertical, I used it horizontally to point the way to the map.

I used a strip from a 7 Gypsies ATC overlay on the bottom of my picture and added beige pearls.

I added one frame of Tim Holtz' film strip to accent the word Africa on the map.

I hope you liked today's card. Come back again for more ideas and inspiration!
