Here is my last card that I had to add. It is once again with the just jawing stamp set I also used the halloween paper from last year. Which I really love and now wish that I had ordered more of while it was still available. This post is dated for earlier in the month because I saved the picture but I am late posting. We are in Las Vegas for a quick getaway without kids. Craig has been here for three weeks for trade shows for work and I flew in this morning to spend a couple of days and then we will head home. Driving yes my very favorite thing to do I must really love him cause truth be told I kind of wanted to say I'll fly in for the weekend but I better fly home to be with the kids and you can drive it by yourself. And you can think I am horrible but lets face it who wouldn't prefer an hour long flt to a six hour drive. Hopefully I am not the only one out there. Yes Craig is reading this over my shoulder and now he knows what a horrible wife I am. Surprise surprise I guess that big surprise is that it really isn't a surprise after all. We are going to go and see a couple of cirque shows this weekend thanks to my sisters great boyfriend Billy. Hi Billy and Jenn and thanks again so very much. Unfortunately he couldn't make the trip at the last moment so Jenn went to New York instead and it is just Craig and I for the weekend. Well I want to say Hi to my boys really quick if they are reading and we love you.

My recipe is written down at home next to my work computer so I am going to try and recreate it
Paper: basic black, pumpkin pie and old olive
Ink: versamark with pearlex for the skull and black for the flowers
Stamps: just jawwing
Other: flower fusion, brads, pretties kit, black grosgrain ribbon and the black and white checkered (that I can't remember the name for right now) I zigzag stitched the two ribbons together with white thread.

Thanks for looking have a great weekend.

Ok I don't know why I try and put deadlines on myself it just doesn't work. Here is another card that I made last week or the week before this was done with Craig in mind. He is a huge Jack fan. I could have sworn that I had boughten some Nightmare stickers, when I noticed the spider web thingy on this paper it reminded me of those. Well I can't find the stickers but I had held onto the tag off of something Jack that we had boughten. So I just cut the head off of it and made a gift card instead of a bigger one. I thought that it turned out pretty cute when I showed it to Craig he just nodded indifferently. I think that he just blocks me out when I start talking stamping, oh well I guess I do the same when he starts yammering on about that one really lame sport that seems to be popular right now. You know the one where they chase that little bouncy ball around on the court and try to throw it up in the hoops hanging from the ceiling. Hahaha. Sorry Craig you know I don't follow the volleyball though. Bet you don't know what show that is from. Hope everyone is doing well, we are missing Craig but things are going good. Jacob and I have been using the cricket machine like mad today I think that we went through 3 packages of paper but we had fun. I got it for christmas and just barely pulled it out and I can't believe that I haven't used it before now. It was so much fun.

Recipe:
Paper: Halloween paper from last fall mini catalog, basic black

Other: pumpkin grosgrain ribbon and Jack tag

Thanks for looking and hope everyone is happy and loving life.
