I just love this card. The sheep shaped card is not my original idea, it has been around for a bit but not sure who the original designer was. I just changed it from white and black to orange and Black to make it a halloween card and B, ewe to the front instead of Boo. Sorry about the "B" not how i wanted it to be but knew i had to use a different style of font than the "ewe" and my letter stamps were either way too big or didnt look right. Hope you enjoyed my card.
I used rough type alphabert for the "ewe" and embossed it with black ep with silver sparkles and added them with a dimensional. Any other questions feel free to ask.

PPA #21 - Male Christmas Card
I created this card for The Paper Players Challnge. I wanted to try this color combe for a while (I used choc chip, night of navy and whisper white.
The navy background with the white squares is a piece of dsp from the presto patterns Specialty dsp that i brayed with night of navy ink.
The snowflake i embossed the Simple Snowflake stamp in white on navy cs and punched out with the snowflake punch. To the center I added a 5/16 choc chip brad and attached to a piece of white cs
The sentiment is from the Teeny tiny wishes and punched out with a large oval punch. I then punched out a lg oval from choc chip and night of navy cardstock and cut them in half and layered them onto the sides. I attached the shite oval using dimensionals.
I used 3/4" choc chip ribbon.

Ghost and Pumpkin Treat Holder
I cased the idea of turning the treat holder die from the Holiday Mini into a flat bottom from Julie -Please see her blog for instructions of how to turn it into a box
http://juliedavison.blogspot.com/2010/09/candy-wrapper-ghost.html
I changed her ghost so it was more feminine by adding a happy smile and eyelashes
The ghost face is made by 1/4 black punched circles and hi-lighted with a white gel pen and added eyelashes with a basic black marker and tied 1/8 pumpkin pie tafetta ribbon into a bow. The mouth is simply half of a 1/2" circle punch.
The Pumpkin was made with Pumpkin Pie cardstock and embossing the face from the carved and candlelite stamp set (retired -but there is a face in the current catalogue that would work in its place)
Hope YOu enjoy.

Acorn Punch Art - PPA64
I cased the acorn from a fellow stamper named Frenchie (http://www.frenchiestamps.com/) and just simplified it since i didnt have any linen thread to make hair and a bow.
The acorn is made with the ornament punch and the top is from the lg oval - punch it out then move punch up on the cut out and punch out the hat
I also used the log cabin smooch spritz on the creamy caramelbackground
I used mellow moss for the base of the card -sorry it looks way better in person than it does on camera
I also used the pumpkin pie brad from the glimmer brads in the holiday mini
Hope u enjoy this cute fall card

Spoonful of Sugar Challenge 125 - Winter Wonderland
I created this card for a winter wonderland theme - of course had to have a snowman and iridescent ice embossed snow. I sed night of navy and red brads for a little embellishment - the faux stitching between the separated card stocks didnt work so well. by 3 year said "Wow - pretty" when he saw the finished card, so i am happy with the results lol.
