November tag 2012 for my Tag Swap, Theme "Thanksgiving".  My swap partner is "Fran" after looking at her blog she likes old vintage, she has a lot of country items so I am hoping she will like this Patriotic Thanksgiving image, I am inspired because it is election night and I am still waiting to find out who our next president is.  These two seem to be thankful for "Peace and Plenty of Prosperity" I too wish this for all, and hope the elected President will want the same things for all.
Now this one makes me laugh, I love this stamp.  Last year Susan Larson gave me this stamp and I thinks it is soooooo cute.  I added the "Eat Ham".  Anything to help a turkey out.  The pumpkins are my own design, I am sending this tag to Fran as well.  One tag is never enough.  I think I will make a few of these for Sandy, Kristy, Amy, Susan and Cindy so they can keep them out during the holiday.  I have to get these 2 tags in the mail to Fran.  The back of this tag is glimmer misted and embossed with Thanksgiving and Grateful stamps.
 Halloween 2012 at the Credit Union, we are up to our old antics, making our decorations a bit dark and scary without going over the top.  Some of the decorations are cute.....
 some are creepy, especially the guy in the back round...........lol
 who?
 I don't think this guy is a real doctor......both hands in the candy dish, I guess he is not a Dentist....say Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 more spooky stuff
 are those fingers in the pot......ewwwwwwwwwww, again another scary guy in the back round.....
see the guy in the coffin?........he likes it HOT HOT HOT, this little guy drove Steve crazy if you press his hand he singer "Hot Hot Hot".....lol it's cute........well Steve does not think so.
 Halloween 2012 "Are you my Mummy?" This was Halloween cute, I usually like scary, this was one of my tags swaps.
 "Beware of Spiders" and things that go bump in the night.
 "Boo"
 "Trick of Treat" I love these little halloween kid stamps, too cute!!
Halloween 2012 Treat bag.  Gave "Toe Tags" out at work with the cause of death stated, anything from a "tie too tight" to "eating too much candy".  It was fun!  I didn't get pictures of all my Halloween cards, I picked up a new stamp that was awesome, it was an  image of skull with a spider in it, it made a great card, a bit spooky, and a great vintage dead clown card.  Played a trick on Amy with a roach in an envelope with a paperclip wound up......hahaha it worked too bad I was a city away when she opened it.  Thanks for the idea Sandy, my evil sidekick.

 I love this vintage picture, I used it for a tag swap during the summer,  had saved those tiny star fish for like 2 years waiting for the right time to use them.
 This sweet little number is for a young girl, hopefully a ballerina.  I love the feathers, and the rhinestones.  White White White.  This tag does not have a home yet, but in time I will need it for someone.  I have been asked to create one in pink, so that is my next project.
 Another Birthday card, inspired from a card I found on pinterest.  Don't you just love pinterest, I do!  This card was a bit of a patchwork.
 Wedding card for my son and daughter in law, my sister loves dragon flies, so I made it for her to give to my son.  Their wedding was a shade of lime and black, it was lovely....lol the wedding.
 Another wedding card for my son, I used this one, again I used lime green accents on the white.
 Another pinterest find, I made this card, no pattern I loved the design and figured out how to make it work, I used all the small colored stickies, I need to find more, I would remake this one again and again, it is also hard to find large envelopes at a good price.  This card went to my sister, she begged for it I had no choice, and I would not have wanted to give it to anyone else but her.
 Ahhhhhhh fall, when I was making this one I could feel the seasons start to change, since I live in Florida this was quite an achievement...lol  We only have one season.....HOT!  I love every element of this tag, the torn and distressed papers, the different fabrics, flowers, leaves and fibers.  This tag went to a swap partner in Canada, O Canada!  I also love the way this picture turned out, I have to get better at photographing them, this is a start.
This tag was fun I made several of these all a bit different, but I do like the cupcake tags with the rosettes.  I sent this one along with the autumn tag above to a swap partner in Canada.

Simple yet sweet, this tag is a smaller version of a card I made earlier.  I sent that card to my Mom her Birthday is today.  Happy Birthday Mom.  These are fresh looking and are perfect for the summertime.  One of my co workers is out recovering right now, I will make this card again as a "Get Well & Thinking of you" card.
This tag is from the Graphic 45 "Once upon a springtime collection", I love the paper, love the paper, love the paper.  Sometimes we do have to kiss a lot of frogs, and sometimes a frog is just a frog...lol.  Did I mention I love this paper.
