I.M. Scary ~ Curtain Call Spooky Scene; NBUS #59

Greetings!

I hope you all enjoyed World Card Making Day last Saturday!  I'm sorry I missed that!

 

This is actually a scheduled post.  As you're reading this I will still be at my sister's house packing, cleaning, or drinking.  Prolly all three at once.  I'm pretty sure my kegels will be shot by now from trying hard not to pee from laughing so hard. It's what we do.  In fact, we've no doubt given up and switched to adult protective wear.  What the hey, hey?  It's better'n being crumpy!

Um, crumpy?  I rather like that.  A cranky grump?  Oh, now, we'll have none of that.

 

Before I left, I made another Halloween card, which will make Kim and Annie so proud!  This was a super QACAS card made from dimensional stickers.  EZPZ.  I am entering it into the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge.  (That is to say I'll enter it if I can finger out how to link it from my crackPad.) 

Isn't that a fun inspiration photo?!  The only thing missing is a giant cauldron of candy!

 

Here's my Spooky Scene card.  I've made it extra spooky for you by showing it in black and white with a spot of focus pocus color on the skeledude.

Here it is in real life color:

I simply cut my card at a slope angle to resemblage a gravestone and added some ancient starry paper for a mat.  I applied the K&Company stickers which are NBUS and which I've had since an after-Halloween sale last year.  The skeleton came in that giant assortment of sequints from Darice you know about and the moon was fussy-cut from one of Kim's kit papers and pop-dotted.

I have a couple of photos of young 'ens that I keep forgetting to share with you, so I'll do that today:

 

Some of you will remember my heartbreak in the spring when the little bird family of five chicks I was watching grow in the nest became some other critter's dinner, as often happens in nature.  Well, a few weeks ago I saw this little guy on the deck:

Sorry it's not very clear.  I took the picture quickly before he flew back up into the tree, wobbly as a toddler.  He obviously came from a nest which didn't get raided which made me happy.  I love that he is still sprouting his new bird fluffy eyebrows!  And what a crumpy look he gave me!!

Also, twins Henry (left) and Adam had picture day at school for Third Grade recently and their talented mom got this great shot before they headed off to school:

No crumpiness there!  I don't think you can get any more adorable than that!!

Enjoy your day!  No, seriously, enjoy.  LITS*
