WOYWW #226; LIM #139; ATCAS #23

Hi Every Body!  I'm so happy to see you!

Today I've got my desk on display for the current What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday (WOYWW), hosted by our dear Julia.  She can tell you all about it, if you're unfamiliar.  All you have to do is click on her.  She's easy like that.

After last week's revamp, all heck broke loose in the Playhouse in a flurry of autumn.

I'm working on the card you'll see below and a couple of others, so strewn about are all the requisite card-making tools.  And, of course, my tall glass of wodka.  I was going to ask you if you find that you are misplacing the caps to your tools more often?  I mean you just take the cap off a marker and color one little tiny bit and then when you go to replace the top, what?  Where?  How is that even possible?  But now that I've mentioned the wodka, you'll prolly just say, "Well, no, but I can venture a guess why'st that might be happening to you!" 

On the feature wall this week, I'm happy to show you this close-up:

I was thrilled to receive my own original ICAD work of art from my sweet friend, Redanne.  You can find more information here.  It's so beautiful!  The adorable friend card with the two little girls on the front came from another dear friend, Susan.  Thank you, Annie and Susan!

Here is a close-up of the card I made today for Addicted to CAS where the code word is "Autumn/Fall."  I'm also entering it in the current sketch challenge at Less Is More.  To keep this shorter, please click on the links provided for the details.  Here is my card:

 

The fun die-cut sediment came as happy mail from another friend, Geri.  As soon as I saw it, I knew I had just the image to go along with it.  (Sadly, it came from a stamp company that is no longer in business.)  Thank you, Geri!

You can't really tell, but I put Dimensional Magic on the punkin and the paper is glossy, so it's a really fun shiny card IRL.  The base is embossed with Sizzix "Honeycomb" EF.

 

I know Halloween is not a huge holiday in some parts of the world, but if you are looking for inspiration, I did several other cards in the post below this one and there are great links for even more ideas. 

 

For those of you who asked about the bat poop card from that post, the circle image is backed with mulberry paper, the poop splatter is made from a Paper Smooches stamp set called "I Heart Art," and the poop on the table is actually chocolate-covered sunflower seeds.  (And, ps, they are delicious!!)

Some of you may remember that last March I traveled to one of my sister's homes to help her stage her house for sale.  I'm delighted to report that her house has sold!  I'll be leaving Saturday for about a week to go back and help her pack up for her move to the home of another sister, so I will miss next week's WOYWW.

 

Enjoy today's hop and next week's, too, and I'll see you when I get back.  Since I am not leaving until the weekend, I will be visiting as many of you as I can before I go.  If you stop by, please leave a comment and let me know your number, so I can be sure and return the flavor!!

 

Mwah!
