I'll have a total of 5 Halloween cards. Thanks for looking. :D I may have to get a different orange ribbon for this. It came from my stash and I'm not sure if the store has the same thing. So, think of this as the "prototype".
We went to the International Wildlife Museum today. All the animals are real, just dead. This room was a surprise. It was really creepy. Imagine animals on all four walls from the floor to the ceiling. There was even a display of large cats in the center.
The Botanical Gardens was having a prehistoric theme this season. I've been wanting to take the kids and since they're starting school in a week, I thought I better go now!
We got there right at 8:30 am when they opened. My 8:45 both kids were complaining that they were hot. Oh, well. We stayed about an hour and then came home to the AC.
None of the pictures were touched up. Sorry, I'm feeling lazy today. They're straight from the camera.
cFor any of you locals that read my blog, my card class theme for August will be BasicGrey. We'll have 5 different sized cards using 5 different lines from BasicGrey. We'll also be doing a bit of distressing with edge distressers, water and distress ink. Maybe a bit of sandpaper, too. ;)
Here's a sample of one of the cards we'll be making. Not all the cards will be this masculine looking. We will have some flowers and pretty things, too.
Katrina thought it was funny that the watermelon looked like a smile and then a frown. I'll do just about anything to get them to let me take their picture. ;)
WeR, Sweetwater & Pink Paislee. I threw in a little Love, Elsie for fun. Also, I LOVE that new stamp from Technique Tuesday!!
These are for my monochromatic card class I'm having today. I normally don't post all the cards from my classes but I thought I'd do these. They're all using Technique Tuesday's Zoology stamp set.
Blogger only seems to let you upload so many pictures at one time. I missed these last night. Fancy Pants Sweet Spring. Katrina is reading to her animals (see them on her lap) in a paper puppy pen that her brother made. Pink Paislee. I think this is the replacement for Bing. We lost Bing towards the end of school and she has been upset about it ever since. We found this little pup at Legoland last week. My kids sure have a thing for small stuffed animals.
