Another card from the October Stamp of the Month! I also used the back of the Jingle Creative Basics paper – I like this back better than the front. I wish the photo could capture the red Stickles on the tree…very sparkly:

Bon Appetit

I had to get this stamp set! Fruit stamps are always good to have. And the wine bottle in one of the images is pretty nice, too (lol)! I wasn’t too keen about the Back Country paper, but it looks good flipped over:

Merry Monsters Hershey’s Miniatures Box

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

I made a whole bunch of these to give to my card club ladies and work friends. It is really small – the box is only 1.5 inches high! The squares that the monsters and stamped on are just one inch. Now I can say I’ve made inchies!
