My letter is "R" Isn't that fun!! :) I have a cute card to share with you today. It uses this stamp . It's called Frog O'Lantern. It's so cute!!! And the tombstone stamp from plate 1433 To do the sky background, I punched a paper cloud using the Fiskars cloud punch, and inked around is using Distress Ink.  The ground is also Distress Ink. The tombstones were stamped with Archival Ink. Stamped once, then stamped again WITHOUT re-inking, to get that look like they are back in the distance.  And, here's your wiener! Sammy, singing his little heart out.

I'm out of town for my birthday weekend with my bestie at a scrapbooking retreat.  We've been having a blast so far!! I've got a good start on the kids' 8x8 scrapbooks for next year's Disney trip (5 albums!! YES, 5! My three kids, my niece, and my nephew). We caught a humming bird. Yep, you read that right. Friend caught the poor little thing. She was inside all day and they couldn't get her out. She was tiring out. I've done a few Disney layouts from the trip we took in August. I've played in the art journals. And today I'm working on Halloween party invitations! WOOHOO!! I spent some time doodling last night, and playing with watercolors. Yes, these look like a 12 year old drew them, but they are fun!
