Updated Confirmation Card - see post below too

OK, the blank space in the upper right hand corner was bothering me. I thought about a flourish last night when making it, but thought "nah that would be to girly", but then I got a comment from the lovely Lelia stating the same thing I was thinking, so I went for it!

I like it... religious art is beautiful & not gender specific, so this is a piece of religous art! :o)

I used perfect medium to stamp this beautiful corner flourish that I won from Yolie a while back (thanks Yolie) & I forgot to mention the ever so talented Penny Ducan (sorry Penny)... I used one her many nesting patterns for the sentiment mats on the front & inside of the card.

Looks better right?

Confirmation Card for a Boy

I made this for one of my neighbors, her son is making his confirmation... I feel like it needs something... the upper right hand corner looks too empty. I wanted to keep it simple since it is for a boy, but I think I could have done something else to it.

What do you think?

I added an envelope inside to put some cash.

Thanks for stopping by.

A few things rolled into one post...

First I wanted to say thank you to all who voted for my sons costume! They judge on 11/8 and notify the winner on 11/12, so fingers crossed!

I wanted to share a cool little thing called a Birthday Calculator... scroll below the advertisements and input your birthday info...

You might want to use tid~bits from it in a Birthday LO or a card...

check it out, it's pretty cool!

Here is a photo of my kido's on Halloween... the Pretty witch (w/ a bad streak) and the little frog that she is boiling away in her cauldron.

A wreath I made for Thanksgiving. Sorry for the flash.

A freezer paper T-shirt that I made for my Dad for his Birthday.
He owns an Auto body shop and on Fridays a few guys congregate there at 5pm to have a few beers...
they call it Beer o'clock...
I had to make this when I saw an SVG of clock faces on
Michelle's Adventures with Digital Creations Blog
I deleted the 5 & replaced it with a mug of beer that I converted into an svg.

And lastly...look at this amazing Halloween Blog Candy that I won from
Debbie @ Love Life's Little Pleasures Blog.
She packed the box with tons of goodies!!
Thanks again Debbie!

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks to all who voted! Little Froggie in the cauldron

~VOTE HERE~

he could win a remote Buzz Light Year.

Thank you to all who take the time to vote!

Well this costume in my mind looked so much better, but it turned out OK... thought I would share...
This is my son Aiden's costume. His sister is a pretty witch, so I thought I would try to do some sort of pair costume so this is what I came up with....
I cut the bottom of the cauldron out, attached fishing line to suspend the cauldron on his shoulders.
I cut the flames in 2 different colors and sizes in SCAL2 then inked them with red, orange, blue and green, glued them on.
Glued on some spider webbing stuff around the top of the cauldron to make it look like it is frothing over.
My mom made the little hoodie thing so his head was green (I wanted to find a green hoodie sweatshirt, but had no luck) I wish the t~shirt and the hoodie thingy matched, but whatcha gonna do....
glued on 2 big white pom poms to a foam visor & glued googlie eyes to that, a green t-shirt and whala...

No to bad right?
Hope you have a safe and fun Halloween...
watch out for all the little ghosts and goblins....
BOO!!!
TFL! xxx, Staci
