Happy Monday, peeps! Hope you had a good weekend! We had a gorgous warm day on Saturday, then cool and rainy on Sunday! From one end of the spectrum to the other! I have one last Halloween card for you, since I hadn't used one of my favorite images this year, and the JUGS challenge of CAS using just the center of your card, as well as the CAS on Sunday challenge to use an animal, reinforced my idea!
So here we go:
I had a piece of Crumb Cake that was a wee bit smaller than a standard-sized card, so I used that and stenciled a "moon" of Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze. I stamped my little vintage cat on a broom in Versafine Black and added an old Crafty Secrets sentiment:
I also embossed the outer edges wtith the Stitched with Whimsy dies....not sure if I should have done it or let it alone...but it is what it is! I added a Rubbernecker sentiment on the inside:
This was quick and easy and still just one layer! Woohoo! Thanks for popping in today! And how about a couple more vintage Halloween postcards?
This one is from my great-uncle Hutch to his brother Bob...apparently he had a cold! It strikes me funny that first he asked how his cold was, then he hoped everyone was well, LOL! It's dated October 30, 1913!
This is one of my favorites, with those big pumpkin and moon faces! I think the little boy's hair is standing straight up on end!
This is to my great-uncle Bruce from his Uncle John. He tells Bruce he hopes he has all his pumpkins in by this time! I remember Uncle Bruce and Uncle Bob, but Uncle Hutch and Uncle John were gone by the time I was born! It's fun to have these remembrances though!
