Card #70 for 2025

Dear blog readers, Thank you kindly for all the well

wishes and prayers.  I have a long road a head of me,

many upcoming procedures, and then surgery to re-connect 

me together, God willing.  Life sure can take unexpected 

turns, but so grateful to be alive and with my family.  

I will enter this card in the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamps sets I used are:

Stampin Up:

Spooky Halloween

Paradise Palms

Oceanfront 

Color & contour 

You'd all think I'm a little nutty in the head, but while

I'm making spooky Halloween cards, my mind is drifting 

to is this something the Lord wants me to make?  I always 

think if it's not evil or bad it should be ok.  I hope I'm making 

the right call on this.  I always celebrated Halloween in a nice

way with my kiddos when they were little.   When I was growing up we use 

to have huge Halloween parties, with costumes and bobbing for apples

and all sorts of games.  As long as the demonic is not celebrated I think it's safe.  

anyways while making these past few Halloween  cards

 I'm blasting Christmas music on my lap top.  wink. 

This sketch was fun because I was determined to make at least two more 

Halloween cards for the season before I start Thanksgiving cards.  

I do wish the moon was a bit more prevalent, I stamped it twice, and it just 

wouldn't take to the already inked night sky.  The DSP really pulls the water 

color out.  I used two different inks to get the water that color.  Balmy blue, 

and pool party.   

Below is a picture of Patriot pup, he is getting to be quite a little pal,

still hyper and naughty but a little less, I can't walk him, I can barely 

walk myself presently with all that's going on ..Haha  But Lord willing 

we both will get there.  He loves his watermelon, and we love that 

the squeaker is finally out of it.

The verse I chose for this card is:

Psalm 19:8 KJV

The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: 

the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
