October's "Boo" card


                   If you would like complete instructions on how to make this card, email me at thecountrycropper@gmail.com.  All papers were cut using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, scalloped punch and round punch, all from Close to my Heart.

October 8th Make and Take

Donna and Connie were working hard on finishing their "Boo" Halloween card.  Here they are sponging the edges of the inside paper to make it look a little spookier!

12 hour crop at Connie's!

I traveled to Connie's today and enjoyed a 12 hour crop with friends and family.  Well, they enjoyed the crop, I enjoyed teaching new techniques, demonstrating how to use the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge from Close to my Heart, and explaining when and how to use several of the tools and supplies shown in the Autumn/Winter Idea book.  We made a very cute "Boo" Halloween card, which I will post a picture of later today.  There was a lot of great artwork today!  There will not be a crop in November, but we will plan on resuming again in December, weather permitting!
If you do not have a new Autumn/Winter Idea book, you can check it out on-line at www.lauriesmith.myctmh.com.  The October Stamp of the Month is cute, cute, cute!  Don't miss out on getting this one!  You only have until October 31 to order, so don't wait too long!
