While the race has been in a rain delay all afternoon, I made a couple cards. This one is for the Sweet Stop Sketch SSS126. This week there's a spin on the sketch and it's "starstruck." There's a lot of room for interpretation, and although I didn't actually use any stars on my card, this little chickie dressed up in disguise for Halloween is a star in my eyes :) (cough cough!) I know - that's really a stretch, but I needed to make some Halloween cards for the grands :) I thought that big white circle looked too white against all the colors of the background, so I drew in tiny spiders all around the edge. The chick and her glasses were all colored with fluorescent Copics and I dotted the eyes with a white sharpie pen. The dots are stickers, and image and sentiment are from SU! Twick or Tweet.
This card is for the Stars & Stamps sketch challenge 87. I really burned myself out making so many challenge cards last week, so I haven't been keeping up with the daily challenges over there for about a week, but I always try to get the weekly sketch done. This one was easy peasy, so I played along and made a few cards with this design. I just used 2 different embossing folders, and 2 shades of teal, along with a matching sentiment and a brad. OK, it's time to get dinner going, so I may be watching the race at midnight if they don't soon postpone it! LOL Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening!

Sometimes a girl just needs a little break - yours TRULY suited you - THIS is SO tweet! {hehe} I love a card that you can "hear" and this is one of those, for certain! Hope the race gets back in gear for you, lovely friend! xoxo!
GREAT!
Carol, I love those spiders you drew! Way cute and creative.
The sentiment on the second card just says it all!
Wonderful cards.

I understand what you mean about being burned out by too many challenges! I think it's good to take a break and recharge. I adore that Halloween card - your choices of elements really coordinate well. Your sketch card is simply lovely. :) Thanks for sharing.
Love your sketch card! Great job using great colors and textures! TFS!!!
Two great cards! Love the textures and colors on both.
What a sweet Halloween card. Love that little chick. Not surprised she's a star in your eyes. :o) Thank you for playing along with us at The Sweet Stop.
I've been a little burned out myself lately, maybe it's something in the air.....I can't believe you drew all those tiny spiders so meticulously! Nice job! And your sketch card is awesome, as always.
Carol both of your cards a great. Terrific drawing job with the spiders. I love those florescent colors. Your OWH card is beautiful. Those different shades of teal are just beautiful and I love the sentiment.

Now, that's a great sketch and looks easy enough. I really love those colors...they look snowy to me.
Oops..I missed your chickie Halloween card. It is so fun and cute. You drew those spiders...well, I think that is awesome.
Great cards!! I really like the spiders you drew to help with the white circle, they look so good! I also really like the embossing on your "Happy Freezin' Season" card and the colors are so crisp and pretty. Love them both!!
