I'm enjoying a beatiful fall weekend. Beautiful temps and colors. My kids all had fun stuff going on this weekend but unfortunately, we had my daughter into Urgent care where she was diagnosed with strep throat and mono! Ugh! Her doctor said she was only the 10th patient in her 26 years of practice that had both at the same time. So she's been feeling lousy but the antibiotics seem to be kicking in so her throat is finally feeling a little better. There's nothing you can do for mono. You just need plenty of rest which is tough to do for a teenager. I"m not sure how she got so run down so early in the school year but we're going to try to concentrate on getting her better and avoiding getting to this point in the future. No sign of the rest of us getting sick. If anyone is going to get it, it should be me because i'm handling all of her dishes and food but I'm luckily pretty resistant to this kind of stuff.
Now for some fun stuff! We made this card in my stamp club last week. The designer paper is embossed with the spider web embossing folder and then distressed with the sanding block so the web stands out more. Then you coat the whole thing with hairspray. While it's wet you douse it with dazzling diamongs glitter. Shake off the excess and then spray the whole thing with hair spray again. Let this dry before adhering it to cardstock. I recommend using mono multi adhesive to adhere it to your cardstock.
The ribbon is the wide basic black ribbon cut in half. You want the edges to fray. It adds to the shabby chic look. The pumpkins are colored in with markers and some dazzling details added for more sparkle.

I have more projects to show you in the next coming week. I haven't forgotten about sharing my punch art chicken. I just need to get it photographed so you can see how it is made.
Thanks for stopping by!
