My Time to Craft #302 - Easel cards

Hello again sweet friends.

I'm back with another card for the newest

challenge at MY TIME TO CRAFT.

For the next two weeks we'd like to see your 

easel cards and creations.  I love to make easel

cards but don't do it very often for some reason.

They really are super easy and are a nice change of pace. 

Since this year seems to be going by so very fast, 

I'm getting a jump on my halloween cards - take a look:

I really love sentiment only cards lately!  This sentiment in

the moon is one of several awesome fall/halloween sentiments

in a stamp set called "Spook-tacular Sentiments" by 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  I used several die cuts - a circle, clouds,

and the fence.  Then I added those adorable "Scaredy Cat"  buttons.

The black cat has a lot of glitter on it which made it terribly

hard to photograph well.  There isn't anything wrong with

your eyes - trust me :o) and sorry about that. It almost makes 

you feel a bit dizzy as you look at it - arrghh!!

Do you love fun buttons but struggle with putting them on your creations?

I sure did but I found this fabulous tool called a button shank remover 

that easily snips off that pesky plastic loop on the back of  the 

buttons so you can adhere them easier on your creations.

Now that I have this I can get lots more cute buttons! 

(I got the buttons from the Kraftin' Kimmie Store). 

The papers are by Doodlebug Design - LOVE them!

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:

Stamping Sensations August challenge - Anything Goes w/a stamp & a die
