a mojo kickstart---

I saw a very cute card of the day on the OWH facebook page while I was in Georgia shooting my softball boys last week. A Hero commented on that card & requested more of them for him & his friends in their next box. The mojo was sparked-- except I was on the other side of the country from my stamps & paper & craft stuff...

this is what happened when I finally made it home... It is a complete CASE of the original posted. I never thought to use this stamp except for Valentine's Day cards. ;)

Then I started looking around for the fall seasonal stuff, since it's time to start shifting gears for OWH and start making fall & winter cards.

A cute fall card!

I have WAY to much Halloween stuff. WAY TO MUCH! What was I thinking? Even for scrapping, really. 1 two-page layout at the most per year for Halloween. Yikes, I have a whole folder full of it! Halloween is not a big card writing holiday, so I'm trying to find ways to turn some of it into Hall-NO-ween cards that can be used after the holiday.

I think Frank pretty much says Halloween, but at least with a different sentiment it can help fill out those fall boxes...
