Hi! How's your week going? Mine is going great...but fast! The DH and I spent a lovely and rainy day in Napa on Monday and then yesterday we did some more driving around and photo spotting. Today we've been at home taking care of business and phone calls, etc. Generally taking care of things. Tomorrow I have lunch plans with a gal pal and before you know it...poof...the week will be over. It's been a nice break from the office and lots of sleeping in. Hope you have been having a good week!
Today's card is a CAS Halloween card with a cool Bat cutout made from a EK Success punch. This idea just popped into my head because I kept thinking...what am I going to do with that giant bat punch?? haha.
I punched a bat out of some crisp, black paper and then layered that piece over some orange and white gingham. I popped that piece up over some orange paper with foam tape.
The Happy Halloween sentiment is from Amuse Stamps...don't you love the cheery mix of fonts? I had to add a couple of blings...even though it is CAS!
I took a ton of pictures in Napa on Monday but haven't had the chance to decide which ones to post, and haven't had the time to watermark all of them. I really wanted to share just a few today, though. I hope you enjoy the scenes!
Thank you so much for coming by today to see what I'm up to! Have a wonderful day today!
Your gingham bat is too cute!!
Your photos are fabulous! Makes me miss my trips through the vineyards! My dd has moved closer to home, so I'm not complaining ;-) they have the grandkids!!
