What a perfect little ghost @bluebird ! It is adorable.

I received from @megwell for my trash to treasure theme, and it is perfect!!! Even the ATC chipboard is recycled, and the envelope it was sent in was a re-used page from a calendar! I love re-used, recycled craft items so much! Thank you @megwell !!! I look forward to swapping with you more.

@curiousfae This Frankenstein is AMAZING! You really nailed it. I am so jealous. Incredible linework and interpretation.

@megwell your trash to treasure really hit the mark. It’s such a fun card with so many interesting textures.

@gozer — I’m so glad you loved it! I loved how it turned out too. :slight_smile: Your Frankenstein card is wonderful!

@curiousfae — thanks! :slight_smile: I enjoyed making the kitty in the pumpkin patch. :jack_o_lantern: :black_cat: Your mushroom and Frankenstein cards are lovely!

@TruGritty — Thanks! :slight_smile: It’s based off of one of Gozer’s pins. There is a black and white version that I used as reference to make this pink version. :slight_smile:

I recd two cards today!

From @TruGritty
She combined my themes of ‘haunted’ and ‘pies’ and came up with a funny and imaginative ‘haunted pie’!


What a fun and clever combo! The colors are very rich and I love the texture of the wallpaper. The little ‘boo’ makes me giggle.

And from @LindyBlues for my movie monsters theme
It’s Spike from Gremlins!


Nice job. Great illustration. Instantly recognizable. You nailed it!

Thanks you guys! Fun additions to my collection.

I received this great card from @TruGritty for my book recommendation theme!

I’ve only read the Mistborn books by Brandon Sanderson, so I added Tress of the Emerald Sea to my to-read list! Thank you so much! :smiley:

I received from @Mountains_and_Clouds for my black and neon theme!

The neon watercolors are apparently UV reactive; I’ll report back if I get an opportunity to put it under a blacklight, but until then the neons are supercool on their own.

@TruGritty That mouse is great! And I really love the font of your stamp set. Which one is that? I don’t know the book but it looks interesting.

@Mountains_and_Clouds cool neon! It reminds me of a stained glass window. And those are watercolors? I HAVE to check out that set.

I loved Tress of the Emerald Sea. Very whimsical feeling.

Cute ATC.

Yes!! I was surprised at how bold they are!
I kind of went on a find-as-many-neon-things-as-possible binge… I think these were the ones I bought from a local watercolor maker (they’re just called “Aloha Watercolors”). I believe Schmincke also made a very limited set, and there are also some by Paul Rubens. I haven’t been able to find the MozArt brand ones lately either…

I received from @thanate for my sunflower theme.

I like that it’s a close up and that the seeds near the top look like stars :star: :sunflower: :star:

Thank you!


I love the text in the background of the bird, @pioneer9!

that chicken is so cute, @TruGritty

@jellybean, I had never heard of a potoo bird; I like your cards! I epsecially like the texture in the background.

That neon bird is so cook, @Mountains_and_Clouds; I love the vibrant colours.

Look at the litle mousie, @TruGritty; it’s so cute in the cup :tea: :mouse2: :tea:


I’m so glad you like the gremlin, @curiousfae! I had so much fun making this one :blush:

Thank you! I have no idea what font it is. I’m pretty sure I got it from the dollar section at Target 15 years ago :rofl:
