Stamps: Penny Black (The Horror Team; Circular Design); Lawn Fawn (Heebie Jeebies - sentiment
Other: Hemp; Glossy Accents; Black embossing powder; Black enamel accent; dimensional tape
I wish I could take better photos, I really need to take a photography course!
I stamped the purple cardstock with the Circular Design and embossed it with black embossing powder (love the stark black against the purple). And then, a lot of fussy cutting! The hats, the pumpkin, the balloon and one hand on each critter is popped up with dimensional tape. In retrospect, I should maybe not have pieced the hats, but once it was done there was no turning back.
I hand made the sentiment tab using a corner chomper.
They are just the cutest little guys! I think this one is going in a box for my daughter.
I have started a little box where every now and then, whilst I am in my craft room and perhaps just sitting and thinking about the ones I love, I just make a little card for my daughter with the bits and pieces lying around on my table and I just write her a note about whatever is on my mind. It's for her, later, when life is different, when she has all grown up or when I am no longer around, just little love notes, so she knows that even when she was not here, or when she was asleep, I was thinking of her.
Do any of you do something similar perhaps?
Sending you all lots of love and wishing you a wonderful day! And hugs to my new followers, you make me happy.
(I'll enter this into this week's Wee Memories challenge, "Free For All").

Hi Brenda, fabulous card I love those cute images. What a lovely thing you are doing for your daughter a memory box for the future, great idea, she will be thrilled when she is old enough to appreciate it.
Congratulations on being featured on Jills blog. I look forward to seeing the cards this week.,
I have a similar diary for my two boys that they can read (hopefully many, many years from now) when I'm not around anymore. I love the idea of cards though, Bren. What a special gift for her!
Love this darling card! Adorable images, and that background is perfect for Halloween - love the little boo too! :)
Just discovered you through Inspired by. Love your creations. Then found you are from Texas-icing on the cake!!!
This is so fun & cute, Brenda! All the fussy-cutting paid off; wonderful details. And I love your idea of making little cards for your daughter. I used to keep a journal for mine but that fell to the way side at some point.
And congrats on your feature at Inspired By! I can't wait to see all your fabulous cards this week!
This is precious, B! And the thought behind is even more so. Love this idea for Natasha :) We should all adopt something similar!
These are adorable! I'll have to experiment more with doing my own background paper; yours looks terrific. What a lucky daughter you have!
Super cute Brenda! And I love what you do for your daughter! Great idea. I have a journal that I try to write in but honestly... I stink at it. I just wrote in it last night for the first time in months! I have missed so many stories and things I wanted to remember forever! It makes me sad yet... I am not getting any better at keeping up with it!
what a super cute card Brenda. and what a neat idea for your daughter. That will be something so special for her.
Fun card and love the black stamping on the purple. Very striking!
Not too sure if I should be proud or not that I do not miss someone so much now! If you asked me many years ago, yes, I had to cry because of homesick!!
