Midnight Madness MMSC29

Thank you friends for stopping by here and leaving a comment last week, while I was away.
:) My daughter was able to see her Grandma and Great-Grandpa. I got a chance to meet with my old High School friends and go dancing with my Sister. It was a special get together time, really made me miss living close to family.

A big round of applause for the recipient of Masterpiece Award- Ms.Plum ! and the Remarkables award winners- Kerri Michaud and Lorelie Kim! Beautiful cards, Ladies!

Thank you for the sponsors Your Next Stamp for this week and Michelle's Scrapbooking for this month! We couldn't make the challenge awesome without such wonderful sponsors and their donations :)

And I have some wonderful news! The stamps that I have been helping to produce are finally here! It's produced by D'Amore Allure - Vintage Vanities Line and available only at McMahonFive Designs. I used "Let the Trumpets Sound" Please stop by and take a look at the rest of the stamps!




Using Distress inks to give the aged look, I think this Angel came out very vintage looking :)

Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving, good times with family and friends! hugs, ~Jeni

The Jellyfish and sentiment stamp is from HighHopes stamps. And for the BasicGrey Challenge#6, I used Lime rickey papers. The#6 challenge calls for Blue ,Red, Green. Basicgrey papers are awesome!

I used a lot of sponging techniques I learned from attending Kim Teasdale's class at MyCreativeClass Room. She's very talented and is currently teaching 2 classes. See what classes are still open :)

In case I don't get to another post before Halloween... this is what's going on with me:

This weekend we'll be going to 2 halloween parties, one for our neighborhood block ( we also have a Progressive Dinner for christmas coming up, neighbors are planning) quite an active block with 10 kids around the same age). This Sat we'll be trunk or treating where the kids get together at the church and trick or treat from the car trunks ( fabulously decorated , lit up with lights and smoke and some adventurous soul hiding in a homemade coffin...) And there's a chili cookout before the treating starts. I have signed up to make chili, and I'll be decorating my trunk too. Have a happy and safe Halloween Everyone! and let me know what's going on with you by posting it on Priscilla's page I will go there to read so you don't have to write it twice :p

Thanks for stopping by, Hugs ~Jeni
