Halloween

Good afternoon. Window cleaning progress to report: 7 windows cleaned today. We have tilt in windows, and I always manage to get one 'out of the track', and we have to struggle to get it back in the track so it can be closed. One year we managed to bend a frame, had to call a repair guy to fix the frame, so now DH helps me hold the windows in a stable position. Today we managed to get one so that the locks won't work now! Decided then it was time to call it a day. 7 down, 13 more to go- on the main floor!

Here's a card I did practicing the Iris fold I learned last Saturday. It's not great, but at least I was able to follow the pattern.

- Various yellow DP and card stock. If DP is used, the 'back area' is not so thick. This will have to be a hand delivered card. I even stacked some books on the card front to flatten it a bit. It's still too thick for a regular envelope. The witch was die cut from the THoltz Witch die, which also has a bat.

- Sentiment is one of the 'on the edge' dies, not sure if it was DieNamics or Memory Box, but I can verify this if someone wants to know for sure.

- Cut a card front from Coordinations texture paper, used a S/Binder circle die to make the opening to cover the iris fold. Then adhered the witch. Entire piece was then adhered to a cardbase.

For anyone who is interested in trying the Iris folding technique, there are patterns available..just google Iris fold and you'll find lots of free ones to print out.

Thanks for visiting. Hope to see you again tomorrow if I can manage it. Ya'll have a wonderful evening, and now I'm off for a rest. You will see me doing a Happy Dance when these chores are finished! (I can hear my Mama saying now "If - in a hundred years - it won't make a difference, why are you fretting over it?", but I still like a half-way clean house!) Hugs
