Happy Friday Everyone!!!
I can't tell you how excited I am that the weekend is just around the corner. Yesterday was wicked crazy. 
Did I mention I worked yesterday? Yah, never work on your birthday girls! Soooo not fun!
Thank you to everyone for your birthday wishes. They really made my day extra special!
**Update on Kitty Bones** - She is doing FANTASTIC! Her last blood work up showed that her platelet count is back to normal and she is eating on her own. Vet is convinced it was a virus of some sort and that she should be fine now. She has been acting like her ol self again and we couldn't be happier. 
Thank you to everyone that sent their well wishes and good thoughts. They REALLY helped!
I'm also excited to be able to share a card with you today too! I just love this image from Christine's recent Autumn SugarPlums release. This is Witch Emma. Isn't she just too cute to spook? 
The card came together pretty quickly. I find that happens when 1) I have an image already colored and ready to go, 2) a great sketch and 3) a fabulous ensemble of paper. Now don't get me wrong I need help with this stuff!
As soon as I receive my new stamps from Christine 
<----- (that's me gettin' my happy mail), I trim up the new images, stamp 'em and get a coloring. I think I've mentioned before that this is always a good thing to do when the 'ol mojo isn't cooperating.
For a sketch, I turned to this one from Jen de Muro. In case you didn't know, Jen posts some AWESOME sketches every Saturday. You should check them out if you addicted to sketches like I am!
And lastly for my paper choice, I turned to my newest Key Ingredients kit from Taylored Expressions. Included in my card is the Prism paper and Basic Grey patterned paper from the new Eerie collection. I just LOVE this paper. It's fantastic!
I created the moon behind Emma using some double sided adhesive paper I have and sprinkling it with Dazzling Diamonds from SU! And I just couldn't resist using one of the always perfect sentiments from AmyR's Autumn Sentiments set. I just love Amy's sentiments set. I find myself turning to them all the time.
Well gals I hope you liked today's card. There's more fun from this set over on the All That Scraps blog. Be sure to head on over there to check them out.
I also wanted to remind everyone that sneak peeks for the October release is starting next week. So be sure to tune in to get a peek at some more goodies!
Hugs,
great card tracy! As always, I love to see your card creations and all of your special little touches! Hope you had a great b-day!
talk to you soon..michele

I'm so glad to hear that Kitty Bones is doing well. I was getting worried there for a while when we hadn't heard anything. I'm so happy that she's doing fantastic!!
This is so adorable Tracy!! I love that image, she looks so cute in her Halloween attire. You colored & trimmed her so perfectly too! You do so well at combining the different papers & the huge glittered moon in the background is too cool!
