I am Jack's Glittery Mess.

Today I embarked on a journey to make a card. I thought about making Thank You cards in advance for the two baby showers I'm having. But, I needed Mumsy for help to bounce ideas off of for that venture.

After organizing Mumsy's craft blocks, with emphasis on the punch drawer I raided our clear stamp drawer and chose a few sets that I could brainstorm with. Two Halloween, one Christmas, and one with a really cute owl.

I decided on my favorite little Skull Girl. Then I went with the new "in" Halloween colors. Black, olive green, orange, and a bold but light purple. Earlier in the day I was crusing some crafty sites looking for some inspiration and I found a card layout I really liked at KWerner Design Blog. So I decided to use that for my card layout.

Once I assembled the layers, and cut my circles, I decided the front needed something more. So I drew some spiderwebs by hand using my Martha Stewart glue pen, and added some glitter. After the glitter was applied and my layers were glued together, I was happy with the final product.



This was a little spidy friend I came up with after the card was finished. I decided not to add him to this card because I didn't want TOO much going on. But he might make his way onto another card..
