FCD Blog HOP: Autumn Creations using Mesh!

Remember my last post, I mentioned the AWESOME companies that donated to our Austin Shoebox Swap? Well one such company was one you all know I love - FireCracker Designs by Pamela! Oh how I love sweet Pamela!! You know, I don't know if I ever fully told you what I'm up to with FCD these days - I think I only linked to the announcement on Pam's blog. I am no longer on her design team, it was only a one year gig. But she invited me to stay on as part of her "Creative Council" - I'm officially in charge of her guest designer schedule (have you checked out the fabulous Karen this month??), I share FCD card ideas on Facebook & Twitter that I find on SCS or various blogs (look for FCDStamps on Twitter!!), and I occasionally spew ideas at her for new stamp sets (which she sometimes listens to and sometimes ignores, LOL!). There are no stamping "obligations" on this gig, because as you've noticed my stamping time is limited these days. But I'm welcome to join her blog hops if I choose to - and of course I choose to!! So without further ado... LET ME GET TO WHAT YOU CAME HERE FOR!!!

This month our theme is "Autumn Creations using Mesh!" - it was probably meant to be leafy autumny creations, but to me, autumn means HALLOWEEN! So I pulled out my sweet Witchy Kitty (which is actually called Pawsitively Frightful) and went to work. I used my purple mesh as just a background - and added some googlie eyes, like they are peeking out from behind the mesh! What do you think? Do you like it? I really think this card is missing SOMETHING, or something isn't quite right. It's the first thing I've created in ~3 weeks, so it was a struggle. I'd really love to hear what you think I should add or change. Leave me a comment, and I will actually give out MY OWN BLOG CANDY to the person with my favorite suggestion. I have a set of Pamela's sweet photopolymer Shore Birds for the winner!

But I'm not the only one with blog candy - there is also a "mystery hostess" somewhere along our hop, so be sure to travel around to the blogs and leave some love, and maybe you will win Pamela's fabulous goodies!! As always, it's a circular hop, so you'll end up right back here, if this is where you started. AND - Pamela is offering a DISCOUNT CODE during this hop - enter hopidays at checkout for 15% off your order! This discount ends when the hop ends - Monday at 8pm EST.

And as if all of that wasn't exciting enough - Pam also has her NEW HOLIDAY RELEASE up on the website. OMG is it ADORABLE!!! You've got to go and look at these new stamps!!

Ok, enough jibber jabber, please go to PAMELA'S blog and continue hopping!! Thanks for stopping by today!!
