This is my card for this weeks Thursday challenge. It's Friday....darn it! This is my story!
1. I made two discoveries while making this card. I am sure my two discoveries have already been discovered by others but just like it being Friday, today, I am usually behind.
2. My first discovery was how cool this sort of silky twisted cord stuff frays. I loved how it is curly and frayed. My first thought was using it as a tail on a cutsey little horse...Here I go again, making cards with animal butts!
3. The second thing was the buttons. I have size graduated white buttons too....Be a cute snowman.
4. I know, both ideas have definately been done but it provided me just a tinge of excitement this morning!
5. I have not sent out Halloween cards in years but for some reason I still buy Halloween embellishments. It must be that *collecting* habit of mine! Bet you all can relate!

Love your card, great use of your collectibles!! You're so funny! I'm feeling better now that you were late posting too! LOL! I'm a collector too...just keep buying more and it sits in drawers, on shelves etc...collecting dust, but isn't that why we love this site so much, because it helps us add to our collections?

Very cute card, Cindy! I bet this would make some cackling old witch really happy, and I'm not speaking of myself either! I think the white buttons for a snow man would be a worthwhile revelation for all the time you spent on this spooky card! Very fun!!
