Go Batty! with Blinged Out Bats - SCS Baker's Dozen Swap Week #9

I'm a wee bit behind here in sending out my cards for the SCS Baker's Dozen swap as my exchange partner Dawn has caught up.  We're now even with 9 cards exchanged each. We're currently in Week #11 and I gotta get my Card #10 and #11 out! eek!

Speaking of Eek....look what I got in the mail this past weekend? These blinged out bats are certainly the star of the show, but how can anyone miss those darling little Halloween themed shaped eyelets on the bottom border?  Dawn Mercedes is a DT member over at the Eyelet Outlet, so these must have come from there.



She's certainly ushering me into the Fall Season, but it's hard to get a sense of seasons changing when living in Southern California.  We're in a multi year serious drought and were thrilled to have gotten a very small and light shower yesterday morning.

I'm also getting the hang of using www.picmonkey.com to edit my pictures since I really have to retire my old Sony Vaio pink laptop and it has my old copy of Photoshop installed on it.  I did check out the new version of  Photoshop and am not keen on spending $9.99 a month for this cloud version. My old software isn't compatible with Windows 10 on my current laptop and PC.  Oh Boo!!

I'm all about FREE and definitely prefer PicMonkey to even the free online version of Photoshop Express.  But I'll keep tinkering with both eventually.



Just happy this pic I'm sharing of Dawn's super cute card does her justice.  The previous one I shared wasn't crisp enough and it was due to my amateur photography and photo editing skills. There's only room for improvement as with all things!

Thanks Dawn!! Love my Go Batty card!!

Dawn outdid herself with this delightful batty creation! I love it!

Photography is one of my weakest skills! I wish I could get amazing photos like this, Ching! You certainly did Dawn's card proud!
