In honor of Halloween today, I decided to show you three ways that I have used the Too Cute to Spook set with the Sleepy Hollow Paper to create some fun, fun, fun cards.

\

here I sponged the Sleepy Hollow Paper with Onyx ink and embossed the cat with black embossing powder. Used my die cut bats and cloud (sponged with slate ink) and punched a circle for the moon.

Here I did much of the same but used more bats and added some baker's twine.

Here I did much of the same above just used different cardstock and a different layout.

Challenges Entered:

Crafty Catz - Halloween

Fashionista Friday - Spooky Fall

Glitter Geeks - Ghosts, Ghouls & Spooks

I love this saying and tree from Woodland Friends.

I stamped it on French Roast and Sage and cut out the two peieces to make the tree.  I popped it along with a cloud that I die cut. 

I added some sky ink by sponging it on the background.  Added a few pearls to the lower right hand corner.

I recently made about 25 of these cards for a great swap that I was in hosted by Rita Holmes ... it was wonderful!

Challenges Entered:

Little Miss Muffet - Clouds

I've got buttons and when you order "Not Your Grandma's Bag of Buttons" you too can have buttons ... and LOTS of them.  You get close to 250 buttons of the same color for $5.95!!!  That is a GREAT deal!

So I did not feel guilty at all when I put 12 buttons on this card!  I used the flower from Nordic Noel and then added the buttercup buttons and added a sentiment from Essential Sentiments.

Challenges Entered:

Amuse Challenge Blog - Use a Button

I love using stamps to create my background and to add elements to my cards.

For this card I used the The Perfect Blend stamp set as my main focus.  I also used the Ovalicious set with the oval as my table that the coffee cup is on.  I used the French Roast ink for the beans and the images .. fitting huh????

I colored the cup with my copics an pop dotted the circle and the sentiment.

Entering in the following challenges:

Secret Crafter - white plus another color

I was ecstatic when I got a white envelope in the mail today!

It's the new Scrap & Stamp Arts Holiday Edition!

And I am in there with not 1, not 2, but 3 Holiday tags!!!!!

I think these are sooooo cute!

The only sad part ... these are some of my most FAVORITE stamps from TAC and now they are no longer available.  I had submitted these to the magazine back in early June...  Who would have known???

Ok ... back to celebrating that I was published!!!!

This was another card that we made at my recent open house.

It uses the branch from Beautiful Botanicals 2 and is all done in grass ink and cardstock.

The sentiment is from That's the Ticket and I added bling "dew drops".
