Monday Bones

11/2/2022

Hm, I'm a little bit past the spooky day, but Make My Monday #186 would like to see some Halloween Colors this round!
I still have this old Paper Pumpkin stamp set from September of 2019 - Bone Appetit. The dancing skeletons in this one are too hilarious to let go! I haven't used them yet this year, so I figured a quick trio in spooky colors would be just the thing! Circle punches make everything OK!

They sure have some spooky cuties at this round's Cupcake Inspirations #555!
It didn't take me but a second to realize that those cupcakes were totally channeling our old Cookie Cutter Halloween set from 2016! So cute, lol. I decided to do a takeoff of a classic "inchies" layout, so I could get everyone on there! Our Stylish Shapes Dies were perfect! I used this distressed sentiment from the Boo-tiful Bags Paper Pumpkin - can you believe THAT'S from September 2014? I really had to dig today, lol!

Excellent! I'm thrilled to join in for Shopping Our Stash #481's "frightfully delightful" challenge, lol - BOO!
As soon as I saw them call out skeletons (among other creepies, lol) I KNEW I had to pull my old Mr. Funny Bones from 2016 - I still love this guy! He's the best build-o-bones set we have, complete with several bone-y sentiments, lol. I did a basic upright skeleton today in Black, with Pumpkin Pie accessories - he's headed out for some fun! Don't get your humerus bent out of shape, now, lol.

We're closing out October with a fill in the blank challenge at As You See It #286 - "The spookiest thing on Halloween is always..."
In my neighborhood, the spookiest thing on Halloween is the Haunted House some of our neighbors put together every year! They go all out, and it starts at the curb and goes all through the house to the back yard! Always so much fun - they must also have the spookiest storage unit ever, lol. Anyway, today's card celebrates their all-new scary fencing and gravestones in the front yard - I can't wait to see what's inside!
I'm looking forward to YOUR scary projects, too - meet you at the challenge!

They have some super cute Halloween cookies to inspire us over at this month's If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #173!
All these characters together reminded me of our spooky set from 2019, Spooktacular Bash. I'll be honest - my favorite thing about this set was the awesome Ornate Frames Dies, lol - I still use these cuties! I decided to build a portrait gallery of friends together - and the perfect sentiment to go with, lol. I only added a touch of color - couldn't resist, with these fun cookies!

I'm going for the triple whammy this week! We want to see your Halloween projects at SU Only #312, we have a convenient "Anything Goes" round going at Retro Rubber #193, and I get to use our sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #577 to pull it all together!
I'm actually super excited that I thought of a great retired set for all these challenges, and that I haven't used in forever - Making Spirits Bright from 2014! I'm not totally sure that I've EVER used the gory Halloween martini in this one before, maybe only once? The image and the sentiment are actually on a single stamp, so I used some strategic masking to break it up for the sketch. I'm so tickled with the result!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for all these challenges this round - so many ways to go! Meet you there!

I hope you like my spooky colors this round at As You See It #285!
I decided to go back to 2018's Sweet Home bundle to pull this one off! I had a good time building my haunted home in all our colors, lol. I was even able to use one of our tiny Matte Dots for the door knob! The Starry Sky bats almost broke me, but I pushed through it, lol. All oldies here, in new colors! So fun!
I can't wait to see what YOU come up with for these crazy colors - meet you there!

Start your engines! It's time for another speed challenge at this week's As You See It #283, and we're making it Fall with a pumpkin theme!
Since I don't seem to have any CURRENT pumpkins (how did that happen??) I took a look through the retired sets. I have lots of great choices, but then I thought about this row of leering pumpkin heads and couldn't resist. The More the Merrier is from 2009, among my oldest stamp sets! This seemed simple enough that I could get it together and still have time to color, so that's what I did. I assembled all my toys and started the clock! Even with stamp-a-ma-jigging, I came in at a good time - 8 minutes and 23 seconds - woo! Maybe I should have fussy cut something, lol...
I can't wait to see YOUR speedy projects - meet you there!

OK, I am LOVING all the googly eyes on Cupcake Inspiration #530's inspiration cupcakes, lol. You can never have too many!
After turning this place upside down hunting for my little monster set (and they are STILL awol, sigh) I finally pulled out my old Jar of Haunts set. For whatever reason, I'm all about the eyeballs today, lol, and there's this perfect image in the jar contents choices. A little spookier than these fun cupcakes, lol, but oh well. I forgot how fun all our jar pieces are - eek! Quick and fun!

It's code word "spooky" at this week's Addicted to CAS #208! Let's boo this!
I went looking through my retired sets for this - I haven't gotten too much for Halloween this year for whatever reason. I was quickly drawn in by these fun bats from Spooky Sweets, and there was even a sentiment that I could doctor a little to get the actual word "spooky!" Sold! I kept it super simple: a stamped and stamped-off foggy background in Gray Granite, with bold black bats and sentiment. I couldn't resist a few iridescent pearls to finish things off, and I even snuck in the crescent moon on the envelope! Love it!
