Halloween Hi

9/30/2020

Woo hoo! Time for another "anything goes" challenge over at Retro Rubber #144!
Today, I finally settled on 2009's The More the Merrier. I almost always go for the cute snow-dudes in this one, or the fancy cupcakes, but these cute jack o' lanterns leapt out at me this time! Just started watching my seasonal round of Halloween shows yesterday on Food Network, and I kind of have pumpkin on the brain, now! I felt like fussy cutting, too, so I colored them all in, did the deed, and floated them all over a layer of Basic Black - they're jumping off the card! Such a fun Halloween warm-up, ahh, it's almost spooky time!

OK, super nifty - check out that adorable pumpkin diorama at this week's Fusion Card Challenge! I might have to make one of these, lol...
I went with a Halloween scene to go with that awesome diorama, and then followed the sketch to set it up. These little witches' brew ingredients are my fave image from our Spooktacular Bash set, and I think this is my fave sentiment, too, lol. I had some fun coloring in my jars, and I cut a fancy Ornate Frame to help set off the words - simple, cute AND spooky - perfect!

Yay! Just in time for the big day, The Male Room #122 has a Halloween theme for us!
I couldn't resist pulling out these little dancing skeletons from our last Paper Pumpkin kit, Bone Appetit. I love seeing them dancing around! I went for a rainbow layout here, and added a nice big two-tone Halloween greeting from Spooktacular Bash. This one was fun and super quick to put together - and still good for a giggle!

Lol, you can't go wrong with a Fall-Halloween challenge at this week's In{k}spire Me #403!
I have one last Halloween trick to play - I haven't yet played with my Wicked die - I didn't get the stamp set, but I knew I had to have that die! I layered tow colors together, offset a little, Gorgeous Grape over Smoky Slate, and did the spider, too, then used my Wish For Everything to fill in the sentiment a little - too cute! I threw on a few Monster Bash Enamel Shapes, too, for a little extra spook, lol.

We have a fun inspiration pic and a cute sketch this week at Fusion - "Coffee!"
I couldn't resist doing another Halloween card this week - I've been eyeing my retired Merry Cafe set all week, lol. Must be all the Pumpkin Spice Latte in the air these days, I guess, lol. Anyway, I did a little update by using this year's Monster Bash DSP, and a few of our Monster Bash Enamel Shapes - love it! I even snuck in a tiny little skull from the Monster Bash stamp set for the stopper! Yum! OK, time to go huff my new Pumpkin Vanilla candle from Trader Joe's - gotta get my fix somehow!

I'm loving our banded sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #423!
I decided this was a perfect layout for showing off the OTHER Halloween set I got this year (that makes TWO - wowza!) Boo to You. I'll get right to the point - this set was all about the multicolor googly eyes that go with it, lol - I pretty much instantly had to have them! I think it's been a few years since I've even gotten a Halloween set, let alone a suite and some extras - the siren call of the boo just did me in!
So, what will YOU create?? I can't wait to see your projects over at the challenge!

So pretty - As You See It #207 has a lovely split-panel sketch for us this week!
I decided to go all spook-tacular on this one - I actually got a few Halloween things from the Holiday Catty, which I only do every few years - check out this awesome DSP! It's like a murder mystery board, lol. I whipped up some quick potions, and cut out my details with the beautiful Ornate Frames dies - good times! I love the muted colors, too - just right for sophisticated yet spooky, lol. Keep your eyes peeled!

We have a super sweet sketch for you this week at Fab Friday #157 - it's not too late for one more Valentine!
For myself, though, it turns out it's all about the frogs, lol. ESPECIALLY with our awesome upcoming coordinating products release, that includes a set of framelits JUST for this set, called Hop Around, AND a wonderful all-inclusive set that has several new sentiments to use with ALL our Sale-A-Bration sets! I'm in heaven! With no fussy cutting to deal with, I did a full knot of froggies (yes, they're called a "knot," lol!) and also some little bugs to send them leaping after! I stamped the second half "when I have a friend as amazing as you" on the inside.
I can't wait to check out YOUR creations - see you at the challenge!

Still time to get one last Halloween card in with this week's Library Challenge #18 - Dracula!
I knew I wanted to stick with the vampire theme for this one, BUT, the only vampire I have is this little cutie from Cookie Cutter Halloween - so be it! I stuck with the general color scheme and layout of the cover presented - I'm really pleased with how that came out! I had to cobble together a lot of bits and bobs to get the final card, but I still love it - don't get bit!

Well, this is kinda a soft "boo," lol. Fusion has a pastel Halloween challenge going this week - wild!
I really wanted to do a pile of funny pumpkins for this sketch, and I ended up going with 2017's Pick a Pumpkin set - it came with super cute detailed thinlits, too - alas, it was with us too briefly, lol. I combined it with a few details from our current Spooky Sweets - I love that misty background stamp, and I have been using that "Spooky Sweets" sentiment EVERYWHERE! These are like salt water taffy pumpkins - cute!
