Bone Appetit

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!

Wicked Halloween

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!

Leaping For Joy

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!

Cute Spook

Check out the lovely harvest inspiration Hand Stamped Sentiments #300 has for us this week - beautiful! This seems like a great time to sneak in the Sisterhood of Crafters "cute spook" theme, too!
My main inspiration from the pic was that spilled bucket of Halloween candy - yum! After that, I pretty much focused on the "cute spook," and pulled out my Cookie Cutter Halloween for the cute little scaredy-mummy, lol. This little guy is my fave character from this set! I decided to give him a wrapper background - I cut strips of white tissue paper, spritzed them a little with Crumb Cake ink to dirty them up a little, then wrapped away! I added his little treat bag, and we're all set!

Oo, check out this spooky book cover at this week's Library Challenge #17! The Woman in the Window! Fun!
So you know I totally had to go and pull out my retired Happy Scenes bundle - I mean, it's a WINDOW, lol. Then, when I backed the window with Crushed Curry, I knew it could be a Halloween card, too - spooky! See what I did there? Eee hee hee! I crack myself up! Anyway, I also had some fun playing with my embossing paste and the brick mask for the background - it's always a good day when the "messy board" has to come out, lol. Stay spooky!
