Cupid's Helper

Now I know it's Halloween time and I'm posting about Cupid?!?! No I haven't lost my mind it's my take on Simply Betty's 9th day of Halloween! It's all about LoVe potion no. 9! This was one of those challenges where it all just fell into place! I knew I wanted to make a drink, and remembered seeing on of these hanging drink mix holders on Splitcoast Stampers! I think this would be a fun thing to have for each adult in your trick-or-treat party. I know I'll be taking one! And don't you think Devil Rio would be the perfect helper for cupid - Drink it or else! :)

The paper is from Scribble Scrabble and DCWV. And of course Devil Rio is available at Simply Betty Stamps but hurry, she's will only be available until October 31st!

Pumpkin Treats

At TiddlyInks Challenges this week the challenge was to create treat bags or boxes. I decided to pull together some of my favorite little pumpkin digis, to create some sweet treats for my cousins!

Pumpkin London treat toppers for my sassy big girls by Simply Betty Stamps!

Sweet little pumpkins from Tiddly Inks for my littlest munchkins!

And handsome Hallow Pumpkin digi from The Greeting Farm for my big boys!

Hopefully your Halloween is full of lots of treat and a few tricks along the way!

What's Brewin'?

I'm just sqeaking this into the 8th Day of Halloween at Simply Betty!
Our challenge was: On the 8th day of Halloween... My ghoul love gave to me... 8 Waltzing Zombies, dancing around a Witches Cauldron! Well I colored up my favorite witchy Betty and used paper from Graphic 45's Hallowe'en in Wonderland line.

Just Jack!

Oh hello my dear blogger! How I missed you this week! Our weather in Vegas has been beautiful, but Monday night we had a flash flood- something we here in the desert are ill equipt for! We something happened during the flood to cause us to lose out internet for 3 whole days!! Oh how I missed all my blogs! I even missed posting my profect for the 6th day of Halloween :( But at least I'm back now and can share my card for the 7th day This is a card I made using Sure Cuts A lot and my Cricut. And even better It is perfect for a friend birthday next week! She is a huge Nightmare before Christmas fan and I had been mulling over what kind of card I could make her! Make sure you head on over to Simply Betty Challenges and join in for the last few days!

My Favorite Ghoulfriend!

I have been dying to color the new "ghoulfriend" digi stamp! I colored her with my copics and gave her some Diamond stickle highlights :) I used my Tim Holtz brick embossing folder for the front of my tent card. Then distressed like crazy, filed and inked. This is perfect for the 5th day of Halloween at Simply Betty Challnges and TiddlyInks Halloween Challenge this week! My two favorite challenge blogs smooshed into one card!

Be Cool!

Happy Wednesday! I'm sharing a super simple and cute card today! I used Happy Birthday Penguin digi. All paper is from DCWV's Christmas stack. The little penguin is colored with copics and used stickles and liquid glass on the ice.

The fourth day of Halloween: Crows & Crow's Feet

It's the fourth day of Halloween at Simply Betty Challenges! Here wasthe challenge!

On the 4th day of Halloween my ghoul love gave to me four crazy Ravens... Incorporate Ravens and this line from Vincent in your projects: "His voice was soft and very slow As he quoted The Raven from Edgar Allen Poe: “and my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor shall be lifted? Nevermore…”

I read this once and twice and allomst cried because I knew I didn't have any stamps, papers, embellisments, nothing with a crow. So out of desperation I googled crow digi stamp and crossed my fingers! LOL I was thrilled to find MyGaphico's creepy crow set and I knew just what I wanted to do! The background of the card is made with glimmer mists, crumpled up and smoothed out again the give it texture. Then added some double ruffle ribbon to finish! The jar is a project I have wanted towork on FOREVER! I have a collection of jars that I wanted tomake a spooky set of candy jars but never started. When I saw black licorice at the grocery store I knew I had to make a jar for crows feet! Thanks for visiting!

Talk about cutting it close I think I have MINUTES to get my latest card for Simply Betty's 12 days of Halloween DAY 3 Challenge!

Have you joined in on all the fun challenges yet? Well what are you waiting for? Head over to Simply Betty Challenges!

Howdy!

This is just a little card I made for my youngest son. He loves to take my cards everywhere with him and this one is super glued down to be extra durable! I made the card using Original Cowboy Kid digi from 2 Cute! Isn't he adorable?!?! For this card I didn't use any designer paper just blue and brown cardstocks and a woodgrain background stamp.

Allright I just have to show off my real life cowboy! These are the new pj's we got this weekend! LOL! I love this boy!!

Trick or Treat!

It's the second day of Halloween at Simply Betty Challenges! On the Second day of Halloween my Ghoul love gave to me... 2 Trick or Treaters dancing down the street! I choose to work with some of the cutest trick or treaters, Jude and Peter! I love Jude, for my sons very first Halloween he wore a Frankenstein costume that looked just like this, head piece and all! Aww memories :) I decided to make a flip flop card for my 2 trick or treaters! What a fun card! My boys have taken turns all afternoon opeining and closing it! All paper is from Echo Park.
