School Days

I've had this card done week's ago and for whatever reason just didn't get around to posting it. I have to thank my friend Danni for this one since she sent me the Tilda image via Wish Rak. I keep on telling myself that I need to get some of these stamps and then some but the list is mighty long. Since I didn't have the right sentiment for the tag that Tilda is holding I printed off the thank you teacher clipboard image from Whimsie Doodles and used that instead. Then I decided to add another sentiment from the School Things set also from Whimsie to fill up some of the empty space. No clean and simple cards here *LOL*

Stamps: Magnolia - Tilda with tag, Whimsie Doodles- School Things and Thank you Teacher

Paper: Kraft (can you believe it?) Regal Rose, Soft Suede, White, SU DP, Carolyn Gavin DP

Accessories: Copics, Dimensionals, SU Ribbon, Nestabilities, Small SU Star Punch

Trick or Treat

Back to Halloween *LOL* Don't worry I'll run out of Halloween cards soon. At least its a break from all the pink I usually do. Here's another one of those cards that came together quickly due to the simplicity of it. I call this one my get my butt in gear project since it was done in an incredibly short amount of time. I used my Happy Halloween stamp set from i {heart} papers. Lots of cute images in the set. See that gorgeous paper in the background? I really didn't want to cover too much of that up. Its from Memory Box -Twilight Collection pad and can be found at IHP of course. Also if you are looking for some nestabilities dies you can find the Double Ended Tags nestabilities here and the Labels One nestabilites here. I used both of them in addition to my Key Tag punch from Stampin Up.

Smell my feet

I had lots of fun with this cute image from C.C. Designs. You can probably tell when I get some cute new digi's. Seriously just pick a digi company and I'm sure I can list a ton of images that are on my wish list. Oh if only they were for free *LOL* This time I used two printable sets from The Cutting Cafe. I know you've seen the Halloween Labels one many times before. I printed out a sheet of images sometime ago and thought I'd use them up. That and I just love the sentiment. The other image is from the set called Halloween Card Borders. Lots of possibilities with that one.

Eat, Drink and Be Scary

I thought I'd challenge myself to something different and this is what I ended up with. Although it is still in my running theme of Halloween I was hoping that it would be different enough to inspire you in some way. The fun little monster image is from i {heart} papers and is called Silly Monsters. I used Basic Grey -Granola brads for his eyes. Lets just say that the sentiment goes perfectly with those eyes. The star shape and the Eat, Drink and Be Scary Label are both from The Cutting Cafe.

Here's one more card. I made this one for the SCS Sketch Challenge SC235 and used my Happy Halloween set from IHP. I think I went a little bat crazy. It gave me an excuse to use that Double Faced Faux Orange Suede Ribbon and My Mind's Eye - Candy Time paper again.

Just for You

I have to admit that I am having a blast making Halloween cards. I could easily make them all year round. Of course the C.C. Designs image wasn't really intended for Halloween, at least I don't think it was, but it was easily transformed into one. With black and gray hair she reminds me of Wednesday from the Muensters, only in a sweet kind of way. See that cute little circle sentiment? Its from a set called Halloween Labels from The Cutting Cafe. It would make great halloween treats for the kiddos. Looking at it I wish I would have added a pair of googlie eyes on it or maybe one big eye in the middle. Everything is better with googlie eyes, right? I do have a handful of Halloween projects to show you. If you aren't into Halloween (not sure how that is possible) hang in there I do have some non halloween cards coming up.

Boo! Its Twisted Thursday

Happy Thursday!! First let me say that you don't want to miss out on this week's Shirleys 2 Girls Twisted Thursday Challenge. We have one awesome sketch for you and a fun twist this week. Ready for the twist? You have to use Boo on your card. I sure hope you join in this week. I'd love to see what you come up with...so I challenge you to inspire me!!

Today's card was one that fortunately came together before my very eyes. I had limited time and a table full of scraps and images prepared ahead of time. I even had the circles made. Here are the deets on my card. I used two of my favorite halloween images from S2G. The first one is SG 907 Spooky House. Somehow it says halloween to me. I paired it up with the Spookies 1 SG 901 image. You can't go wrong with either one if you ask me. Oh yeah, I also used some scraps of digi paper from S2G called Bats and Cats. To join in on the fun all you have to do is create a card using this week's sketch (don't forget the twist!), and then head on over to the challenge blog and add the direct link to your project on Mr. Linky. Gallery submissions should have the keyword S2GSC26.
