Still Halloween

Almost Halloween! I love handing out(and eating) the candy. This card I cased but not sure who from, I want to say Michelle Zindorf but if it was yours, please tell me and I will give credit where credit is deserved. I sponged the background and embossed the Haunted wheel. All my wheels are cut apart so I can see what I am  stamping. Simple card but very striking.

Halloween Cards

So I am in the mood to make Halloween cards. I am one that does give them out. The first card is really simple with an embossed background from Cuttlebug and three bats from a Stampin up set that I can't think of the name(any help would be appreciated). The saying is from Holiday Best(Stampin Up).

This card I brought out the Fiendish Friends from Stampin Up and coloured with pencil crayons. i love this set. I added a couple of crystal skulls to accent the page.

Things that Fly

This week's corrossive challenge was Things that Fly. I decided to use one of our sponsers Karens  Doodles and it is hard to see but I made a glittery witches shoe to hold candy and a magic wand. I will try to post a better picture later this week. I am ready for Halloween in the next week I will be showing some of my cards. Have a great week and make sure to play along!

Purple Passion!

This week at the Corrosive Challenge, we have a great challenge for you- Purple Passion! Make a card using purple and one other colour. I used one of this months sponsers Doodle Pantry. I love the bat and it was already coloured in(how cool is that). I also used orange as my other colour(since I don't consider black and white as colours) I then cutout black glitter bats with the Stampin up bat punch.
This month is a great month. I love Fall, everything about it. On the 5th is my husband's birthday and on the 19th is my moms. I love Thanksgiving, Halloween and as you can tell I get pretty excited about it all. family getting together, craft shows, pumpkins. Oh My!

September

I can't believe it is already September!

This will be the first year that I have no children going back to school, and does it ever feel wierd. This week's corrosive challenge was to use one of our sponser. I use dudetime doodles. I love this image, my husband is in construction and for him to wear a white t shirt is ridiculous! It also went with my image that all construction workers,policemen, firemen(you get the idea) should work with no shirts on(again only the hot looking ones) Pretty sexist of me, I klnow but hey.... Anyways, I got lost in thought there for a moment, so please join us over at the corrosive challenge for some fun!

Dark and Dreary

This weeks corrsive challenge is to make a "dark" card. So, naturally my mind went to Halloween. I used the owl from Stampin up's dark and dreary set and the flourish from Baroque Motifs. The fence is a Martha Stewart punch and I sponged the background in going grey.

It is with heavey heart that Janet(founder of the Corrossive challenge) is stepping down. I wish her all the best as she is just one fantastic person. Thanks you to Susan and Regan who have agreed to keep the challenges alive. In September we will be challenging you every other week.

I have forgot to post but would like to share(a little late) that on August 16th, my husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary. It was spent quietly but very content. I know it is corny but I think I love him more today than in the begininng, we have been through many trials and tribulations and made it our only slightly scarred. Here is a picture from that time(please be aware that it was the 80"s).

Girly !

This week is Girl power week at the corrosive challenge. I used our sponser(Simply Betty) image Josie rag doll. She reminded me of the movie Coraline and also the dolls, I can't remeber their names LaLa something. I call them spooky- A-- dolls. So I thought she deserved to be all in pink. The saying is from Summer fun set in the Stampin up mini.
