Happy Halloween!!!!

Yeah it's finally tonight!!! I'm so excited, I feel like a little kid again,lol!! So my boyfriend and I were going to be Vampire's but that fell through when my costume wasn't at the store and it was only online. I didn't want to risk ordering it and then it not getting here on time. I don't know. So we changed our minds lol, Daniel thought it would be funny to be a priest and a nun so that is what we are doing tonight. It is probably a better idea any way since the nun costume will keep me warm and away from getting sicker as I am still trying to cure my bronchitis. I'm sure I will have some pictures to share with you. I tried my costume on the day I bought it and when I saw myself in the mirror I literally laughed out loud, it was pretty funny. Although it's not the first time I put on a nun outfit, it is the first time in many years. The last time I tried one on was probably when I was 7 or something. If your wondering, my neighbor back home was once a nun, she still does nun things but doesn't wear the outfit, so I guess when we were little she thought it would be funny or cute to put my sister and I in it. I'll have to look for the picture when I stop by on Monday and then I can show you both picture lol.

As for today I just want to share with you a Halloween card. I got this super cute Mouse & Broom image from Digital-Ink Co. This lil mouse makes quite the cute witch, hopefully we won't be seeing any of them flying around tonight, lol!

Enjoy!!!!

D-IC Halloween Haunted House

Boo!!!!

Hehe, Hi there!!! I'm getting a little excited here, Halloween is right around the corner!! I haven't been feeling myself so hopefully I will be able to participate in Halloween events on Saturday. My boyfriend and I have several parties to attend and we have decided to go as Vampires so I think that will be fun. He wants me to paint his face and make him all up, not sure how that will go but I think I'll have fun putting him all together, Im not sure I want to paint my face though, but we will see. We are supposed to match so I think I may have to paint my face, as much as I don't really want to.

As for today I have a spooky card for you! This Haunted House is an image from Digital-Ink Co. by Reeces Designs. It's definitely quite the spooky house, I know  I wouldn't want to be near it any time at night!!!

ISS Retro Witch Sneak Peak

Hello there,

Happy 1st of October!!!! Halloween is just 30 days away, how exciting is that. Things are going to be changing around here. It's going to start getting colder and the leaves are going to start changing and falling. In fact the other day I noticed there were already leaves swirling around in the wind. Falll will be here before we know it and so will Halloween night!!!

I'd like to share with you a special little image by InStyle Stamps. It came in a little later than the other images so I get the pleasure of sharing it with you today. The image is called Retro Witch, and when I first saw her I was in total awww, I absolutely love her!!!! She is just perfect!!! I really love InStyle's Retro images, they are just so adorable!! I'm so glad that I get to play with this super cute image! She will be released on October 5th, so you'll have to hurry over to InStyle Stamps to get you hands an her and the other images ;-)!!!!

 For this card I decided to go with Jen del Muro's Sketch, picture to the left, from a few weekends ago. I figured that this sketch would be just perfect for this image, along with the new Halloween paper I picked up the other day at Michaels.

InStyle Stamps Blog Hop

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the InStyle Stamps Blog Hop. This is my first time ever participating in a blog hop so I am super excited!!! InStyle Stamps has some awesome new images to share with you all. In order to see all of the new images you must visit each Design Team Members blog and leave comments on each of our blogs and at the end of the hop go to the InStyle Stamps Blog to vote on your favorite project, and then leave a comment on that post (not mine) answering the following question:

"What is your favorite fall treat?"

The design team member whose project gets the most votes will get a prize, and InStyle Stamps will also be giving away a Grand Prize to 1 lucky reader (winner will be randomly drawn from the comments on the ISS blog post).
The contest is open until 11:59pm EST Saturday, and the winners will be announced Sunday.

This months theme is Treats and the new image that I am introducing to you is Tea Society Cynthia. Isn't she cute!!! The little saying that I made up when creating with her was "Trick-or-Tea-Treats" and to go with that I made little tea bag holders so that I could give tea away as treats.

Take a look and Enjoy!!!!

All of my projects together.

ISS Frankie

Hey there,

I hope all is well. Everything is well with me. Sorry things have been slow here around my blog, my granfathers services were last night and this morning so I haven't been anywhere near a computer in last few days, but I hope to get back ontop of things.

I have several cards to show you all,I just haven't gotten around to uploading them and making posts. I need to start getting better and scheduling my posts, I always have the picture uploaded but I always fall behind on typing up the details,so I will need to train myself to upload pics and add details at the same time so that it's all set and ready to go and I don't have to worry about doing it all last minute.

For this afternoon I want to share with you all a sneak peak of one of the new Ocober Digital Anime Halloween images from InSytle Stamps.

I want to introduce you to Frankie. He is so stinkin spooky, lol!!!!


For his card I decided to go with 2nd challenge issued over at Crazy 4 Challenges blog. So here is my take on the challenge.

So here is what I was able to come up with in the little time that I had. I used TCPTUES55 challenge sketch, I had a something a little spookier in mind but my time was limited so I'll have to show you what I had in mind at a later time.

Happy Halloween!!!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!! So as I guessed earlier this month, I am late on my halloween cards and what I really wanted to make is still in my mind and it hasn't been put together, maybe later this month, you'll have to forgive me I had a busy week with school. Here are some quick cards that I whipped up last night while watching my online class, look familiar, yup I made these witches earlier this month but I changed their outfits up a bit. Enjoy and be safe later tonight with all those ghosts and goblins creep'n around!







Thanks for stopping by.

In the Labratory, hehe

Lol, In the lab making some creations, just for a few minutes while I take a break from an essay and studying for a test for tomorrow, that's why I have been away, but since Halloween is approaching faster than I expected I decided I needed to take a break and make some more cards. I knew I was going to run out of time. So here are some creations, simple with lots of glitter and glue.

Warning: Glitter gets everywhere and glue is hard to erase!!!

For this first card I used A Muse "Hanging Spider" and A Muse "Happy Halloween" Sentiment and I made the spider web after visiting Tobi Crawford tutorial on making glitter spider webs. I added some red stickles glitter to the spider butt so that they are a little more creepier, hate spider, yuk!!!



For this second card I made my own web and spider and I noticed a challenge on Amy Sheffer's blog that was issued by Emily Gunnell (aka WaterPixie) from Dirty Dozen on SCS. It goes like this:

Challenge Focus: Create a Halloween card or treat holder.

Required Element: Googlie Eyes! We want to see those eyes jiggle!

Restricted Element: No pumpkins! You'll have to use a different image associated with Halloween!



Hope you like it, and thanks for stopping by!
