Halloween Eve

Twas' the night before Halloween and all through the house...Mommy was upstairs getting paper cuts and crying out loud. When what to my wondering eyes should appear but a beautiful display board covered in FEAR!!

Finally got around to updating my frame and pretty soon, it'll be time for Christmas (can't believe I just said that) Hope you all have a safe and Happy Halloween with your little goblins!

October SWAP

I went with a slightly NON tradition card this month but I couldn't pass up making these ADORABLE little boxes for the ladies, they were so much fun to put together! I made two of each and let the ladies pick their favorite.

Made with an assortment of punches, TOP NOTE & FANCY FAVOR SU! Sizzix dies.

October Club Projects

Don't you just LOVE fall? The cooler temps, where we can finally again wear long sleeves! The colors, the warm and cozy feeling you get when you breathe the cooler air. Aaaaaaaa....Fall! Oh, and let's NOT forget the candy, costumes and FUN colors-Love it ALL.

TWICK OR TREAT & EAT, DRINK AND BE SCARY stamp sets

TWICK OR TREAT stamp set & HAUNTING HILL jumbo roller from the HOLIDAY MINI

just punches on this one...

A punched pumpkin & statement from the HOLIDAY BEST stamp set

The last club project this month I snagged from Becky at Inking Idaho, her tutorial was right on and I LOVE the fact that we don't have to rip the card apart to get the candy out! It's even CUTER in person... I switched the colors up a bit, cause I wanted to pull all the candy colors onto the card. Plus, that's how you make it your own!

September Club projects

Using the SU! Sizzix Scallop Circle Die, we made this adorable dress, how FUN!!

(inside of the dress card)

Using the SU! Sizzix Matchbox die, we created this 3 drawer little trinket box, which I thought would be fun if given to a friend with all the material for the game of BUNCO tucked inside.

and to go along with the drawer, we made this spicy little number using the CARD GAMES stamp set from SU!-the center card we painted a thin coat of CRYSTAL EFFECTS to get a glossy look and feel. (to speed up the drying process of crystal effects, use your HEAT TOOL)

September SWAPS

Here's my SWAP card...we had a sketch challenge and I decided to use my NEW favorite SU! set CHIC BOUTIQUE, along with this fabulous black and white DSP and to make it even MORE challenging (and I enjoy a challenge) I added paper piecing (cause I just LOVE cutting tiny things out multiple times, seriously! No joke!)

Here are the ladies SWAPS, aren't they FABULOUS?!! =)

Bon Appetit!

Isn't this little guy cute?! He's from the VOILA SU! stamp set and

I just LOVE the paper piecing on this with SU!'s NEW black & white DSP
