Frightening Feline

The countdown is on to all the fall holidays and beginning August 1st, you'll be able to start ordering from the 2012 Holiday Catalog so you can begin making all the cards that we enjoy this time of year.

Something wonderful I've discovered with my latest Holiday Pre-Order comes on the back of the DSP Paper packs.  How many times have you had to look in the catalog to see what colors go with the DSP you're using?  Or do you write them on the back so you can see them each time you pull out your pretty papers, like I do?  Well, write and wonder no more... take a look at the back of this pack.  It's from the Holiday Catalog - Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP (isn't that a fun name for Halloween paper?).  It lists the Stampin' UP! colors that go with the DSP.  I hope this will be the trend with all the papers, both Holiday, Occasions and Annual.  Wouldn't that be awesome??

And now... my first Halloween Card.  I got the basic idea from Mary Fish she has such great ideas!  I changed this up a bit from what she had and used a different shape behind the kitty and a spider to make it scarier!
