In the meantime, Linda was busy making some really cute Halloween Cards.  See what you think.

Isn't this a great cat made from punches?  Ovals, hearts, word window circles and the ever popular Googlie Eyes!  I just love those cute little Googlies!  Just bought some more myself this weekend.

Candy Corn!

One of the favorite things about the fall and Halloween time is Candy Corn!  Bath and Bodyworks goes crazy with their scents on Hand Bac's this time of year and they are always fun to decorate!  I actually got this idea from Nancy Riley's blog but changed it up just a tad when I discovered I'd used up my yellow Polka Dot Parade DSP on a previous project.

Instead I used Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White cardstock.  I also inked the edges of the Daffodil and Pumpkin paper with Pumpkin Pie ink with a dauber.



Recipe:

Cardstock:  Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White

Ink:  Pumpkin Pie

Stamps: Itty Bitty Banners (w-126255 / c-126257)

Tools:  Bitty Banners Framelits (129267), Petite Pennants Builder (122361)

Ribbon - 1/8" Pumpkin Pie Taffeta

Come back tomorrow morning for another cute Hand-Bac decorated for Halloween!

Creepy!

It feels SO good to create again.  After all the long hours at work this last week, we managed to finish up on Saturday so we could have a 2 day weekend of Sunday and Monday (Labor Day).  After sleeping in a little bit yesterday - all the way to 8 a.m. - I was up and inking, punching, cutting and creating!  Woo hooo!



I saw the basic concept of this one on Connie Babbert's blog but changed up the papers and they eyes.  One thing I missed was putting the white highlights on the eyes, but since I covered the jar with a piece of clear window sheet, there was no way to lift it back up.  I still love how it came out!

Paper:  Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Old Olive

DSP: Howlstooth and Scaringbone (126906) and Floral District (126919)

Ink:  Pumpkin Pie, Black StazOn, Basic Gray, Real Red Stampin' Write Pen

Punches:  3/4" circle (119873), 1/2" circle (119869), Owl Punch (middle circle) (118074), 3/8" circle (from Itty Bitty Punch Pack) (118309), Jewelry Tag (117190)
