Just here for the boos...

TGIF!

The Spooky Season Spooktacular challenge has just wrapped up at Sweet November Stamps and I've got a card featuring all four of the exclusive free digis that participants of all four weeks will have received. Week one's prize was the Vampire Bat, week two was the Haunted Hallway Background, week three was Vampire Thurston and week four was Vampire Carmilla. Individually they are a lot of fun but as you can see, they work together to create a spooktacular Halloween scene. If you weren't able to participate in the challenge, don't worry, all four of these digital stamps will be added to the store for purchase next year. :)

Be sure to come back tomorrow for the Fall/Halloween clear release... woot, woot!

Fright Night Fun...

Hi there!

I've got one last card to share using the costumed critters from the new Halloween Party digi release at Sweet November Stamps. This pair of magical owls and their skunk friend are all part of the Decorating set along with a variety of fun banners. I added a few extra jacks from the Pumpkin Carving set to flesh out the party scene. Night is falling and the lights from those jacks are illuminating the festivities as the rest of the forest critters arrive to celebrate Halloween night. 

Oh, and I'm excited to let you know that the fourth box of stamps arrived yesterday so the Fall/Halloween clear release is on for this weekend! So get ready for a whole lot more spooky cuteness coming your way!  :)

Later gators!

All the treats...

Hey, hey!

Yesterday I colored this fun scene during my Live over on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. It uses the Pinata set from the new Halloween Party digi release and we had a great time bringing this cute bear cub and raccoon to life. There were so many great color suggestions but I have to say that my favorite may just be that cloudy grey sky that we did. It really sets the perfect mood for this spooktacular party. After the Live I added a pre-made sentiment strip to complete this happy Halloween card.

I've also got a card using the exclusive Halloween Party Crow digi that you get when you purchase the Halloween Party bundle deal. He's a cute addition to the rest of the party crew and he's ready to have a good time! 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

It's a Halloween Party at Sweet November!

 

Hello friends!

Happy World Card Making Day to you. I hope you are ready to party because the new Halloween Party digi release is now available in the Sweet November Stamps store. The cute forest critters have donned their favorite spooky costumes and gathered together for a scary good time! There are five sets to choose from; Apple Bobbing, Treat Table, Pumpkin Carving, Decorating and Pinata. Each set includes two critters and some background builders that you can have fun mixing and matching to create even more spooktacular party scenes. And if you get the Halloween Party bundle deal you will also get the exclusive Halloween Party Crow digi.

My first card features the fox and rabbit from the Apple Bobbing set with the addition of the tree from Pinata set and one of the jacks from the Pumpkin Carving set. These two friends are competing to see which will be able to grab an apple out of the water first. 

 

Next, hedgehog and squirrel from the Treat Table set are helping themselves to some sugary sweetness. With cupcakes, caramel apples, candy and punch all on offer, it's hard to choose where to start. Some bunting from the Decorating set and jacks from the Pumpkin Carving set add to the party atmosphere.

Finally, the Mole and Mouse from the Pumpkin Carving set are busy carving funny faces into all of the harvest pumpkins. The more they get done before the party goes into the night the brighter the lights will be as they all gather to dance beneath the stars.
 

Before I go, because it is World Card Making Day we have a special gift of a new digi that you can grab for free today only. I like to think the Happiest Happy Mail squirrel has just gotten an invite to the Halloween Party and she can't wait to attend. Now be sure to check out the Friends of Sweet November Stamps group on Facebook for even more Halloween Party cuteness from the rest of our talented design team. Also, don't forget, I will be coloring Live today at 11am PDT over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page and I hope to see ya there!
