OooOoooOoooOoo...

Hello and welcome fellow ghouls!

Today the hauntingly beautiful Ghost Willow is appearing on the scene to add just the right amount of eeriness to any Halloween card. You might think I'm crazy but this is my favorite 'incarnation' of Willow yet! Even though she is called Ghost Willow I can see her making a pretty cool sorceress, witch or Druid priestess all depending on how you color her up. To get this more ghostly look I stuck to a very limited color palette of the lightest BG and G Copic markers then I added a bunch of sparkle to her gown with a Copic Spica clear glitter pen (I think I even managed to get some of it to show up in the pic this time).

The rest of the card is really simple as all I needed in terms of pattern paper was this 'old as the hills' DCWV paper... isn't that a spooky backdrop?! Add to that a few bats, some 'star' gems and this cool sentiment that I printed out and voila... not a house that I would like to visit on a dark Halloween night!

The Lil Haunts will only be released as digi stamps and all four will be available in the Tickled Pink Store on Saturday. As always if you want a chance to win this ghostly ghoul all you have to do is leave a comment on the Tickled Pink blog today... BUT if you want a chance to win the entire set of four on release day then leave a comment at TP and on all of the participating Pink Ladies, Pink Spotlight, Pink Celebrity and Pink Party Guests blogs..... WOW that is a lot of {PINK} but SO worth it! ;)

Alrighty, scare ya later! :)

Switching gears...

Greetings fellow stampers!

Are you ready to switch things up a bit and jump from Christmas back to Halloween?

Today we are kicking off four days of fabulously fun Lil Lolita Halloween digi previews over at Tickled Pink Stamps! Our first sneak peek is Lilith dressed up as a dark and dangerous vampiress and I think she looks totally at ease in her costume. In fact I don't think that I have ever seen Lilith look happier, LOL!

I definitely think that Halloween cards are some of my most fave to make, I have so much fun creating crazy scenes for them and it doesn't hurt that most times they feature my fave color too. ;)
If you would like to make some Halloween cards with Lilith and the rest of the Lil Lolita digis I promise you won't have to wait too long before they are available at the Tickled Pink Store. Until then be sure to check out the TP blog to see what the rest of the Pink Ladies have created with this spooky beauty!

See ya back here tomorrow with a 'ghoul' you won't want to miss! ;)

Good morning friends!

Welcome to the sixth and final day of our Sweet November sneak peeks and candy!
This little guy spent all afternoon helping to decorate these special cookies just for Santa and he made sure to add extra sprinkles so they would be super yummy! He's hoping that if Santa stops long enough to eat the whole plateful he just might be able to catch a glimpse of the Jolly Ol' Elf as he places presents under the tree. ;)

Wanna see what's up for grabs in this last candy? Check it out... :)

Welcome to day four of our Sweet November sneak peeks and candy!
This little tot was tossing and turning all night because his older brother had convinced him that all Santa would be leaving in his stocking was a lump of coal. He tried so hard all year to stay off of that naughty list and now it may be too late! But come Christmas morning he is relieved to find a some sweet goodies all for him and a definite lack of coal. ;)

And I promise there isn't any coal in this candy either... check it out...
