Hi guys!
I hope everyone had a fun filled Halloween weekend and are now ready to jump headfirst right into Christmas cards. I will admit that as much as I enjoy making Halloween cards it was a treat to shift in to a whole different color palette with this first Christmas card of the season. It has been at least a month since I've played along in the Sugar Bowl Challenge so I printed out this super cute digi called Gift Wrapping and I am entering my card into the current 'anything goes' challenge over there. I paired this sweet Christmas fairy with some scraps of my all time favorite Simple Stories holiday collection. The faux burlap and stitching gets me every time and I think it really suits the nature like feel of this image. I also added a lot of sparkle and shine to the entire image but you can only really see it on the word 'joy' in the sentiment. Believe me, in person this CAS card is really quite eye catching. :)
Ok, happy Monday to you all and I shall see you again tomorrow!

Boo to you! And you and you and you! ;)
The forecast is calling for rain all day tomorrow but I doubt that puts much of a damper on all the little trick or treaters who will be hitting town in search of candy this year. Luckily for me I will be inside with the candy, LOL!
I saved this witchy duo from A Day for Daisies for my final Halloween card of the year because I totally adore them. The digi is called First Flight and it so looks like these little witches are just waiting for that right moment to mount those brooms and take off into the night sky. The card is all one single scene that I created with masking and stamping... all except the little bat die cuts that I did add at the end.
Alrighty friends, have a spook-tacular weekend! :)

Hi there!
This magical mistress of the night is the Wild Sprout from the TGF Spooky set. Originally she has just the super slicked back hair but I felt like giving her some extra long locks. It was really easy, all I did was draw in a few lines behind her and colored 'em in. Once I had her all colored up something about her gown had me seeing her as Arachne, Queen of the spiders so I grabbed this cool stitched spider web die and used it all around the edge of the white cardstock. Then I found some fun spider stamps to keep Arachne company. The sentiment is an old Heidi Grace stamp that is great because it gave me the chance to color it any way I wanted.
Alrighty, one more Halloween card to go... see ya back here manana! :)

Hello, hello!
I came across this Annabel the Witch stamp while cleaning out some drawers in my crafty room this summer and I was determined that she wouldn't go one more Halloween without getting on a card. The original image has Annabel holding a plate with a slice of cake and a fork in her mouth but I didn't know how I could make that work so I did a bit of altering. All I did was wipe away the cake and fork then drew in a slip of paper instead. I like to imagine now that she is taking a break from mopping to study a new spell. And I couldn't resist giving her a little pal who I'm sure is trying to keep Annabel on task but to no avail... LOL! :)
Ok, I've got a long road trip ahead of me today so I should get myself ready. Take care everybody!

Good morning!
Sure there is a whole stack of Halloween images sitting on my desk vying to get on a card this year. And sure, Mizuki here isn't technically a Halloween image but with those skulls on her belt and the way her kimono turns to swirling mist at the hem I always saw her as some kind of sorceress. So in my mind she has always been perfect for a funky Halloween card and now was the time to get it done. I wanted everything about Mizuki to look magical so I played around with a black to white ombre effect on her kimono and also went for a two toned hair-do as well. It doesn't show up well in the photo but her gown is covered in sparkles just like the bats flying in the night sky behind her. Yep, there is definitely something quite magical about Mizuki. :)
Later gators!

Hi guys!
Well this week I feel like I am already ten steps behind. My schedule is so hectic and I feel like I already need a breather... LOL! I didn't have much time for crafting yesterday so I needed a quick image to color up. My Moon from ADFD was sitting on my desk and she was perfect. This image is so simple yet so elegant, if it wasn't for the pops of orange in the ribbons she is practically done in blacks and whites. And I had this old scrap of paper that I have been hanging on to for years which finally found a home and I couldn't be happier with how it sets the scene for Moon. It truly looks like it is a magical night. :)
Alrighty, I'm outta here. Catch ya on the flip side!

TGIF my friends!
I'm keeping today's post short and sweet because I'm running to town this morning and I've got lots to do before I go. This digi stamp called Little Pumpkin Witch captured my heart as soon as I saw it in the ADFD store. There is something kinda vintage looking about this little guy which I really love. I paired him up with another great sentiment from the Superstition set from Papertrey Ink and since I had a gleaming pumpkin I figured the scene needed a black cat as well. So I grabbed a pen and sketched a kitty in my best imitation of the ADFD style, I really like how they are looking at each other now. A sprinkling of wood veneer stars and another Halloween card was done. :)
Hope you have a fun and crafty weekend! See ya on Monday!
