12th Day of Halloween

On the 12th day of Halloween my
ghoul love gave to me
12 Witches Cackling

We are down to 2 ladies in the 12 days of challenge over at 

For my card today I am using Willow the Ghost but in another life she was a witch.  She looks like a good witch tho.  SO!!  The remaining 2 ladies have to have a witch incorporated into their projects.  You wouldn`t think it should be too hard at this time of year hey?  LOL!  Good luck to the finalists!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO YOU ALL!! 

I am also entering this into Tickled Pink Stamps monthly sketch challenge.  FINALLY!!

TRICK OR TREATING WITH TIDDLY INKS AND SIMPLY BETTY STAMPS

This is one big collision of a group of truly talented ladies and I'm so glad to be a part of this hop.  If you've come here from Donna's blog "Popsicle Toes" you are on the right track.  And isn't her work something else?!!  If you would like to start at the beginning go back to Christy's blog "Tiddly Inks". 

The ladies at Simply Betty Stamps are using Tiddly Inks images and vice versa.  I chose to use 3 TI images:  Betty Belfrey, Cast Your Spell and Door of Spook.  All images are colored with Copics.


The trick on my project is the door - HOW CUTE IS THAT?!
If you open it very slowly,
TADA!!!!


It's Betty Belfrey throwing around her glittery spells!!


Now for my treat, I am offering this rubber stamp from Magnolia.
"Haunted House"
I will draw the winner November 1st!!!


What's a blog hop without a challenge and more prizes?  Check out all the details at Christy's blog Tiddly Inks or Betty's blog at Simply Betty Stamps for more information.

Now hop along and you may find some more treats today!!  Your next stop is Jennifer at Wanna Be Creative!

For a complete list of the blog hop you can visit Simply Betty Stamps or Tiddly Inks.

Have fun!

I also want to give a callout to my girlfriend Nancy at Another MD Crabbie as she totally inspired this project for me.  If you haven't see her stuff you must check it out.  OOoooodles of talent this one!!

Jude and his Shenenigan Crew Christmas Blog Hop

WELCOME TO A CHRISTMAS HOP!!

Hopefully you have come over from Debbie's blog but if you like, you could start at Simply Betty Stamps.  

My first of the season but Betty is so smart for thinking ahead!!  The industry moves so fast and ahead of schedule she's going to follow the trend, hence why the early hop and reveal of some new Christmas images!

All these new cuties will be on sale along with the rest of the sale going on at Simply Betty Stamps until the end of the month!  Jude and his Crew Christmas digis will be only $3.00!!

This little cutie is Jude.  Isn't he cute all tangle up?

So, grab yourself a nice cup of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa and off you go a hoppin'!  Your next hop is over to Jennifer.

Also, I just wanted to mention I used Papertake Weekly Challenge sketch to create my card.

8th Day of Halloween Challenge

On the 8th day of Halloween my ghoul love gave to me
8 Waltzing Zombies, dancing around a Witches Cauldron!

For the ladies left in the 12 days of challenge over at 
this is their next challenge.
Use zombies or witches around a cauldron. 
 I loved using Betty the Witch on my card for this challenge inspiration. I added some barbed flourishes from Silhouette and the sentiment also came from Silhouette.


Good luck to all the girls left.
Wow getting down to the nitty gritty!!  

And I am also entering this card into Cute Card Thursday.  Love their sketches!!

Tutorial

POPCORN BOX TUTORIAL

A number of you asked for me to do up a tutorial on this popcorn box and I'm sorry it's taken so long.  Gosh life gets away on us doesn't it!

I hope it comes in handy!  You can really put whatever you want in these little babies.  Even put some tissue in and then some home made cookies! 







Now you can wrap it in guaze, like I did below or cut 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" design paper and layer each side.  Try wrapping a border around the top in a separate color or using ribbon as shown here:

 Enjoy!
