CHECK OUT MY PUMPKINS!!

I cut the face for the one on the left using my Silhouette and brown vinyl then just stuck it on the pumpkin. CUTE OR WHAT?!! Easy too!! Then I cut another stencil with pink vinyl stuck it to my pumpkin, cut it and VOILA!! The BATMAN signal!! He never did show up. LOL!!

Anyway, I just wanted to share my little projects that I used my new Silhouette for that I got for my birthday from my mom, my sister and hubby!!! LOVE IT!! THANK YOU!! Wait until NEXT year!! LOL!

Friday Sketchers #126

Yay extra time to play!!!! Well kinda. I had to make a birthday card for an aunt of hubby's so thought I'd also use a sketch from Friday Sketchers.

Paper: Crate Paper "Brook Collection"
Embellishments: Green leaf pins from Creative Accents, Stickles, lace from Wild Orchid Crafts, Prima flowers, spacer from Hobby House and pearls from ELine.

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

Simply Betty Challenges.

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!!

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!

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!!
