Challenge Card #4

And thanks for sticking with me....for all those people that have seen all 4 of my posted cards today!! :) This is my 2nd Halloween card, and 2nd easel card, of the bunch...I created this card for the following challenges:

My Craft Spot: Too Cute to Spook
Paper Playtime: Use Black, Orange, and Purple.


Recipe:
Cricut Cartridges: Hello Kitty Greetings, Happy Hauntings, Doodletype
Cardstock: DCWV, Recollections, Stampin' Up!, Bazzil
Copic Markers
Martha Stewart Drippy Goo Punch

This was my first experience with COPICS!!! LOVE THEM!!! My hubby surprised me with a small set a few weeks ago, and I just haven't had a chance to work with them on a true project! I LOVE the way they make the cuts just POP!! It's hard to see without a close up picture, and I didn't take one...sorry....But if you saw the edging on SPOOK, up close, it is too cute! All of the yellow on the card, I outlined in a green copic and got a super cool effect! I can see this is going to be something I do a LOT of on my projects!

Thanks for stopping by tonight!

More Halloween Goodies

I know that Halloween is over....long over. The only remnants of Halloween are the few Pixie Stix that are left in my daughter's orange pumpkin bucket. Seems no one wants to eat those, with the exception of my naughty kitten, who loves to dig them out of the bucket and bat them around the kitchen floor. But even though Halloween is over, I still have another Halloween post for you. And then I'll move on...I promise. These $1 orange buckets from JoAnn's cleaned up nicely with a few decorations from Mini Monsters and Happy Hauntings. Assorted ribbons trim the bucket handles. Martha Stewart's Drippy Goo border punch decorate the edges.



I also made up some of the 3D coffins from Happy Hauntings, and threw a die-cut on each of them to dress them up. A real quick Halloween treat box for my nieces and nephew!

Halloween Treat Bags!

Here are some Halloween Treat Bags that I made for my daughter's daycare friends. We are trick or treating with her on Halloween, and live in the country to boot, so we don't get any trick or treaters at our own house....so I have to feed my creative hunger some other way, and this is it!! "Ingredients" are under the pictures...

(I apologize for the lighting in the pictures, I took them at night...)
