I made myself get into the Halloween spirit this weekend. I feel like I already missed the Holiday since I have been seeing Halloween stuff posted on most blogs for weeks now. I know we have to think ahead in this business, but I have a hard time "getting into the spirit" if it is just too early. Now that we are a week into October and the air is starting to feel cool (well it was last week, today we are supp
osed to be 80!) I'm starting to feel Halloween. This first card is something you have probably seen now, multiple times all over the stamping world. I sure wish I knew who came up with the original idea, I just adore him. He is created with the Top Note bigz die for the Big Shot and lots of SU punches. I mounted him on a full sized card of black cs, lined with tangerine tango. I used the sanded background and distressed the edges with the cutter kit (
still one of my favorite tools). I kept the sentiment simple with two words from Everyday Flexible Phrases (had to go diggin' for this set, it had been awhile). The next two cards feature my newest, Unity stamp that I won for FREE on a Hip Hop Thursday two weeks ago. It is the Distressed Spidey Dance. I stamped it three times on this card and pieced it together to make the journaling brackets a little wider. This fits the Limelight sketch from last Friday. I pulled out my one and only Halloween set, Booglie Eyes (retired, SU) and colored and cut out Frankie. OH, yeah, the ribbon is from Limelight and 
I won that a few weeks back for playing along with their sketch challenge. How cool is that?! Here is the other card using the Distressed Spidey Dance from unity and it shows the complete image. I added the words using my Simple Serif mini alpha and Everyday Flexible phrases again. This was the second card I did with the WCMD sketch challenge by AJ on Saturday. This time I used the ribbons for the three strips. If you haven't jumped into any Halloween projects, now's the time! Have fun with this fun color combo-kiwi, pumpkin/tangerine, purple and black! Happy Monday! Hugs,
