Halloween treats

These are the spiders I made for us to hand out to trick or treaters. The circles are made with a 2" scallop circle punch. The legs are punchd from a photo corner punch (2 colors layered). Googly eyes were glue dotted to the top circle. A York Peppermint Patty is sandwiched between another scalloped circle. (You can use any kind of circular candy)

Midnight Madness #25

Another Christmas Card - using Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge # 25 (check it out at: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/) Colored with Prismacolor markers. I inked the edges of the aqua circle with white ink and added a little Shimmerz to give it a little something special. I really love Shimmerz (my favorite color is Angel Wings). The product comes in a little jar and paints on to give a little sparkle. Snowflake brads and a slim silver ribbon complete the look.

Midnight Madness #24

Here is my submission for Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #24. I am making Christmas cards for my Mom, so Mom here's one you will see again in a few weeks. I used lots of sparkly background papers (DCWV Glitteres Christmas Mat Stack). The holly leaves were cut from the Cricut "Christmas Cheer" cartridge. I cut and embossed a Nesties scalloped circle. This design was hard for me, I've struggled with it for a week, but I really like how it turned out.

Cuttlebug #54 Challenge

http://thecuttlebugspot.blogspot.com/ Color Challenge: use Purple, Green, and Black

I used the same digi stamp I used the other day from: http://lostinpaperscraps.blogspot.com/
I just love this Frankenstein image. Colored with Prismacolor markers. I cut him out using Scallopped Circle Nesties, embossing the purple layer. A little purple and black ribbon to top it off (or bottom it off in this case- haha)

There's Magic in the Air Challenge



Another challenge from: http://theresmagicintheair.blogspot.com/

Nina gave us another great digi - and it is very Fall inspired. I used my square scalloped nesties mounted on some sparkle paper I got for free at Archivers last year. (sorry the picture is not very straight)

Halloween Costumes



Rileigh is Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Maddox is Storm Shadow from GI Joe. We had a kids Halloween party and everyone had so much fun!

Maddox's Halloween card



Maddox made this card - he used the Cuttlebug Spiderweb embossing folder. We made the spider with a large scallop circle punch and photo corner punch (complete with gold fangs). I used the MS spiderweb border punch - at Maddox's direction, and he put some bug stickers on the web for the spider to eat.
