Life has been so busy!
Also I think I was sick... a couple of my kids had a five day, nasty, stay-in-bed cold and I got a five day migraine that kept me pretty much in bed... Very, very little got done last week, of any thing. So first thing today, I got some scrapping done! 
Pretty simple, but uses stash and kinda fun. :)

Halloween Cookies!

Another late-in-the-day post, but I got a card made! This will go out next year. But I made paper cookies!!

I used the SUO Challenges inspiration photo. I didn't really have the Halloween images in the photo, but I do have a cookie cutter set, haha, and I have the shown colors. I stamped the cookies on Basic Beige hoping they'd look like lightly browned sugar cookies. They do not, but it's okay, hahaha....the colors show up better on Basic Beige than they would on Crumb Cake. I am not a coloring perfectionist and I decided to lean in to that and call it icing! And then the circles that come with punching out the gingerbread shape became sprinkles that are scattered on the table with the cookies! 

Supplies:
Stamps: Cookie Cutter Halloween, Buffalo Check

Ink: Memento Black
Stampin' Blends: Dark & Light Granny Apple Green, Dark & Light Pumpkin Pie, Dark Basic Black, Dark Highland Heather, Light Blackberry Bliss
Paper: Basic Beige, Basic Black & Granny Apple Green card stocks

Accessories: Cookie Cutter Punch, Dimensionals, Glue Dots 

A Covid Halloween

Halloween just keeps inching closer! 

Today I have a page from Halloween of 2021- which was the first time covid managed to get in our house. My older kids had bought pieces to be their then-favorite cartoon characters (Dipper & Mabel from Gravity Falls), but on the 28th, they went to get tested instead. My son got a negative and he was SICK for weeks. My daughter got a positive and she was sick for two days. mmkay. But she was still in high school and they were being pretty strict so they were stuck in their own bedrooms a while. I did make them have lunch outside in the sunshine, with human interaction, every day, and we did this little photo shoot. 

They got to wear the costumes the following year, haha, so it worked out, but it was a bummer that day for sure. 
The colors on the page came from mostly her clothes, but the definitely the photos. 

Supplies:

Stamps: Spooky Bingo Bits, ABC Alphabet Lower

Ink: Misty Moonlight, Berry Burst, Memento Black, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie
Paper: Berry Burst, Misty Moonlight, Basic White card stocks

Accessories: Classic Matte Dots 

Haunted Graham Cracker Houses

Happy Monday! 

I have another Halloweeny page for you today- this time I used pink with the very subtle orange dots! I don't think you can even see them in the photo, but they're sprinkled with the bats on the "top" edge of the DP. But her "haunted house" was pink, so pink it is! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Straight Up Alphabet & Numbers Mini set

Ink: Memento Black
Paper: Basic Black & Melon Mambo card stocks, Halloween Night DP

Happy Wednesday, apparently, ha. It's been a while! And I lost a day or two or something... 
But I'm back today with more Halloweeny scrapping! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Just Perfect Alpha, Greeting Card Kids

Ink: Memento Black, Soft Seafoam

Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green card stocks, Halloween Memories Two Tone card stock, Halloween Spells DP

Accessories: Shades of Green Hexagons, Pool Party Ribbon, Blending Brush

I stamped the pumpkin girl on a post it to cover my colored image. I used the Blending Brush to surround the girl with Soft Seafoam ink. It didn't turn out perfectly, but it's fine. The Granny Apple Green Hexagons are so transparent, they don't look at all green on the Gorgeous Grape base... Oh well. This kiddo loves Halloween and will be happy to have a new Halloween Day scrapped!
