Spooky Cat!

Today I have a Halloween card for you!
When I saw the latest TGIF Challenge inspiration image, I knew exactly what I was going to do- play with the cat part of this die, of course! I paired it with the sketch from The Paper Players and now have one more card in my very short stack to hopefully mail out today! 

Supplies:
Stamps: Scary Cute
Ink: Memento Black, Crushed Curry, Mango Melody
Paper: Mango Melody, Garden Green, Basic Black, Basic White card stocks
Accessories: Black Gingham Ribbon, Scary Silhouette dies, Blending Brush, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, big shot (retired)

Halloween 2020

I wasn't planning on sharing more scrapping so quickly, but I decided to make a layout to go with the SUO Challenge of "Halloween" and use the perfectly Halloweeny color challenge from The Paper Players! It worked perfectly to scrap a tiny Halloween party we had in 2020.  

Supplies:

Stamps: Scary Cute, Alphabest

Ink: Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, Memento Black, Crushed Curry

Paper: Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Basic White

Accessories: Gingham Ribbon, Circle Dies, big shot

So, the truth is, those are pages 1 and 3 of a set. This is the page that actually goes between the two above, but it has no stamping and the others do. 
And yes, you can peek into our Batman themed bathroom there, hahaha!

And here's the journaling, explaining the photos. lol. It was a weird time! 

"Halloween 2020 was an exasperating time, not knowing exactly the risks vs the reality of spreading covid by trick or treating. Mostly I felt okay about it, but I couldn’t shake the nagging concern. We decided it was best to skip trick or treating if there was any doubt. Instead, we had a small Halloween party, and did a little bit of “at home trick or treating!” Dad was in our bedroom, -- was in --’s bedroom, -- was in her bedroom, -- was in the basement, and -- was in the pantry! -- got to knock on all the doors and got a treat at every one and had SO much fun! We also played some games before the teenagers left. Dad, -- and I had pizza for dinner and watched two Disney Halloween cartoons."

We Create Blog Hop: Halloween & Harvest

And just like that, we're to October and at my house that means Halloween! My little one looooves Halloween, just like my mom and my grandmother, haha! We decorated the house yesterday and the trick or treat costume has been planned out and is waiting in my closet, haha.
Our blog hop theme this month is Halloween & Harvest, and clearly, I had to go with Halloween. 

I got this cute bundle set for scrapbooking, haha, but so far I have only made cards with it. Today I have two matching cards, except for the color scheme. I used the latest sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches and I think it definitely stayed clean-and-simple! 

First, some bright happy shades: 

Supplies:
Stamps: Scary Cute
Ink: Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody
Paper: Mango Melody, Basic Black, Basic White card stocks
Accessories: Leaf Label & Amber Gem combo pack, Scary Silhouettes Dies, Layering Circles dies, Glue Dots, big shot

And now some richer autumny shades! 

Supplies:

Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Very Vanilla card stocks
Accessories: Red & Green Pearls, Scary Silhouettes Dies, Layering Circles dies, Glue Dots, big shot

Now hop on over to Tricia's blog using the button below, and see what she's made for you! Then hop all the way thru, and let us know what you think! 

And since it's World Card Making Day, I have more cards to inspire you today, so keep checking back! And I hope you get to stamp today too!

Today's card mixes old and new stamps (seriously, first time ever using that cute fairy) for a fun birthday card that has been mailed out already!
I used the color challenge from CAS Colours & Sketches, and the latest Freshly Made Sketch.

This fairy is meant to be a cute trick-or-treater, from the July-Dec mini catalog, but for this image, she's just a cute fairy with a basket of sparkles! I love using products a little differently than they were intended!
