Happy Halloween!


Whe ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! (That's my spooky laugh!) Happy Halloween one & all! Thought I'd show you the cards I made for my boys & my niece. Boy did I have fun with these.

 This is also my entry for the ABC Challenge DT call.


I made this for Jack. He's Mini Dracula from Make It Crafty. He's coloured with Promarkers & the papers are MME - Boo to You.


This next one is for Ben.


This image is another from Make it Crafty. This time it's mini Headless Horseman. Agian he's cloured with Promarkers & the papers are MME Boo to You. The little bats are made with a CC Cutters die & the star with a Spellbinders die.

I used the fab sketch at The Sweet Shop for my layout for this card.



This final card I made for my 5yr old niece.


This final card I made for my 5yr old niece.
I coloured this WOJ cutie with Distress Inks & used Fancy Pants Oct 31 papers.


I am entering these at Stamping For the Weekend where this week, 'Anything Goes.'

I hope you can see the bats on them all & I'm hoping they are sufficient to enter into the Totally Gorjuss challenge, 'Things with Wings' this week.

So I finally got this posted & Halloween is almost over! Hope you've all had a Happy Halloween & had lots of fun. Ben & Jack are away at my parents for half term this week & I really missed treating them to their Halloween party. It's not been the same without them. But I think they had fun nonetheless. Have to make sure I don't miss out next year!

That's all from me for now. Thanks so much for looking. Enjoy the rest of the week. Can you believe it's November tomorrow. Xmas is just around the corner!

Big Hugs,

Passion For Promarkers DT


Woah! Has been 2 weeks already since my last post? Where does the time go? But it's time once more for another fab challenge at Passion For Promarkers. This week our theme is

PETS


The DT have been lucky enough to be given images to play with by our sponsor,  Pink Gem Designs. I chose this little cutie & matched him with old Basic grey papers. So old I don't know what they are. Yay, go me for using old stash!! I added ribbon & dew drops for interest & the sentiment is LOTV.


 I hope you'll play along this week as you could win a choice of 4 digis from the fantastic selection at Pink Gem Designs.


I am also entering this at Sketch Saturday, where I used their lovely simple sketch for my layout.

On what was possibly the best day of Autumn this year we took the boys for a walk at Dunham Massey Park, a National Trust property near Altrincham. They have dear roaming the park. The boys loved getting up close to the wild dear that roam there.


  

Well, there you go for now. Hope everyone is having a good week. Thanks so much for looking.

Big Hugs,
Andie xx

SHABBY IN PINK OR BLUE



I went for pink to colour this little Digi Stamp Boutique cutie & used Fancy Pants - Winterland papers. I added cheesecloth to 'shabby' it up a bit! The sentiment is LOTV & the litlte snowflakes are from a Martha Stewart punch. There's a little Glamour Dust on her pockets for a  touch of sparkle.

Divas By Design DT


Good Morning to you. My, how quickly the weeks are passing! Xmas will be here before you know it. With that in mind, I've made a Xmas card for my DT card for this week's Divas By Design challenge. Our theme for you this time is to use

TEXTURE 


I have used one of the new digis from Sugar Nellie & coloured him with Prismas. The papers are Tinsel by Memory Box & the sentiment is from LOTV. The snowflake was created with a Spellbinders die. I also used an embossing folder on the kraft to add texture & I'd hoped to add some cheesecloth, but it did not arrive in time :~( 


I hope you'll now pop on over to the Divas By Design blog to see the fabulous inspiration of my fellow D-Teamies. Play along with us this week & you could win a voucher to spend at the wonderful Joanna Sheen online store.




I am also entering this at the Sugar Bowl where I have used their fab sketch for my layout.

At Papertake Weekly they are celebrating their 5th birthday with an 'Anything Goes' challenge. Happy Birthday ladies.

'Anything Goes' at Simon Says Stamp too.

At Totally Gorjuss they want to see cards using punches or dies.

So it looks like Autumn is well & truly upon us. I hope we get some dry weather soon so we can get out & enjoy it. There is no fun in trudging through soggy leaves. I like to kick through crisp dry ones. Guess I'm still a kid at heart!

Thanks so much for looking. Enjoy the rest of your week.

Big Hugs,
Andie xx
