Some Halloweeen {ippity}...

Just a quick post today to share two Halloween projects that I created recently for the I Heart {ippity} blog.  Heather Flaherty is my {ippity} chick-and she would love to be yours, too!  Just click on her lovely photo on the Unity Stamp Co. website and shop away!

 

First up is a colorful little card:

Next is a tag perfect for attaching to a bag of Pumpkin Spice coffee:

 

 

 

Both projects use {ippity}'s new Halloween Itty Bitty, "Halloween Greetings".  I just love that little witch!

 

Thanks for stopping by today!  Check back in the morning for another {ippity} project-this one has a Christmas theme!



Product Spotlight: Halloween Petit Fours

I love Halloween! Anyone who visits my house in October can easily see that-I go a little overboard when decorating for Halloween. Nothing scary..just spooky-cute.

"Spooky-cute". Now there's a phrase that describes this month's Product Spotlight perfectly. This month, DeNami is featuring it's adorable new Halloween Petit Fours set. This set is really cute. It contains a little jack-o-lantern face, a cute little spider, a spiderweb and "Boo!" I've used three of these images on my card above. First, I used the spiderweb to make a fun background on purple cardstock. Then, I used the "Boo!" stamp with StazOn ink to stamp my sentiment on DeNami's 5/8" white grosgrain ribbon. Finally, I stamped a little tag with spider and tied it to my ribbon. A few buttons finish off my card.

Please make sure you visit the DeNami blog today-we're hosting our September Blog Hop beginning at 11 AM EST (8 AM PST). Lots of inspiration and prizes to be won!

DeNami Projects

Sometimes I get carried away with my cardmaking and forget to do things-like post the finished cards. :) As I was using my DeNami stamps this morning, I realized that I had a couple of cards made using some DeNami images that were just sitting on my camera's memory card, waiting to be shared. Here are two projects that I haven't blogged yet. I will have at least one more card to share with you later today, using some supplies from the New Releases from July 1st.

The first card is one I made when I first got my new Halloween stamps. I just love the little Trick-or-Treat Chickies! I tried something different on this card by stamping the image on kraft cardstock instead of white, then coloring it with colored pencils. I think it gives it somewhat of a vintage Halloween look. I also stamped the little jack-o'-lantern face from the Halloween stamp set randomly on the bottom of the card, then added a glow around each face with some orange chalk. Leaf green cardstock and some of my favorite buttons (I used Tangerine on this card) add more of that vintage holiday look.

For my second card, I was inspired by Ayana's owl card to create a window. I haven't done one of these for a while and had forgotten how much I love have the image visible when you open the card. I used the Rosebud Trio, colored it with markers, then punched a mat using the same Leaf Green Cardstock. This color, along with the Amethyst Cardstock that I used for my card base, were both part of the new release from July 1st. These colors look so pretty together. I finished the card with a simple ribbon bow and an Amethyst Boutique Button.

I will also be back in a couple of hours to share my project for this week's Wee Memories Challenge! You won't want to miss out-Cosmo Cricket is our awesome sponsor this week!

Where does the time go?

I just came across this layout that I did a while ago. These photos were taken on Halloween in 2001. Look how little Jordan and Ryan were! It's hard to believe that they are 12 and almost-14 now.

On a side note, this layout is also my one little "toot". It was featured on the Simple Scrapbooks blog, back when there was a Simple Scrapbooks blog. I still check out the Simple Gals on their own blogs but it's just not the same, you know? Angie still cracks me up-she is a hoot. Check out her blog HERE.

Just a random post-missing those cute little Halloween costumes and angelic faces...
