Halloween Greetings
This sketch gave me a good opportunity to use my “Spooky Fun” pieces for one last Halloween card. The Halloween Night suite of products is the perfect complement to “Spooky Night” and the Halloween Scene edgelits. I have also thrown in stars from the Metallic Enamel Shapes collection. Thank you … Continue reading
Spooky Fun
I planned to make a daylight landscape with various patterns for the “hills” that I saw in this sketch. As it turned out, I couldn’t pass up the cool spotty print from the Halloween Night collection. It made the perfect night sky. The Halloween Scenes edgelits and coordinating stamp set … Continue reading
Treat Coffin
We made these Halloween treats at our team meeting this month. They are CASEd from a project done a couple of years ago by Allison Okamitsu. Each is a pouch for a candy bar, and they are really quick and easy to create. The base is cut from Basic Black … Continue reading

Cookie Cutter Skeleton
I don’t use Washi Tape enough, and that is a shame because look at how easy it makes a background. You can add coordinating color and pattern in no time! This Washi Tape, enamel dots, twine, and the paper I used for the moon are from the Halloween Night collection … Continue reading
A Spooky Mess
I had a Halloween card in mind for this sketch, but I liked my components better when they were skewed and messy looking. Halloween is the perfect occasion for a tousled, unkempt appearance. The sketch was my starting point – I just ruffled it up a bit. The skeleton is from the Cookie … Continue reading
Swirly Scribbles Pumpkin
I used two of the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits to create this pumpkin. My stem and leaf are from the retired “Apple of My Eye”, and the greeting is from a retired Hostess set. You can substitute easily for those items, and if you don’t have any of last year’s Black … Continue reading
