Happy Monday friends. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Since it's Monday we have a new challenge for you over on the Pollycraft Challenge Blog. This week our lovely Marit chose our theme and she has decided that "anything goes". Now, how easy is that?
I used Marleys Bauble for my card today. Isn't he just the cutest mouse? I paper pieced his hat and used Liquid Applique on the fluffy parts. The snowflake border is a Martha Stewart Punch. I used Glamour Dust Ultra Fine Glitter Paint on the snowflakes and added a pearl to each of them.
We are being sponsored this week by Letraset. Please stop by the Pollycraft Challenge Blog to see the gorgeous work by the rest of the DT. I hope you can play along with us this week.

Spooky Treats
Have you had your Trick-or-Treat night yet? Ours was last night and we actually had more beggers than we've had the last couple of years. It's so fun to see the little ones in their costumes, isn't it? I love making Halloween cards and decorations so I'm sad that Halloween is almost over. This will probably be my last Halloween project for the year.
I used Background Haunted House from Di's Digi Downloads. I printed the haunted house scene onto my Halloween paper and then cut out the scalloped tag using a Sizzix die. I made the rosette and added a computer-generated sentiment. Some black and orange gingham ribbon finished off my project. My hubby found this candy jar so I'm really suprised there's any candy corn left lol!

Happy Halloween
Just a quick post to share a picture of a treat bag I made using this cute image from the Barry Halloween collection. I made a few of these for my grandson to give to some of his little friends. You can find this adorable image and lots of others over at StampFairy.
This cutie is colored with copics and colored pencils and I added Glossy Accents to his nose. I covered the little mini-clothespin with paper and attached a sparkly dimensional spider sticker. These were super easy to make and Zack loved them.

Trick or Treat
Hello friends. I have a Halloween card to share today.
This is Barry from the StampFairy Barry Halloween 2 collection. Isn't he adorable all dressed up as a candy corn? As soon as I saw him I knew I had to use him to make a Halloween card for my grandson. I colored him with copics and colored pencils and used Glossy Accents on his nose. My grandson will love that he has a shiny nose - I'm not sure what it is but he loves when I use Glossy Accents on his cards lol! I used my spiderweb punch and added some ribbon and a little sentiment tag. Very clean and simple card but I know Zack will love it.
Stop by the StampFairy shop and check out the cute images Gerda has available for all occasions. But I'll warn you - they're addictive :)

Spooky Sweets
Happy Thursday friends. My little grandson loves candy. Well, I guess most 6-year-olds do, don't they? Anyway, I decided to make a little Halloween treat box for him.
I've used Chubby Halloween on this treat box. You can find this adorable little bear and lots of other Halloween images over in the StampFairy Shop. I colored my image with copics and colored pencils. I used Glossy Accents on his nose and Glamour Dust on the stars on his hat. I started with a plain paper mache box and painted it orange. I decorated it with some Halloween papers and a spiderweb border punch.
I've filled this little box with lots of kisses ... and I'm sure I'll receive lots of kisses for making him this little treat ;-)

I have used Magic Spell by Di's Digi Downloads for my spooky little card. OK, I'll admit she doesn't look very spooky - but she does look very cute, doesn't she? I colored this friendly witch with copics and colored pencils and used Glamour Dust on her hat and magic wand. I've added some ribbon and a little charm and then punched out a spiderweb with my Martha Stewart punch.

Girls, Girls, Girls
Hello friends. Are you ready to start your week off with a new Pollycraft challenge? Our lovely Cazza chose our challenge this week and she has chosen the theme of Girls, Girls, Girls.
I've used Swings and Slides - Cute as a Cupcake for my girly creation. I just love the sweet look on her little face. I colored this cutie with copics and colored pencils and cut her out with nestabilities. I picked up this cupcake ribbon quite awhile back and thought it would be perfect with this adorable image. I've added a few pearls and a little sentiment tag to finish my card.
Please be sure to stop by the Pollycraft Blog to check out the gorgeous work by the rest of the DT. We're being sponsored this week by Sew Sweet. Check out all the fabulous products that Emma has available in her shop.

Simply Sparkly
Well, we're halfway through the week and only 2 more days until the weekend - yeah!
I have something sparkly to show you today. I used Tiffany, one of the Simply Sassy images from Sugar Nellie. Isn't she gorgeous in her little dancing outfit? She would be perfect for a little budding ballerina, wouldn't she? I colored her with my copics and colored pencils and used Glamour Dust on the edges of my papers. I also sprinkled Glamour Dust on the flowers, doily and punched butterflies. I used some sheer ribbon on my card but it's kind of hard to see. I made a little lace rosette and added a pink heart button, to match the one she's wearing in her hair.
You can find this beautiful image over at Funky Kits. And, have you entered the Sugar Bowl Challenge yet? You still have a week to enter their latest challenge and the winner gets some gorgeous Sugar Nellie stamps! So be sure to stop by the challenge to get all the details.

Paint Yourself A Different Color
Happy Tuesday friends. I have a sweet little bear to show you today.
This little cutie is Bearicelli and you can find him and lots of other adorable images over at Di's Digi Downloads. I colored this little budding artist with copics and colored pencils. I added Glossy Accents to the nose, paintbrush handles, and the paint blobs (yes, I'm sure that's the term all professional artists use, lol) on the palette. I stitched all my papers and added some ribbon and a bow.
As soon as I saw Bearicelli I knew exactly which sentiment I wanted to use with him. I've had these cute little Inkadinkado sentiments for quite a while and I knew this sentiment would go perfectly with this bear. Wouldn't this be the perfect card to cheer up a friend who's feeling a little down? You may want to hand-deliver this card though because it's very heavy lol!
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your day.

Whimsy Inspiration
Hello peeps. I hope you've had a wonderful day. If you follow my blog then you know I love Halloween! I've got a very fast and simple Halloween card to share with you.
I used the witch from Whimsy's Raindrop Echo Design Halloween Sentiments and a Halloween Ticket Sentiment on my card. I stippled some black ink around the edges of the cardstock. I used my Martha Stewart punches and added some twine and a button. Now, don't be a scaredy cat - stop by Whimsy Stamps and check out their fabulous selection of stamps and other products.
Thank you for stopping by!
