Happy Friday everyone!  Are you ready for Halloween?  We have a lot of fun in store for you today as our spooktacular team of designers have all concocted some frightfully sweet tricks and treats.  As you "Trick or Treat" by stopping at each of our designer's blogs, you'll not only be treated to some amazing paper crafting eye candy, but you will also receive some faBOOlous TRICKS and TREATS along the way. 

Wendy has started things off by giving you your first TREAT by offering everyone 15% off your entire order this weekend by using code: BOO2U  (Expires: Midnight EST - November 1, 2015) 



I used the sweet Prehistoric Pals clear stamp set for my card today.  I'm sure dinosaurs celebrated Halloween too, right?  I colored the images with copics and then cut them out using the SugarCuts - Prehistoric Pals die set.  I cut some watercolor paper using the SugarCuts - Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle dies and the SugarCuts - Zig Zag Stitched Circle dies.  I sponged lots of distress inks on the watercolor paper and then sprinkled some water drops over the sky and grassy area.



Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.  I'm giving out a TREAT!  Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate!  So are you ready to do more Trick or Treating?  Don't forget to leave a comment at each designer's blog for your chance to win one of our 4 TREATS!!!  The winners will be announced in a special blog post on Monday, November 2.

Enjoy the hop!
