Same But Different: Orange Skeleton Tags

I made these skeleton tags last Halloween, but I never used them.
I tucked them away in a box, forgot about them, then discovered them in my fall cleaning.
I decided to use them in cards as the main embellishment. The skeleton is actually a stretchy toy.

Oh, boy, am I bummed! I moderate any comments left on my blog.
And what did I do? I clicked "Delete" instead of "Publish" - Doh, doh, doh!
Eighteen comments were lost and there's nothing I can do to get them back.

Unfortunately, Blogger doesn't have a place that stores deleted comments.
Nor do they ask you if you really want to delete them before actually deleting them.
Ok, ok, I'll man up. I did click "Delete" after all.

You can see the photo below.

Skeleton

Eek!

Let's Party With The Witches

TIP: Use whatever you have to embellish a card. There is no limit to what can be attached!

Take these two witches. Do you know what they are? I'll give you to a count of five.

One . . Two . . Three . . Four . . Five . .

Have you figured it out yet? Well, if you haven't that's okay. They are erasers. Yep.

Haunted & I Want Candy

I usually keep cards to their own posts, but I happened to make quite a few this time around, so I'm doubling up today! These two cards are mini cards, or ATC gift cards: 2.5"x3.5" - Perfect for tucking into a treat bag or sneaking into a wallet. Do you make mini cards? What do you do with them?

Wicked

I have been on a mission. I wanted to use up all of my Halloween supplies, especially since they are over a year old. It was fun . . . well, the first three or four, but I'm getting towards the end. Ok, maybe not the end of my supplies, but definitely the end of making Halloween cards!

I have a stack of them already in their envelopes, sealed & ready to be sent, but I still have many more to give AND make.

Do you send out Halloween cards? I usually don't. My mission is making me do it :)

Anything But A Card Challenge #4: Fall/Halloween

Happy Fall! Happy Halloween! It's your choice what will inspire you for our fourth challenge at Anything But A Card Challenges. Like it's name, this challenge requires you to think outside of the card box and create something different.

 For my project, I create a chalkboard frame. All the lovely dark purple (including the flower shape) is ready for you to write a message with chalk, erase, then write again.

I painted, distressed, then sealed this fun piece of useable home decor. The finishing touches were a smart grosgrain ribbon bow & one-eyed monster.

Fun, fun, fun!

Happy Witch Day!

Tuesday Alchemy was sponsored by Jesseas Designs previously and I was able to use one of their delightful digital images.

Isn't this witch just super sexy & fun? Love it!

Since I came across my old Halloween goodies, I have been incorporating them in my creations. Cobwebs and spiders are absolutely perfect for anything spooky & creepy.

Have you made anything creepy lately? Do you enjoy Halloween? If so, what do you love about it?

Btw, our current challenge at Tuesday Alchemy is Anything Goes and the second challenge of Spark Your Creativity Now! is Anything Goes - Create your own challenge & share your creation with me :)

Clear It Out Challenge #13: Anything Goes With Black, Orange & Purple

Clear It Out Challenges offers up a challenge that lasts for two weeks, so here is a little inspiration midway through if you haven't already joined in the fun!

Bugaboo is our sponsor and I had so much fun using this digital stamp from their collections.

These spooky & hot shoes would be perfect for Halloween, don't you think? Of course, you couldn't be scared of spiders to wear them, though - Ha!

Crafty Creations Challenge #190: Fall Harvest

Can you believe that it's October already? Wowzer, this year is just passing me by! I really need to stop and eat the candy corn :)

At Crafty Creations, we are welcoming the fall season by challenging you (and ourselves) to use Harvest colors, such as red, orange, yellow & brown.

Our sponsor is Digital Delights and I was inspired by their sweet little witch. I gave her fun variegated yarn hair, a modern hat (Buckles are just out of style for witches these days - Bows are much better!) and two spider friends.

What do you like about Fall? Is it your favorite season?

Clear It Out Challenge #13: Anything Goes With Black, Orange & Purple

It's October - Can you believe it? The year has just been flying by!

At Clear It Out Challenges, we wanted to celebrate the upcoming holiday. Happy Halloween! Ok, it is a little early, but this challenge will allow you to create a card (or any craft) for the day of candy, dressing up and spookiness.

Of course, we didn't want you to feel that you have to create a Halloween creation, so it's a color challenge using those popular colors of this fun holiday - Black, Orange & Purple.

Bugaboo is our sponsor this challenge and I used one of their super fun digis in this creation.
I chose to go with a super funky Christmas card. I mean, really, do Christmas cards always have to be green, red & white? 

Have you used unusual colors in a Christmas card? If so, what colors did you use?
