Happy Halloween Everyone

I love this time of the year when the temperature changes, the trees are array of colors. So I have 2 Halloween cards for you. One I sent my Granddaughter who also has a birthday just before Halloween and my oldest Great Grandson.

So let's get started:

I was in such a hurry to get this one out, that I forgot to take pictures of the inside. I made this one for my Granddaughter Heather. All I can say is the I used a Ghost Sizzix and retired DSP. On to the next one.

This one I made for my Great Grandson Brian. I think he will like the inside with skulls, bats and frogs.


Cardstock                 Brown Sugar, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White
Markers                    Basic Black
Punches                    Decorative Label, Scallop Tag Topper
DSP                          Retired Halloween
Ribbon                     Trick or Treat designer ribbon

I love making these Scallop Tag Topper fold cards, they are quick and easy. Thanks for stopping by.

VC Rocks August Blop Hop

This month's Theme is Rock your Creativity with Stampin’ Up! Colors! 

I can't wait to see what everyone has come up with. There are so many colors and combos. Myself I chose some new colors and went a little artsy. What can I say!  I hope you enjoy the last Blog Hop of the season for VC Rocks. If you landed here first and want to go back to the beginning go to
http://vcrocks.blogspot.com.

Here is my card:


Supplies:
Stamp Sets                Lovely as a Tree, Best of Greetings
Stamp Pads               Mossy Meadow, Lost Lagoon and Soft Suede
Card Stock                Mossy Meadow, Lost Lagoon and Whisper White
Framelits                   Bitty Banners
Aqua Painter

This is a wonderful, card to make with a dramatic effect. I used my aqua painter with the new colors Mossy Meadow and Lost Lagoon for a water color background effect. Using Two of the stamps from Lovely as a Tree to give a forest  effect. I loved doing the stamp over with Mossy Meadow and the Larger Tree stamp to make that happen. I used one of banners from Bitty Banners framelits to make the sentiment. Just that simple, just that quick to make.

Thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think. I enjoy reading the comments, it makes me a better stamper. To continue on go to http://vcrocks.blogspot.com.
