Trick or Treat!

I managed to get some crafting time this afternoon whilst hubby was watching football.  I made these goody bags for my three boys for halloween.  The images and sentiment are a free set from Scribbled Kidz which will be available until Wednesday.  The photo is not so great but the haziness maybe adds to the spooky idea.  The images have been coloured with promarkers and the backing papers are from Stampin Up.

A Card for my Niece

I've made this card for my Niece whose birthday it is tomorrow.  I think I'm safe posting tonight because I don't think she follows my blog :)

The cupcake in the middle is a decoupage set from Craft UK and they really do well for last minute cards.  It's actually an easel card but I couldn't get a good photo of it in the time I had so I just got the front.  The spotty paper was from some freebies that came with a magazine.  Hopefully, she'll like it.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Fussy and Fancy - Anything Goes
Fat Pages & Cards with Attitude – Anything Goes
ATCs & Cards With Attitude - Anything Goes

It's Sketchy at Cards for Men

It's time for another challenge over at Cards for Men and this time we have a sketch for you.  Here's my card, but you'll find loads more inspiration over on the main post from my team-mates.  The prize on offer is a 6-pack of Flexmarkers from Letraset so hop on over and join in.

On my card I'm using a new image from Scribbled Kidz which I've coloured with promarkers.  The sentiment is from a Greetings Farm set which I've stamped using Lucky Limeade from Stampin Up.  The lace was a bit from my stash.

Devillish Divas Blog Hop

Welcome to the Devilish Divas Halloween blog hop!  You should have arrived here from Cely's blog.  If you are just joining the hop and want to start from the beginning, please visit Dena’s blog and begin there so you don’t miss out on any of the cool projects! 

This is a Halloween-themed hop sponsored by Kenny K Downloads.  One lucky winner will win their choice of FIVE digi’s from the Kenny K Downloads store along with a fun Halloween goodie bag sponsored by our hostess, Dena Jones.  Details on how to enter are at the bottom of this post.  Here is a brief bio on our sponsor:

 

 

 

Digi and rubber stamps from KennyK are a fun and edgy way to add the perfect dose of attitude and style to all your creations! 

The creator, the artist, the man:  KennyK is a NYC-born professional illustrator who has brought his funky-but-slick, urban-influenced look to the cardmaking and papercrafts world.  His signature style can be seen throughout his various collection of pinup babes, sweet ‘n sassy girls, cool rockin’ dudes, kid’s stuff, retro characters and more at KennyDownloads.com.

 

Now, on to my project:

 

My image is Scarlett West and I think she's wonderful. She reminds me of the 'Melody Pond/River Song' character in Doctor Who who's rather naughty.  I've coloured her with promarkers, backed with some wonderful paper from Stampin Up and a bit of web rbbon from my stash.

 

 

Hope you enjoyed your visit!  If you'd like a chance to win our blog hop candy, here's what you need to do:

Have you heard about Scribbled Kidz?

It's a new digi stamp company with images designed by my hubby!!!  As you can imagine, I love them, but I'm biased.  Please have a look and judge for yourself.  In the meantime, here's a card I made with one of his first images, it's called 'Lookin Scary Tonight'.

I've coloured the image with promarkers, the backing paper is from stampin up and the mesh ribbon was in my stash.  I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

It's time again for another challenge over at Digi Galore and here's my card for the DT.

The theme is Halloween and the sponsors are the ever-wonderful Bugaboo.  We have a great prize of 7 digis for one lucky winner.  Pop over to the main post to get all the details and to see the rest of my teamies ideas.

I've used a few images from Bugaboo - Silhouette Skull Tree, Halloween Brat Dracula & Halloween Brat Pumpkin (on the inside).  The Skull Tree was printed on acetate, with hindsight I'd print it bigger, but we live and learn.  The other images are coloured with promarkers.  The Cobwebs and spider were cut out on the Cricut from the Mini Monsters cartridge.    The backing paper is from Stampin Up.  Here's a picture of the inside:

I hope to see you joining us over at Digi Galore over the next two weeks.
