#WCMD2014

Spooky Screamy Happy Halloweeny

/ Jodi / 14 Comments

Since I didn’t get to do any stamping and card making yesterday on #WorldCardmakingDay, I got up early this morning anxious to participate in The Paper Players Halloween Theme Challenge (PP216).  And it sure felt Halloweeny waking up to 49 degrees F outside this morning…

Halloween PP216

I’ve been looking forward to playing with the SU Holiday Home Stamp Set.  So many of the elements are perfect for a Halloween card.  I did some sponging to create the dusk sky, some masking for the moon and house, then some coloring and Wink of Stella.

Halloween 2 PP216

I’ve also been looking forward to using the SU Mingle All the Way Halloween sentiment here, so added it to the inside with a few more spooky, screamy bats.

Halloween 3 PP216

I really enjoy playing The Paper Players Challenges.  Such a talented, encouraging design team and lots of creative participants always inspire me.

With our first fire of the season crackling in the fireplace, a nice glass of wine, and rosey cheeks from a fun hiking adventure at McConnell’s Mills this afternoon with my buddy, Janet, this afternoon, I wish you a fun October and  fun Halloweeny times at…

life in between.

Cheers & Hugs,

Jodi

(PS  Looking forward to sharing a fun photo blog with you soon on our trip to McConnell’s Mills!)

 

Happy #WCMD !

I said I wasn’t going to post this weekend….

But I forgot didn’t realize just learned it’s World Card Making Day!

And seriously, with a major holiday like this, how could I not share and post and wish you a Happy #WCMD2014 ?!  🙂

So here’s a cute little fuzzy owl (made with brown flower soft glued to Mr. Owl from with Jillibean’s You’re Tweet Stamp Set.  I added some googly eyes, glossy accent hearts, and used Stampinup DSP, cardstock, ink, and ribbon in Chocolate Chip).  And since it kinda matches the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches FMS156 (maybe a stretch – but what the heck!), I thought I’d enter it there.

Here’s a close-up of Mr Owl.

And there are contests and challenges I need to enter – like this one here for my stamping friends to try too!

And I get to celebrate being selected as a “Cut Above” at ThePaperPlayers Challenge this week!  Thanks Laurie for choosing my googly-eyed punny tomato card.

So Happy Saturday, Happy Fall, Happy Weekend, and Happy #WCMD2014!

Whooo Loves You?  ME!

Cheers & Hugs,
