Happy Halloweeeen!!!! and Keep Hoppin"

I couldn't let Halloween go by without making at least one Spook card! The three Spooks on this card are all set to go trick and treating today!!

The stamps I used for this card are from numerous companies.......Magnolia (witch, bat and pumpkin)..... High Hopes - "Frog Prince"........Will n Way - hat on frog prince......Studio G - trick or treat sentiment.

The witch and one of the papers that are showing up in blue are suppose to be Purple...Very Purple!! I don't know why they are blue here...I am hoping when I get my new bulb replacement for my light box I will have purple again in my cards....lol.

All the images are cut out and popped up on foam dimensionals. I cut the crown off of the Frog Prince and replaced it with the little witch hat. I used SU gold cord for the Frog leash that Tilda witch holds.

The glitter on the spider web in real life is not that glittery. I used stickles for the buckle on both witches hat.

The Fabulous SU Halloween papers on this card were given to me by daughter Trina....Thanks Trina!!

Stamps - High Hopes, Magnolia, Will n Way, Studio G

Paper - GP white, Michael's, Treasures CS, Stampin' Up, DCWV

Ink - Versafine, creamy caramel

Accessories - ribbon, cord, lace, brads, stickles, glitter, nesties, stitching

Happy Happy Halloween!! from our "Little Buddy"

He was quite the little poser for these pics.....and he did receive some very nice treats at the end....He knew that too....so was on his best behavior....lol...

Trina bought the little witch set for Buddy.....Thanks again Sweetie from Buddy and Me!!

High Hopes Challenge #4

This week the High Hopes Challenge is brought to you by Nikki...and it is a fun one......"Make anything but a card"...and I so enjoyed making these little gift bags!! Be sure to check out the HH Blog to join in and see all the Divas Gorgeous Creations!!

The image I used on the dog biscuit bag is from the High Hopes New Release Stamps....it's called "Christmas Treat" I just love this image....3 of my children have dogs...so I have a few more to make.

This Cute little gingerbread man is one of High Hopes older stamps. I believe this is the "Med Gingerbread Man" They also have a small one and a larger one. This bag contains gingerbread cookies...(of course)...The little gingerbread man can also be used as an ornament or to hang on a peg or nail. I have an eyelet on top of him with a gold cord in it for hanging. I tied the ribbons over the cord to attach the ornament.

Both images are colored with prismacolor pencils and h20's. I used scribbles and glitter on Santa's fur and the gingerbread man's icing.

The woof stamp is a stamp I won in a Challenge...I think it is a Pink Kat Studio stamp.

Paper - GP white, and Michael's

Accessories - ribbon, scribbles, glitter, cellophane bags
