Happy Hallo-weenie!!!

It's a Fun Friday - and it's not even Friday yet!  It's Halloween - or as Rambo says, Hallo-weenie!  I'd been looking for him a light weight t-shirt to wear in the house when it's chilly and finally found this one at a local pet store.  He already has a sweater but needed something light weight.  Like it or not he's getting older and just like a little old man, his hair is starting to thin out some.

He doesn't look happy at all in this picture but he LOVES his t-shirt.  The Trick or Treat words even glow at night.  He really thinks he's sharp looking - and he is!

And since we're talking about weenies...................Um..........

A very CAS card for this Halloween.  I used a stamp from Chicken Girl Design - who is sadly no longer in business.  This was one of the first stamp sets I bought on-line and of course it's filled with tiny little dachshunds.  Love it! 

So, Happy Halloween or Happy Hallo-weenie - whichever you prefer.  Have a great day!

Fall

Wouldn't you love to have your Radio Flyer wagon again - or maybe you still have it!  I remember mine.  We'd tie a strings around lizards necks and take them for rides in it...............Back in the dark ages for sure.  Now we'd be turned in for animal abuse.

This is an image from Impression Obsession that I've had for a long time.  It's called Wagon (SHU:H1884). I try to use it every fall because it's so neat looking.  I colored the rocks in the background a little too dark for my taste, but it's done and will still be ok for a card.  It's mounted on some very dark green polka dotted paper.  Looks almost black in the photo.  I added a strip of orange paper and then the frame piece and some twine.

I'll enter this in the challenge at Impression Obsession (Harvest Treats).

A Bear

Yep, it's a bear.....just sitting around doing nothing.  I guess he's being a bum like I am on some days.  I needed a couple of thinking of you cards so I made these the other day.  I used a stamp set from MFT that um.......I bought last year before Christmas and still hadn't used.  Shame on me!

Anyway, as I said - it's a bear.  Sitting.  Doing nothing else but thinking of someone.  I did a little stenciling after masking the bear and that was it.  Both of them I made are already in the mail now.

I'll enter this in the challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More (Clean and Simple).

Charming

This is so like what my life goes like at times.  I saw a challenge somewhere and really don't even remember where it was - but you had to use a charm on your creation.  I got really busy and made this clean and simple card using a snowflake looking charm I've had close to forever.  I framed it out with one of the new SSS sets of stamps and called it done......and even liked it.  Went over to add it to the challenge - and realized I was looking at the last weeks challenge instead.  So typical but it's ok because  now I have another card for Christmas!

All Signs Point to Halloween - PIP Challenge

It's that time of year again - Halloween will be here shortly!  It's also that time again for another fun challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges!  We're being sponsored this time by Limited Run Digital Stamps.  We're also having another Anything Goes challenge so be sure and stop by and enter your card or project for a chance to win a wonderful prize package from Limited Runs.

I used some Halloween background paper for my card today.  The "Boo" sentiment is from an older CTMH stamp.  Of course I just had to add that die cut bat and give him some googly eyes too.

Thanks for stopping by..........and enter our challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.

Boots and Bags

Believe it or not, I think this may be the last of the litter on Halloween stuff.  I sent two of the granddaughters a gift box and these little bags with a necklace were included - among other things.     The cards were tossed in there too.

For the cards I used the boot and sentiment from Taylored Expressions and swiped some distress ink on them.  The black was sprayed with the Glitter Dust stuff - and that's one of the reasons for the terrible photo - too much shine or something.   The other reason for the terrible photo is probably due to operator error -----

I used a Lawn Fawn die for the little bags and then also used some stamps from there too.  Made a few clouds, added the bat, and they were done.

I really think this winds up Halloween around here so it's time to move on to Thanksgiving and then Christmas.

Halloween Gets the Boot - or Shoe

Giving the boot (shoe) to Halloween with my card.  The boot/shoe and sentiment are from Taylored Expressions.  I used some different colors of distress inks on the boot/shoe.  Added the black frame, big bat, spider web, and spider die cuts.

For some reason I've made a few Halloween cards this year - and remember, I'm the one that doesn't even like Halloween!  Eek!  The kids have fun though so I guess it's ok.

I'll enter this in the challenge at Cute Card Thursday (Halloween) and Pixie's Crafty Workshop (snippets).

Thanks for stopping by...........oh, and in case you haven't noticed - I'm not doing any commenting on the weekends.  In fact, I seldom even look at Blogger then.   I'm not being rude, but this is giving me time to make a few cards, catch up on computer emails, etc. and just generally being a bum.  I'm getting pretty good at the bum business too!!
