"Quoth The Raven..."

A goth style card or at least that's what I attempted in the spirit of the season.  I purposely ripped the ribbon for a more goth feel.  And, I didn't notice until after I downloaded the picture that the poor raven looks like he is about to fall off his perch!  So, I'd just say he's about to take flight!  LOL

PPA 14 In The Pink

Grateful

A thank you card of sorts in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month and the PPA 14 In the Pink Challenge to use pink in a card.  The sketch is from the Midnight Madness Sketch, MMSC25.  Pink is one of my favorite colors so I could NOT do a pink challenge!  And, it didn't take me long to get it all to come together.  After I got it all together and in my lightbox, those brown embossed circles remind me a lot of Oreos.  LOL! 

Boo To You!

My last two Halloween cards for the season.  I ran out of time to make all the Halloween cards I wanted to make so I have had to file my ideas away for next year.  These are simple creations of my own, no challenge inspired.

Spooky, Frightful, Scary

Get Sketchy #11 and Paper Cutz #14

Get Sketchy #11 Bonus Challenge Buttons

 Okay, first of all, I cannot believe I have posted at least one card every night this week!  That is an all time record for me.  That might tell you that I haven't done much else this week!  LOL!  Oh well, it has been a slow week.  My son who is on crutches doesn't need surgery, just physical therapy.  And so since he has still been on crutches, it's been school and home basically.  School is out tomorrow and my hubby is off work tomorrow through Sunday.  Yea!  A 3 day weekend for all of us!  Maybe we will get some things done around the house or maybe I will just get more cards done as I am still behind and clearly now on a roll!

Here are cards I have made for some Thursday challenges --- Get Sketchy and Paper Cutz: 

Witching You a Happy Halloween

Originally I was going to use a witch hat stamp for this card along with the broom, but found it was too much with incorporating buttons also.  So, the witch's hat will go on another card.  I had a lot of fun making this card.  The orange paper I made with Versamark and burnt orange cardstock.  I also used this paper behind the title circle that was versamarked and embossed in black as was the decorative stamped doodles on each side.  Both patterned papers I outlined with black chalk to give it more of a witchy look.  I used black rick rack between the papers and then decided to border everything, which I think helps give the card an extra pop.  The broom is a Jolee sticker enhanced.  It originally had gold for the bristles.  I took those off and found some straw from an old straw coaster, wrapped tape around it to stick and then wrapped straw wire to cover the tape.

Paper Cutz Challenge #14 - 3 Different Patterned Paper

Autumn Is In The Air

This was a quick card, under 45 minutes!  Fastest I've ever worked!  I cut out the pumpkins from patterned scrapbook paper for one of the three patterned papers.  I am hoping the embossed brown paper is counted as patterned paper as well.  The title is versamarked and embossed in a brick brown powder.  Brown ribbon is added for some flair.  Even though this was a very quick card, I am liking it!

Cinema Saturday Challenge #55

SPOOKY!

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #55 - Hocus Pocus Movie

Challenges are geared toward a movie and this week of course, it's a Halloween themed movie. I think Hocus Pocus is one of the better family Halloween movies.  It's funny and scary, but not too scary!  This is my first Halloween card this season and my first Cinema Saturday challenge. I found the colored spider embellishments at Jo Ann Fabrics and thought they were so cute!  I think they are perfect on the webs.  I am very happy with the finished product.

Stamps:  'Spooky' title; spider web, skeletons.

Ink:  Versamark; Moonlight White; amethyst and silver tinsel embossing powder.

Other:  Cardstock and patterned paper from stash.  Plastic colored spider embellishments and colored gem stick-ons. Orange staples.

Have a 'spooky' evening!
