Happy Halloween

Well the house is all restructured, so just waiting for the plasterer, plumber and electrician to do their bit next week then my new kitchen can be fitted :) The design has been finalised today as well so it's all go, go, go! This does of course mean we've got to cope with minimal cooking facilities for probably the best part of another two weeks - think microwave, deep fat fryer and bbq - let's hope it stays dry! We've switched the power back on in the utility room tonight so I'm catching up on the washing while I can.
I made this last night:


Another Halloween treat bag made using an image I made in the new Digi Stamp Designer at Pink Cat Studio coloured with promarkers. The bag is made from a backing paper from Bearly Mine. The tag is a beer mat covered with paper from Crafter's Companion. I've printed the Happy Halloween haunted house from Stamper's Best onto acetate. Flowers from Crafter's Companion download. Tag is attached to the bag with a ribbon.

Challenges entered:
Crafty Cardmakers - cute with dark twist 
My Craft Spot - 3d Halloween
Digistamps 4 Joy - 2 identical embellies
4 Crafty Chicks - marker it up
Scrapalicious USA - I can see clearly now
Digi Doodle Shops Best - green and purple
Delicious Doodles - Halloween (no orange)

Crafting for all Seasons #12 Halloween

Loved seeing all your fall flowers and pumpkins last time but a new challenge starts today at CFAS and we'd like to see your Halloween projects or for those who don't do Halloween use Halloween colours. We're being sponsored by Pink Cat Studio and Just Some Lines. I've used an image I created in the new Digi Stamp Designer at Pink Cat Studio to make a hanging decoration.


The image has been coloured with promarkers and cut out and mounted 3d to the decoration. The backing paper is a freebie from Jak Heath and has been cut with a nestie circle and mounted onto scalloped nestie mats. Decoration is finished with a black cat from Kameo Cards, black ribbon for hanging, a green bow, button, skull and crossbones from Beccy's Place, sentiment from The Crafty Nomad, a small bow and pearls all coloured with promarkers.



Do pop over to the challenge blog to see the rest of the design team's projects, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
