CASology #61 - Silhouette

Well...it is that time of year, the best time of the year in my opinion. The weather starts to change, the air gets a bit crisp and everything turns black and orange in celebration for the best holiday, Halloween!  So when I saw this week's CASology cue card was silhouette, I knew I had to make a witch flying by a full moon.  I have had the sentiment stamp forever and just love what it says.  It was a quick and easy card to make...thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my card...have a great week!

First Waltzing Mouse Challenge

I am so excited to finally own a set of stamps from Waltzing Mouse and get to participate in one of their challenges.  Their designs are so elegant and beautiful, it made it so easy to put the card together.  I was lucky enough to have the Hocus Pocus set on loan from Cathy Weber - The Empty Nest Crafter.  She is just too sweet! I did purchase one set and that one is Off Beat Backgrounds.  I know Halloween has already past, but now I will be ahead of the game next year.  I love the witch's silhouette, and that nose is just too cute! Just the way I would picture a witch in real life.  Thank you so much for taking a peek at my very first Waltzing Mouse card!

Make It Monday #33 Frosted Images

This weeks topic is "frosted images" and I thought and thought about what images and colors to use and then it hit...Halloween. What better than to have a witch flying across the foggy sky on Halloween night and it only took me two attempts to get it right!  This is my first time doing the MIM and making frosted images and I have to say both process were fun and I plan to do it again.

Love this time of year!

We are getting a bit cooler weather and even had a thunder and lightening show last night...this time of year is my favorite.  You can almost smell it in the air and I am really looking forward to much cooler days, fires in the fireplace and pulling out all of my fall clothes, especailly the Halloween t-shirts from Target to layer with long sleeve t's.  I even went as far as lighting a mulled cider candle and baking an apple pie. The pie is actually a birthday gift for one of my daughters friends, so we will not be cutting into it tonight, maybe I should have made two to them...

To keep with the fall theme today, I made a few Halloween treat holders for a PTI forum friend and some of my co-workers too.  The tall orange package with the band holds a Hershey bar and the stripe package is holding a Reeses PeanutButter Cup.  They were so fun and easy to put together that by the end of the day I had made a dozen of each.
