Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween everyone!!!  One of favorite things to color is Halloween....I just love the colors associated with it.  My children who are now 29 & 17 don't do Halloween anymore but lucky for me I have tons of pictures still to scrapbook.  This is our daughter Emilee way back in 2007 dressed as a little devil....wasn't she just adorable?  I posted page 1 of this 2 page layout a while back & this page has been sitting on my desk since then just waiting to be completed.  What better day to post it then on Halloween.

For this layout I colored up Silly Spider, Peeking Froggy & Froggy Cauldron.  The backside of one of my papers had some perfect wording for this layout so I cut those out.  My lime green sparkly enamel dots were also a great addition as the color just fit Halloween perfectly.

Happy Tuesday HH Fans!

All month long the High Hopes Design Team has been creating cards using "Halloween" as the theme! This is my last "Halloween" card for the month of September. I'm using the adorable "Froggy Cauldron" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I love his expression, it's like he's saying "Oh no, what have I gotten myself into?".

For this card I decided to use paper from the American Crafts Bootiful Night 6x6 collection. I coloured my image with my Copics and then fussy cut him out. Using the Gina Marie Halloween Scene die, I cut it out using black cardstock and popped it up over the ghost paper with foam tape. I cut out the Halloween embellishments from the set and also from the YNS Happy Haunting dies in different colours. I cut each die cut 3x and glued them together so they had some dimension to them. I added "Froggy Cauldron" with some foam squares and decorated the "brew" with some Stickles. I also added some glitter pen to the flames but it's hard to see in the picture.

I used the same die and papers on the inside. I thought the HH "Brewin' Treats" sentiment matched perfectly with the "Froggy Cauldron".

Copics Used:

Froggy: Yg21, YG23, YG25, YG17

Brew: FV2, BV08

Fire: E23, E25, E27, Y15, YR15, YR18

Cauldron: T5, T6, T7

That Moment

I had some fun playing with "Froggy Cauldron" this week for my post. 

This stamp can be used for fun as I have or it is perfect for Halloween cards. 

My mom used to say this to me when I would almost be falling asleep eating because I was so tired from playing outside all day.

Close Up

I started by colouring my image with alcohol markers fussy cut him out. I cut out a stitched fishtail die tag and did some ink blending and added some fun burlap print with a stencil. The sentiments were created on my computer.
