Anyway ..... onto the crafty stuff.
I made my first ever halloween card which I was pretty chuffed with. Don't know who I'm going to send it to though.
I did it for Die Cut Challenge which provided the sketch and colour combo of black, purple, orange and green - but I missed posting. Hey ho.
The image is a digital image and came from Nina May and I really loved it - a wee bit different. I paper pieced the pumpkins on the main image and the pumpkin heads down the side were clip art and treated with glossy accents.
Here's a close up of the wee mousy image:
I'm going to enter into the challenge over at A Spoonful of Sugar which is looking for Halloween or other spooky projects as well as Cuttlebug Challenge blogspot which is challenging us to create a Halloween or Fall card.
Going from spooky to cute, I used another (free) digital image from Digital Delights to create this little card:
I used the sketch from week 73 challenge over at Friday Sketchers which I think fits. October is Wear It Pink month and at work we do various fund raising events to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness and I thought I would make a few cards to sell. I might even donate the box of cards I just keep in a box and look at!
Take care

Laurane, thanks for still linking your card, I do so loving seeing things even after they have passed, so truly thanks! What a lovely first Halloween card! I know it kind of stinks for the places that don't celebrate the USA kind of holidays, but you did an awesome job and you could always send it to me! I would be honored! :O) LOL... Your other card is especially sweet and I saved that same image as well! What a lovely thought to donate the box of cards for such a worthy cause. I have had several friends over the last several years diagnosised with it. Thanks for playing along this week over at TMITA!!
