Trick or Treat

Happy Fall!  It's finally arrived here in Wisconsin.  It had snuck in for a bit, then we went back to two weeks in the 70's and now we've settled into true fall weather.  The leaves are falling and everyone is raking and doing their fall yard work.

Since fall is here, Halloween and trick or treat aren't far behind.  I defintiely have to say it's one of the more fun holidays and the kids come out in droves.  I can only hope that I get to answer my door to this sweet crew:

This is Rubbernecker's Lil Lovin's Trick or Treat.  Trust me this stamp is sooo cute, it's sure to bring a smile to the grumpiest trickster's face.  It's part of the booty I received for working the Scrapbook Expo.  Here's a close up of the little guys...

I added some Stickles to their treat bags and of course, to Vampira's hair.  Every vampire needs a little glitz.  Click to enlarge any of the pics to see the details.

I hope everyone is enjoying their fall fun.  Here's a share of a bit of ours...

More Halloween happiness to come!  Have a great day all!

Grrrr - Rawr

Look at this little guy all decked out and ready to go trick or treating.  He's from Rubbernecker Stamps, part of their 2010 Halloween release.  I probably don't have to tell you but he was a bucket of fun to color.

I was lucky enough to be invited to work with Rubbernecker at our Scrapbook and Rubber Stamp expo here in Milwaukee.  I had an option of taking a cash payment or a whole buncha stamps.  Doesn't take much imagination to know that I leaped at the chance for some yummy stamps.  This is one of two I picked up that day and I have 31 - yes 31! - sets and singles being shipped to me :)

The dp is left from a kit that I received ages ago.  I save all the bits and pieces from kits that I receive because I always know that at some point I'll find a use for them.  The solid paper and the card base are all PTI - I love their stock.  The fence cut out I received as part of the swap on SCS.  It was a border swap and a lot of fun.  Not having a bunch of border stamps myself, it was neat to get a whole slew of things to work with.  Be sure to click on the image to enlarge it - the dp has some wonderful shimmer and dragon boy has some incredible detail.

 

More soon!

International Imke

Good morning and welcome to this edition of the International Inkers!  Today's fun bundle of goodies is brought to us by Imke.

She's included a TGIF image -Sing and it's just adorable!  There were some wonderful papers, ribbon, flowers, a super flip flop charm and assorted other pieces of bling ~ gotta love the bling!

I chose a super simple layout because this image was such fun.  I, of course, colored her up with my Prismacolors ~ they were very happy to see some action since they have been very neglected lately.

Now, be sure to visit the rest of the Inkers and leave a comment on each blog.  Imke has put together an extra kit to send out as a giftie to one person who visits each Inker.  (Tanja's card is on Imke's blog since her blogger is not working well ~ be sure to leave to comments, one for each card!)

Hugs!

International Inkers - woohooo
