22 Days...

Today, I am one step closer to finally using up all of the estate sale buttons.  I've got a long ways to go still, but one step is better than none.


I'm not really the biggest fan of the color scheme I chose for this card, but it took me out of my comfort zone which is always something I look to do, and it turned out good enough for me.  I've been feeling like I'm in a bit of a Halloween rut as of late so I thought trying something different might spark the creative spirit again.

This spooky card was extra fun for me to make because this color combination is one of my favorites for the Halloween season.  I love the contrast the purple, green, and black create.  It's very witches-brew-esque.

My favorite part of the card is the green puff paint on the green paper.  It makes the paper look dimensional with the monochromatic scheme.

 It's that time of year again, my favorite year in fact, and I'm so excited!  I'm starting off with this funky (and extremely heavy weight-wise) card.  That spider and cauldron are metal and suspiciously hefty.  I used a bunch of bits and pieces I had from Halloween cards past and I love how it turned out.  

I swear these felt skulls I bought a couple years ago are going to haunt me for forever because just when I think I'm about done with them I find more.  I've always wanted a good ghost story, but this one isn't good so much as sad.

28 Days...

The countdown to my favorite Holiday continues with this cute little card.  It's not as spooky as some of my other efforts, but it's perfect for some of my more wholesome friends.


You may notice the large amount of buttons and that is because, as is becoming a theme on this blog, I am STILL getting through the button stash.  At least this card really put a bit more of a dent in the situation than others.  I also used a bunch of scrap paper and helped clear up a bit of that bin as well.

This should hopefully be the last bad camera photo that I put up for this month.  I don't know what got into my phone, but I think it's done throwing a tantrum now.

I wish you could see the glitter aspect of the "boo" better. I used a lot of different textures and elements for this card and yet somehow I think they all come together nicely.


I unfortunately used only scraps and random bits whose origins have been lost to time so there are no identifiably elements.

Once again my phone camera isn't doing this card justice, but it's good enough.

I really enjoy using funky colors for these types of cards and these leftover bits I found in my stash really give me room to play.


I also was a bit of a cheeky lady and sent this to one of my chemistry friends hoping they'd appreciated the apothecary type theme.

 Today's card feels surprisingly whimsical despite the large dark skull gracing the front of it.


Once again, I got to use some embossing powder which I think looks pretty cool with the other raised and textured elements in the design.  I'm using up scraps and still creating pretty pieces that I'm very proud of.  So far this October Halloween countdown has been very productive!

The Halloween card I have for today was once again a very quick one to piece together, but it definitely still fits with the spooky theme of the month!

I'm starting to realize that I don't have quite as many Halloween sentiment stamps as I thought I had and I might need to remedy that soon...


There aren't too many bits that I can identify on this card though I do know that the trees came from an unknown Stampin' Up! subscription box from years ago that I don't know how to accurately list below.  Otherwise enjoy the following list of one.

The countdown continues with this funky Halloween card!  It's mostly all made of scraps and other pieces I've had sitting around for far too long.

I'm trying to experiment more with color and try to branch out of the traditional Halloween colors for some of these.  It's mostly an excuse for me to keep from going completely orange and black insane under the guise of creativity.

This Halloween card was really exciting for me to make because it's the first time in a long time that I've broken out the embossing powder.  I forgot how much I love watching it gild itself under the heat gun.

I started out by just cutting the background triangles out of some of my Halloween paper, then the rest just unfolded from there.  The scissors I used for all of my cutting were also old ones that my mom used to use way back when our family first got hit with the scrapbooking bug.  Between them and the embossing powder I really felt transported back to that time.

It's that time of year again, my favorite time of all, SPOOKY SEASON!  I'm kicking off this Halloween countdown with a fun little pumpkin duo.

I mostly aimed to use up some scraps when I designed this card, but I absolutely love how it turned out so I might try to emulate it in the future with what scraps I can scrounge up.


I of course made sure to have bling in my design because we all know by now that I can't live without it but I like that it doesn't completely distract from the other elements.

I'm looking forward to bringing the spooky feel the rest of this month!

For the next three days since it's finally Halloween week I've decided to post some of the cards I've made for my department.  I am attaching candy to all of them and leaving them on their desks for a happy Halloween surprise!



I've had a lot of this Halloween themed paper and embellishments for quite some time but unfortunately I don't have very many photos from Halloween to use them with.  These cards are a good way for me to use some of my favorite spooky things and know that some one will appreciate them!
