Happy Halloween!! Hope everyone is enjoying their trick or treaters this evening. We get 2 trick or treaters, my sister and her friend that's it.
My sister loves pirates so I made her a pirate halloween card. The little pirate on the scallop circle and the Arrrrr are rubons that I bought last year at a after halloween clearance sale. The middle strip is a SU wheel that I colored in. My sister was thrilled with the card.
My sister's friend's brother is going through a rough time right now, actually that whole family is. I made this card for the family to let them know I'm thinking of them and to let the brother know to hang in there better days are ahead. The the base of the card and mat is SU Chocolate Chip and all the other paper is from CTMH. The image of the monkey I received as blog candy awhile back and the the saying was done on my printer. The saying in the picture looks crooked but on the card in real life it's not, I swear. I keep looking at the card and even had Jeff check it.

This weeks Sunday Scrappin challenge is to use up some of your ribbon stash. Make a border, make a bow... it's up to you, but let's see some ribbon on this week's projects! This will be an easy one I have loads of ribbon.
* If your into photography be sure to check out my photography blog I have come across a lot of fantastic and interesting photography memes http://theworldthroughchrissyslens.blogspot.com/ *
This weeks challenge at Crafty Creations (formerly known as SBS18 Challenges) is a Dog/Puppy theme. Anyone who knows me or reads my blog knows I have a yellow lab dog named Buddy that I'm head over heals for (you can see pictures of him on my picture blog here). When I saw this challenge I knew I had to play along. 
Santa Paws - I had this stamp in my stash for awhile and when I open the dog/cat stamp draw the light bulb lite up with this card idea. The paper is also from my stash if I recall correctly I think I got it from a swap awhile back. The Santa hat is from SU Cold Play stamp set I stamped it then cut it then adhered it to the dog. The white fur parts of the hat are done with snow writer (love that stuff). The little candy cane is a Jolee sticker from my stash also. 
You ever have one of those images that just scream use certain colors on me and you can't get past that and every card is in those colors? That's what happened here. This little cutie screams pink and blue to me. The image is from SCS WishRak group.
The first card is actual for the Saturday Sketch challenge. #21 The white parts on the girls jacket and snowballs and ground where done using snow writer . The snowman was done using Glistening Snow Writer (which is more creamy dimensional glue) http://www.decoart.com/cgi-bin/Products.cgi?Snow_Writer The snowflakes are embossed with the cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder. (you can click any of the photos to make them bigger to see the detail).
