Happy Halloween--Not so Scarey Style

I thought I would share a cute image from Just Inklined with you to celebrate Halloween today!!!

I used some fun Halloween saying dp as a backdrop for this cute  Scarecrow Not from Just Inklined.  I love the MS goo border punch which I embellished with orange stickles to accentuate the goo. 

A narrow band or black ribbon on the goo band in the middle adds a little more seasonal fun without detracting from the image and the busyness of the dp. I added a glittery corner cobweb from Michaels in orange and a large orange button tied into the black ribbon on the center goo band.

Hoping you all have a wonderful Halloween and have a safe a fun time with the kids.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful creative day.

Time for Halloween Images--Just Inklined

I was so pleased when Just Inklined came up with some new Halloween images this week and couldn't wait to color some up. The first one I colored was this cute witch called Endora:

I colored her with copic markers and then traced a moon around her so she could be flying up in the Halloween night sky.  The sky was airbrushed. 

I found this wonderful dp pack on sale at Michael's last week and just in time for all my Halloween creations this year. The web photo corner piece is perfect for my card along with the punched bats.  I added a Caution tag which is a pack from Recollections especially for Halloween. 
Be sure to check out all of the other new images Just Inklined has for Halloween just posted for you yesterday.  They are awesome.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to stop by the Just Inklined Blog for more DT inspiration daily.

Cute little Wizard James--Just Inklined Freebie

I know we all love free anything but free images are always welcome, especially when they are as beautiful and detailed as the images for sale.  Last week's free image at Just Inklined  was James the little Wizard.  Here is what I created with the image:

James was colored with copic markers and framed with a Spellbinder scalloped Frame.  The frog in the lower right corner is a Cuttlekids frog.

The rest of the design is fairlly simple. green and white layers with a green check ribbon and three green buttons in the upper left corner.James has a sister named Jenny if you want a female version of this image.  Just Inklined just offered another awesome skull freebie today for this week.  I think I may catch up one of these days.  They also offered up a bunch of new images on the website and they are awesome.

Thanks for stopping by,

Riley and Company Sneak Peek #2 Fall and Halloween Release

How did you like all the Riley and Company sneak peeks today?  Weren't they awesome.  What a great bunch of Riley's there are in this release.   Here is my FrankeRiley:

FrankeRiley isn't too scarey, I think he is kinda cute!!!  I colored him with copic markers and sponged the outside edge he black label die behind Franke is over stamped with white skeltons.  The same skelton stamp was used to overstamp the black rick rack on the left side of the card.
The black rick rack was topped with a narrow black loop edged ribbon from my stash.  The black polka dot flower in the upper right corner is topped with a button center and over the button I put a halloween brad on top of that after I cut off the brad posts.
The dp is some cool halloween dp I got at Archivers on my budget busting spending spree last week LOL. It was so fun though.
Thanks for stopping by to see my new sneak peek and be sure to check out the rest of the DT blogs to see what they have to show you as well.  Only two more days to the Blog Hop and the new Release stamps will be available.

Have a great day.

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge--Use a Spellbinder die!!

The challenge this week at the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge is to use a Spellbinder's die, thanks for another great challenge Jodi..  I have just a couple. LOL, so combined a couple to show off this pumpkin head called Almost Headless Horseman:

The challenge is to use Spellbinder Dies,  I used 3 different ones. The Scalloped Rectangles which are the main image and orange background die cut.  The scalloped petite border dies, which are the purple and orange with the ribbon at the base of the image.
The image is colored with copic markers and I loved this dp I picked up at Michael's last week.  Mounted them on black cs and added some black antique buttons, a trio of MS punched bats and my not so spooky card is complete.
As always Sassy Cheryl has been busy creating a bunch of new images for you, and they are awesome, so many for Halloween and Christmas, Santas, Snowmen and a Lamb that has my name written all over it.
The DT has created some awesome projects for you to see this week and now that things have slowed down and the kids are back in school, take a few minutes to play along with our challenge and you might be the lucky winner of the 5 dollar gift certificate...

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day.

Just Inklined Halloween Challenge

Are you ready for the Spooky and not so Spooky images of Halloween as created by Just Inklined?  Here is what I created using Frank and Penny Monster:

Penny Monster is so happy her daddy Franke dressed up for Halloween to go Trick or Treating with her.  She loves Halloween because no one is afraid of her sweet Daddy on Halloween, he looks normal.

Halloween is my favorite holiday and I love to see all the little kids dressed up.  I couldn't decide which of the Just Inklined characters to use so I merged them into one image for my card.  I used some spider infested dp in the eerie Halloween color of ghoulish green LOL.  The contrasting black details add just the right touch, the black goo dripping from the top, the black flowers and the spider sentiment saying Boo!!!  I tore the dp for the black band in the middle, a couple of buttons and Penny Monster and Franke are ready to drop by your house BWAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Be sure to check out the rest of the DT members blogs to see what wonderful image they used to create this special Halloween Challenge.  We would love to have you play along by going to the Just Inkilined website and grabbing (very carefully) the mummy image which is free for you to use, or choose from one of the other awesome iamges waiting for your Halloween creations.

Just Inklined -- Rest in Pee....?

Just Inklined has created a dozen new Halloween images this week and they are awesome!!! When I saw this image, called Rest in Pee,  I knew I had to have it, I can't help it I  like humorous cards and images :)  Here is my card:

Isn't this a hoot!!!  The image was colored with copic markers and the outside edge was sponed with distresss ink.
The dp is some single sheets I picked up at Michael's last week-end and I thought it was perfect for the colors in the image. 
I resisted the MS bat punch as long as Ii could but when I went to Archivers today it just fell in my basket and I'm glad it did because I love it on this image.The black flowers are rolled paper flowers and the green foliage is a MS punch.  The sentiment was computer generated, punched with a SU circle punch and mounted on a black scalloped circle punch also from SU.
Be sure to check out the new Halloween images at Just Inklined so you will be ready to play along with the Hallween Challenge on Monday September 13. 
Catch you all later.  Having a fun play day today :)

Buttons and Bows--Just Inklined September Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the September Blog Hop for Just Inklined!!!  If you are arriving here from the mega talented Peri Hill's blog you are in the right place.  If not you should go back to Toni's blog and start at the beginning, you don't want to miss a single project this awesome group of DT members has created for your viewing pleasure.  The theme for the Blog Hop is:  Buttons and Bows.  I have two projects to show you...it is so hard to choose a single image because there are so many to choose from.  Here are my projects:

I gave the Wishing Well a bit of a Vintage feel with the Tim Holtz mask, the strand of faux pearls and the aged ribbon.  The buttons in the upper right corner are from my Grandfather's button collection.

My next Buttons and Bows project showcases the newest freebie offered on the Just Inklined homepage.  Mummy is just perfect for the Halloween cards  you will be needing soon.  It is a big, fun, holiday here is the US.  Here is Mummy:

This was a fast card to create as there isn;t too much to coloring a Mummy LOL,  The image was punched out with the scalloped die cut and a Martha Steward spider web border punch was used to created the spiderweb ribbon backdrop under the main image.  I chose a teal polka dot ribbon ribbon to tie my key. The buttons are the 3 in the lower left hand corner and the dragonfly is a button as well.  Three dew drops in the upper right corner and my card is complete with buttons and bows.

I feel so honored the DT chose me as one of the Guest Designers for September and I am having a ball creating with the Just Inklined images.  Next blog on your Hop is the super talented Jak

Make sure you check out all of the DT projects and check out the Just Inklined store for all of the wonderful images available.  There is something for everybody!!!

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day!!!
