Your first stop on the hop is Terra, you should have come to me from Lyneen, and your next stop is Rebecca.

It is also time for a mid-way reminder for Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenges and this fortnight it is all about the Pumpkins! Whether you like them carved for Halloween or in a pie for Thanksgiving, we want to see them! Our sponsors for this challenge are Bugaboo Stamps, Oak Pond Creations, Robyn's Fetish and Sentimental Susan.

I have used the Bugaboo Stamps image Skelekinz Cupcake for this card and used pumpkin patterned paper for my background. The image is coloured with Promarkers and I've iced the cupcake using Cosmic Shimmer glue covered with Black Soot Distress Ink for sparkle! The sentiment is from Create with TLC and the pumpkin border is a Spellbinders die.

Today's challenge is to create a treat bag of sorts for Halloween. My treat bag started life as a brown lunch bag from a pack of ten at the Home Bargains shop! I have used the FrankenCutie Helen image and coloured her with Promarkers. I fussy cut her and mounted her on orange DP and black card.

The papers are from MME Blackbird 12x12 sheets that I think I got from Betty last year in a Haloween type kit! The die cuts are all from the Silhouette Studio on black card to stand out against the colours.

31 DOH Day #17 A Poe Altered Coaster with Smeared Ink

Welcome to Day #17 of 31 Days of Halloween! I hope you are enjoying the festivities! Thank you for all the wonderful comments! You can find the blog roll in my side bar. Your first stop on the hop is Terra, you should have come to me from Lyneen, and your next stop is Rebecca. Remember to comment on all the blogs on the hop for a chance to win at the end of the month and keep in mind the Scavenger Hunt for daily prizes!

Today is the 3rd of 5 Smeared Ink Friday's during this Halloween Hop! We have been challenged to use Smeared Ink stamps on each of the Friday's and so far I have done just that. Today I have used the 'Quoth The Raven' rubber set which I won last year I think during the Creepmas hop. I was looking for some tags in my stash and found a pack of chipboard 'Coasters/BeerMats' and figured, that will do! They look to be about 4x4" and a good thickness. I covered both sides in papers from MME Lost&Found Halloween pad. On the front I stamped the 'Quoth The Raven', 'Nevermore' and book quote stamps in black Archival ink and heat embossed with a black detail powder. I've then edged the mat in Black Soot DI.

The Raven on the front and collage stamp on the back were stamped onto white card. The raven is coloured using distress ink pads and glued into place. The collage was heat embossed and then the whiteness removed by covering in Vintage Photo DI. I rounded the corners before gluing onto the coaster edging this side in Vintage Photo and Black Soot. As a finishing touch, I used Triple Thick glaze applied with a brush round the edges of the coaster and dipped this into Black Soot Distress Glitter for sparkle!

31 DOH Day #16 - A Fat Page

Welcome to Day #16 of 31 Days of Halloween! Over Half Way There!!! I hope you are enjoying the festivities! Thank you for all the wonderful comments! You can find the blog roll in my side bar. Your first stop on the hop is Terra, you should have come to me from Lyneen, and your next stop is Rebecca. Remember to comment on all the blogs on the hop for a chance to win at the end of the month and keep in mind the Scavenger Hunt for daily prizes!

Today I have for you a Fat Page! I signed up a few months back for Kapree's Fat Page swap over at the Smeared and Smudged forums and am loving creating these pages - you've already seen one earlier this month, today I have front and back of another page!

I have cut down purple pearlescent card to 6x6" for the base. I cut a skulls&stripes background from black card on my Cameo, mounted onto an orange batty halloween paper for the front of the page. The image is 'The Eater' from Just Some Lines coloured with Promarkers. The sentiment is from Create with TLC and the spider motif is also a cut file. I've finished with some purple ribbons/fibers from my stash.

The back is covered with a green and purple paper from Bo Bunny's Fright Delight paper pad and a couple of web borders from the Silhouette store. The image here, I am delighted to say, was a blog candy prize from Susana's Custom Art and Card Designs (SCACD) which I discovered thanks to Alex who you will meet further down the blog hop. This is a Skully Cupcake, coloured with Promarkers and glittered using various colours of Stickles. I fussy cut the image, mounted onto a die cut circle and added a '31' 'paperclip' - cut on the cameo - and some glittery embellishments from K&Co I believe.

I am entering the Just Some Lines Fat Page in the following challenges -

Ugly Paper challenge at Crafting by Designs

Scroll down for 31DOH Day #14 post and day #15 will be here in a few hours!

Today is Wednesday and that means a new weekly challenge for Crafting by Designs. This one had me stumped. I chose myself a Halloween Bat image from Eureka Stamps and figured I would make a Halloween project. And then I remembered the theme - UGLY Paper! To me there is no such thing as ugly Halloween paper but I figure there will be plenty who wont like the bats and spiders on my creations! (We would really like you to dig deep in your stash and find that sheet of paper that you hate and finally use it!)

My project for today are two little Halloween treat boxes. I must thank Lisa for her 31DOH Day #4 post which linked up to a video of how to make these boxes - Lisa's were fabulous and I had to have a go! I have used two 6x6 papers from Bo Bunny and added the bat digi image and some sentiments from my stash, along with ribbons to finish.

thanks for looking!
