Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge - Halloween!

Happy Sunday, everyone. My thoughts and prayers with those who lost loved ones ten years ago, 9/11/01. I am praying for you and for all of the military and those who work to keep the United States the Land of the Free, Home of the Brave. God Bless America.

It's time for another fun Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge! The theme this week is Halloween! I love making cards for Halloween :)

For this card, I used DCWV Ghosts and Goblins stack. You can't tell in the pic, but I added Glossy Accents to the Absinthe and Witches Brew bottles. I cut the window from the October 31 cart and then cut holes in the paper with my X-acto knife for the window panes. I used clear plastic behind the window and attached it with foam tape for dimension. I used foam tape behind and adhered the moon paper from DCWV Immortal Love and the witch, also from October 31. The spider web hanging off the bottom of the window is also from October 31 and the adorable spider sticker is from my sweet friend Becky! Thanks Becky!! I used a Cuttlebug die for the tag and attached it with Hobby Lobby ribbon. The sentiment is from the new K Andrew Designs FALL-O-WEEN stamp set!

Aren't these fabulous?! They are my new favorites (although I say that about all the stamps :) They are mix and match so the possibilities are endless!

Happy Thursday, everyone! This is a quick post so I can beat a deadline! I missed this challenge last week so I want to make sure I'm in time :)

The paper is from The Paper Studio's Deja Blue stack. I used a Fiskars punch for the border. I cut the tag from Elegant Edges. It had one flourish and I used my Gypsy to add a flourish on the other side. I inked all the edges with Tim Holtz Walnut Distress Ink. The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby. The stamps are from K Andrews Design's Amazing You set. Click HERE to purchase your own set!

I used the sketch from this week's Die Cutting Divas for the design of the card.
