I love halloween time but just wish us Aussies would celebrate it like they do in the USA.
Here is the card I made for this challenge.
The Bat bear stamp was coloured using Copic Markers and is from a the halloween range at Hookedoncraft
I used my martha stewart punch around the page cobweb punch and cobweb embossing folder.
I cut out the letters and spider from the Happy Haunting cricut cartridge.
I just love the way the bat bear looks like he's flying out from the card.
The Mulbery paper waterlily flowers, rosebuds and trinket pin are from Hookedoncraft
I coloured the white flowers and berry head stamens with glimmer mist to get the right shade I needed.

Hookedoncrafts 9th challenge "Anything but a card"
Its challenge time again over at Hookedoncraft! The challenge this fortnight at HOOKEDONCRAFT CHALLENGES is "ANYTHING BUT A CARD!"
I got a little excited and couldn't just stop at one creation so I made a few things!
Here is the group shot.
CHARM BRACELET
BAG CHARM
I used the Cute puppy small and Large stamps from HOOKEDONCRAFT I stamped the images onto frosted shrink plastic using Stazon ink and carefully coloured the images with Copic markers being careful to not touch the ink lines. I also used some of the new charms from the Misc pack which I got from HOOKEDONCRAFT
I used a range of swarovski crystal beads, ladybug beads, other beads, chain and findings from my stash to create the charm bracelet and bag charm.
HAIRCLIP
HEADBAND
I created the hairclip and headband using a range of Mulberry paper flowers and berry head stamens from HOOKEDONCRAFT
I used my glimmer mists to alter the colour of the leaves, flowers and berry head stamens to get the exact colour I wanted. I used hot glue to glue the flowers onto the metal hairclip base and headband base. I also used some swarovski pointy back crystals for the centre of the flowers which I got from my stash. I finished it off with a touch of stickles on the edges of the flowers and leaves because you can never have too much bling!
I made all these as gifts for a good friend Katrina who lives in the USA and has recently sent me a heap of parcels full of Mickey mouse and winnie the pooh baby clothes for our twin babies which are due in approx 2 months. I hope she doesn't see this post before she receives her parcel!

Hookedoncrafts 8th challenge "Ribbon & Lace"
Another busy fortnight has come and gone! The challenge this fortnight at HOOKEDONCRAFT CHALLENGES is "RIBBON AND LACE!"
I decided to make a front stepper card and I got the template from HERE
The Elephant with bird stamp was coloured using Copic Markers and is from a new upcoming range at Hookedoncraft
The Mulbery paper flowers and Charms are from Hookedoncraft
I used a Martha Stewart punch around the page to create the square layers and then laced ribbon through the gaps. I attached the charms with jumprings with a little bit of chain and linked it to the ribbon bow. The green swirls underneath the flowers are cut using my cricut and the Cricut cartridge "Straight from the nest"
I coloured the lace with glimmer mist to get the right shade I needed.
I made the ticket myself and coloured and stickled the edges.

I have had this idea for quite some time and finally got around to making it happen. I used my Cricut Gypsy to edit an image from the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge and I used my Cricut expression to cut it out.
