Happy Whoo-lloween!

Inspired by the colours in this weeks Dynamic Duos - and with a name like that how could I resist including The Alley Way Stamps Ghoul-Friend bat in my Halloween Theme LOL!  A perfect theme for black & white plus one at CAS-ual Fridays too!

The closest I had to Lucky Limeade was my Shabby Shutters Distress Ink, which I layered to create a die-cut full moon.  I stamped  The Alley Way Stamps Ghoul-Friend and Cover Ups spider webs and spider, and the Crazy Critters owl in Versamark Embossing Ink and clear embossed them on black cardstock - I love the contrast between the glossy clear and the matt black.  The owls branch is part of the Memory Box Tall Birch die-cut, and these gorgeous letters are from Lily Bee Design Double Dutch Collection.

Herd You're Moovin'...

Inspired by this weeks fab Retro Sketch, and the Simon Says Stamp Animal Antics and Little Red Wagons Dog Days of Summer, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to use this gorgeous mini moo cow from The Alley Way Stamps Cover-Ups - the perfect size to create a herd!  Thank goodness TAWS stamps are so versatile too - I was able to stamp my sentiment even though my Alphabet Soup is playing hide-and-seek, by using "heard you're" from Kitchen Gadgets, "Moov" from Get MOOvin, and "in" from Chatterbox.

TAWS Blog Hop - WIN 3 sets of stamps!

Had to have a BUNNY card for the TAWS blog HOP!  Don't you just LOVE this cute little guy from the The Alley Way Stamps Cover Ups set, seen here with Alphabet Soup sentiment.  Love the gorgeous green Echo Park paper too.  I hand cut the letters with a craft knife using the chipboard letters from Scenic Route as a template - you can achieve a similar effect by printing a template on the computer using Berkley or a similar block letter font. Broke out my washi tapes for the first time - the checks were a freebie with a magazine, but I think there will be some more washi on my wishi list!!!

Bee my Honey...

Couldn't resist using The Alley Way Stamps new Cover Ups hexagon stamp for the Hooked on Hexagon Challenge over at Moxie Fab World, Paper Crafts Shaped Card Challenge and Shaping Up Blog Hop & Give Away.  Papers are a combination of Bo Bunny and  Echo Park, stamped with sentiment from Alphabet Soup and Chatterbox, with the little bee from ei-ei-o.  Used the neat trick of laying down a glue line to create my bee trail using The Twinery Stone twine.

Hope you had a FAB weekend!
