Boo!

Eek! I had a holiday card making marathon last weekend and this spooky Jack-o-lantern card came out of it. 

I love this guy's big eerie grin! He's from the Fun Stampers Journey Trick or Treat stamp set. 

Lots of goodies went into this card to make all these luscious layers and texture. Notice the dry embossing on the Tangerine Fusion card stock? I used the Splash Embossing Folder for that which kind of looks like the bumps on some of those fancy bumpy pumpkins.

That cool spider web was created with one of the Holiday Window Box Plate dies...also great for accenting cards! What do you think? Makes me want to make some more Halloween cards! Stay tuned...

How about another Halloween card share for this 21st day of October? When I received my first Scraptastic Club kit, it included a set of 'Thriller' stamps created by Kaitlin Sheaffer. Eek! This is a Fang-tastic set! 

(Buy Now $4.99)

I love the way the pumpkin face has separate eyes and mouth stamps so I could use just the eyes and then add a mini bat for Jack's mouth. Hmmm...that bat kind of looks like he's got a mustache! ;)

Boo!

Boo!

Did I scare you? Okay, so my little ghost isn't the scariest of Halloween spooks! :)

Yesterday I posted a summertime card and today it's Halloween. I guess that's what happens when we're a couple days away from the official start of fall.

I couldn't wait until I got my Design Team box from Bella Blvd. to start having fun with their collections! And I didn't have to because the last time I was at Archivers, I picked up some of the 'Too Cute to Spook' goodies. Look at these fabulously colorful and fun Halloween prints!

This conversation bubble is part of the sticker sheet in the collection. I thought it would look cool to add a button.

This little ghost is a Silhouette die cut. I couldn't leave him alone either...I added the bow! Maybe that's why he has that shocked look on his face!

This lovely spider was at the bottom corner of this orange patterned paper and I made sure he made it onto my card!

Oh, if you stopped in yesterday I mentioned that I have been trying some new recipes on my boys! Thank goodness a lot of the recipes I find on Pinterest are good ones or the boys might not be so cooperative!

This is a very simple dish called Pasta with Shredded Chicken and Rosemary. It's just that! Well, and a bit of Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. It got a thumbs up!

This recipe is perfect for any left over chicken or rotisserie bird you pick up on the way home. I cooked some chicken in six minutes on the George Foreman grill...so that's another option! As for the rosemary, we have a large bush in our yard...what could be more simple?

A final note about this recipe...it calls for 2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary. Since I think fresh rosemary is quite fragrant, I used one tablespoon and it had plenty of rosemary flavor. Anyway, this is a perfect dish to experiment with so enjoy!
