CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #145- hosted by Pamela

  

My first  Halloween card for this year.

I  love making Halloween cards.  All those wonderful images just cry out to be used.  The yellow background card is from Hunkydory.  The wonderful Cheshire Cat with the pumpkins is a digital image from 'Halloween in Wonderland' from Etsy.

I added the Moon from Kate Hadfield's 'Whatever the Weather' and, to the Moon, I have added one of Beccy's witches from 'Witching Hour'.   The spooky sentiment also comes from Beccy's 'Witching Hour'.

The orange, yellow and black borders were added using my ACDSee graphics.

As well as being a teamie on CD Sunday Plus I also belong to several card and ATC swapping groups each with an annual Halloween list. I will show you some of those after Halloween but now I want to show you a special Halloween card that I have made for the two youngsters that are my neighbours.  They have just had birthday cards from me but this one will be a surprise first.

I had such fun making this one.  The hollow forest tree is an image downloaded from somewhere.  All the rest are digital images from the many sets I have purchased since I decided to investigate using digital images.  I am so glad I took the plunge to add that to stitching, decoupage, die-cutting etc etc.

I am looking forward to seeing many more Halloween Cards  - as much as I know my fellow teamie Pamela is.  I actually think she is nuttier than I am about Halloween.

Take care 

and Boo til we meet again.

CD Sunday Plus Challenge #144

 It is my turn to be your hostess for this challenge and I have a special card to share with you:

I made this card for my young neighbour - Marcus.  He is a delightful young man and I enjoy making cards for him and all of his family.  We were so lucky when they moved in next door. They are wonderful neighbours.

The card is from Carnation Crafts using my favourite meeces.  Aren't they fun?  I think I now have all the dies for all the meeces - including the ones for Halloween which I will be using very soon.

I found a background of some wooden planks for the meeces to stand the ladder against.  The letters for 'Marcus' are die cuts (not sure from whom I purchased those) and the No:7 is a peel-off.

Marcus has his birthday later this month but his sister Emily has already had hers - on the 4th.  

 I hope all are well and I look forward to lots of visits to your blogs.

 Hugs
