..A Not so Freaky Friday...

....and for me it's a fun Friday, as I am creating some cute new Halloween Cards, all of which were first inspired by a new challenge sketch from "Fusion".  

    It reminded me that I had pretty much forgot all about Halloween this year, at least in my card-making and have already moved into Christmas!   But, today after seeing the challenge image and peeking at the calender, I was quickly reminded that Halloween is only a week away!  Another month that has flown by....

     I also admit now that my boys are grown, I do forget about the "kid" side of Halloween, which is the fun and happy side and to be honest, the only thing I like about it.  I'm not a fan of any of the scary of creepy side of Halloween, and that you'll see in all of my cards today!   I also don't mail out many Halloween cards, so I really only needed a few --- One for both the kids and one for my Mom!

     I'm starting with the card I created for Brian & Meghan, and this adorable Bugaboo image 'screams" Meghan to me, because she LOVES "Candy Corn".  YUK! if you ask me, but it's her favorite candy and when I was out in San Diego visiting, she bought her first "fix" of the season one day while we were out shopping!  LOL!  It makes me smile to think of her anytime I see Candy Corn. She is the only person I know, who loves this candy so much!

  Oh, and speaking of both Halloween and Bugaboo Stamps, they currently have all their adorable digi images on sale!    Happy Shopping!

   

  The next two cards are also cards that I created using more of my favorite digi stamps, all from Bugaboo, which happens to be one of my favorite places to shop for whimsical stamps!  Love them!!

  All of these cuties were color with Copics and also highlighted with a combo of Wink of Stella markers, 3d crystal lacquer and some very sparkly glitter!   All of the fum little sentiments I used today are from a set by Lori Boyd that I bought a part of a special when she first sold them along with her adorable "digi stamps" at By Lori Designs!   

   My last card of the day is the card that 'started' me on my Halloween mode and was based on the current "Inspiration" image from the new challenge at Fusion!    This is a copy of that image and as you will see in my card -- I combined both the Sketch and the Photo together to make my card.

     It turned out to be a fun (and not freaky) Friday for me and I'm so happy that I pulled out my "Halloween" stash and to put together all these "Happy Halloween" cards!   ENJOY!!
