12 Kits of Occasions October '17: Boo to You!
Happy Halloween Greetings! It's the day before the spooking begins, and
12 Kits of Occasions is bringing you October's post today.
This month I'm the hostess, and I had such a good time putting together a not too frightful
kit for all my teammies.
Thanks to Lindsey, our resident genius when it comes to photographing a bit of
everything included in the kit. Mwah!
No time to waste, hope your cuppa is handy, I have a ton to show you!
Let's start with some brew from Frantic Stamper to kick things off.
By the way, if anything catches your eye, there's a list of products used in the kit
on the 12 Kits blog.
It truly is 'All About the Candy'
Not too long ago Marybeth used this boxcard die from Reverse Confetti on one of her projects.
Had to have it, and loved adding some of the designer papers to decorate it. The haunted town
die cut was included in the kit.
Funny story, my teenage granddaughter is afraid of spiders, which always seem to show up in our
house when she's visiting. Guess who got this card for Halloween? 'Grandma, you're so mean!'
You have to have a shaker in the lineup. The die's from Memory Box.
Kept this card simple to showcase this trio from Impression Obsession.
Does anyone really eat candy corn? But it's like the symbol of Halloween!
I think I used this stamp and die set from Poppystamps more than any other this season.
They are just so darn cute!
Still with me? My last (I promise!) card uses puff paint (Tsukineko Neon Amplify)
to give my pumpkins some dimension.
And that's it for this hostess. Hope you enjoyed it. And hope you visit each and every
teammie and leave some love on their blogs.
I have a prize to give one winner of our drawing, so don't forget to comment!
Hugs, and Happy Halloween!

PTI's Create Along With Us
I'm creating along with Nichole, with this Halloween card
patterned after her gorgeous watercolor.
She embossed, in white, the stars from a new set,
watercolored over it, and affixed the new, Let It Snow die over the stars.
I wanted to do a Halloween card, so
I found some stars in a set called Happy Spooky Halloween.
Tricky Trio Die furnished the script.
Love that we get to gleen from the 'Masters'!

Waltzingmouse October PJ Party: Bed Time Story, Sketch Challege
Last Challenge for WM's PJ Party!
This sketch
Followed it rather loosely with this card
Just don't know how you could use the Big Owl set and NOT get compliments!
He's fabulous! Perfect fall addition.
Anyway, with 11 grandkids, this goes to one of them, probably a boy.
Happy Halloween all!

The Card Concept #20 - Color Challenge
The Card Concept's challenge is to use orange, black and white
this week.
Here's their inspiration photo:
It's Halloween time folks, and these colors emphasize
fall's holiday season.
Waltzingmouse stamp sets: Boo and Friends & Great Big Owl helped
create this chalkboard card.
Little Boo is embossed on vellum (he's a ghost after all!), with
paperpieced lolly and pumpkin
All cardstock PTI
Freestyle Collage
My husband and I spent the week at the coast, where we enjoyed
great weather, and an Apple Farm with more pumpkins I've EVER seen in
one place.
Took these photos with my phone.
The farm was tucked into the hills, and sold every good thing the earth produced.
They even had a petting zoo for children.
One or two last photos to enjoy.
Do you like stopping at little farms and getting lost in
their bounty? I make my DH pull over at every one we see.
Hope you enjoyed a bit of the beauty of Autumn!

MIM #183: Dry Embossing Over Heat Embossing
Happy Monday!
And Happy MIM with Dawn at PapertreyInk!
This technique is really very simple, and packs a wow punch to your cards!
Finishing up the Halloween cards for the grandkids +
some children of friends.
This was a perfect set of tools for quick cards.
After embossing the ghosts and sentiment,
dry embossed Horizontal Stripes (yes, Horizontal!) to mimic a fence.
Partially cutout the top ghost so the ghost border would fit behind him.
Embossed (with Zing) 2 more borders to look like crime tape.
(Think I watch too many murder mysteries!)
All onto Orange Zest leafy Pattern Paper.
Lots of rainstones sprinkled about.
Thank You Dawn, as always, love every moment watching and learning from you!
Happy Spooky Halloween & Haunted Borders

Waltzingmouse Pajama Party: Doodle Do
Good evening Waltzingmouse fans!
Got your pjs on?
4 Challenges for us tonight.
1st Challenge: Doodle Do
Great Big Owl had my heart the moment I saw him!
Embossed in white and ink sponged with Tim Holtz Distressed inks.
Doodling part?
I used the branch as a starting point, and 'doodled' a wreath around the owl,
then went back and added silver gel pen.
Rather fun, and very therapeutic!
