#225 Team Jacob Card + The Hot Blog Hop WINNER!!!

Hi everyone! Thank you all soooo much for stopping by my blog everyday to leave awesome comments on each Jacob post, it means the world to me!!! I made this Team Jacob card for Chloe (Jacob's Owner) and to add it in his super cool luggage (below). I had fun making this card I used Everyday Paper Dolls for the Jacob doll and Pumpkin Carving cart for the wolf and moon silhouette. I used my Tim Holtz Type set die in my Cuttlebug for the letters. I stamped the face with Peachy Keen Stamps. I had my hubby draw a 6 pack on Jacob eventhough he really didn't want to LOL! I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone he drew it haha, promises are meant to be broken sometimes LOL! Just don't tell my honey I told you!

I am so sad to see Jacob and Clippy the Koala leave me, how dare you!!! LOL!! Well at least I will get to see Jacob again on November 18th when I go see breaking Dawn woo-hoo!! hopefully he takes his shirt off again so I can see his hotness LOL!! I really enjoyed having Jacob visit me these last 2 weeks, he was such a helper and we even did some fun stuff like Trick or Treating and taking a trip to a Corn Maze! Jacob and Clippy are welcome back in my home anytime!!!! Jacob and clippy are packed and ready to leave Southern California for a much cooler climate in Illinois where they will be going next to http://coolbeansbylb.blogspot.com/ house, so be sure to check out L.B.'s blog in the next week or so to see how Jacob will be helping her out! L.B. I really hope you enjoy having this hot scrappy assistant in your home, I sure did eventhough I think my hubby was a little jealous, and my son thought he was getting new toys LOL!!

Happy Halloween everyone!! I hope you guys are having lots of fun, it seems like everyone is celebrating Halloween on all 3 days it's so much fun! I just wanted to share with you guys a quick post of the pumpkins my son and I carved last week which I kept forgetting to post. Both images were cut from the Pumpkin Carvings cartridge at 8 inches. I cut it on computer paper then I taped the cut out template on the pumpkin and the rest is history. It's so cut because my little 3 year old soon chose this pumpkin face, I asked him 3 different times and everytime he said "That" and pointed, awwh my baby is growing up so fast. We've been carving pumpkins every year since he was born, and this is the first time he chose his pumpkin design!
Here is my sad sad pumpkin =(    I assure you it looked so awesome, but I don't know what was wrong with me that day and I forgot to take pics of the pumpkins finale, I didn't take the pics until they were rotting, mine is a spooky tree with a graveyard, also from Pumpkin Carvings!

LOL you can even see the mold and the pumkin juices dripping out YUCK it was a mess, and for some reason only lasted 2 days, normally they last me about a week.Have a wonderful spooky day!!

#151 and #152 Halloween/Fall Blog Hop here!! Blog Candy Too!

This banner is about 5 feet long it fits perfectly over my NON-working fireplace LOL!

You can win these stamps!! Just leave me a comment on which cartridge you are going to buy next! You do not have to be a follower allthough I do welcome all newcomers!

Hey ladies welcome to our Halloween and Fall Blog Hop!! If you are here from Lorraine's blog you are in the right spot. If you would like to start from the beginning at Stephanie's Blog Always Crafting click HERE.  I created this Halloween banner from cutting scallop squares on black cardstock at 10 inches or so.  I cut the varies pumpkin faces and the Trick or Treat  sign from the Pumpkin Carvings cartridge I cut all of these on 8.5x11 orange cardstock. I used my Gypsy to measure them up correctly. I punched holes on each side of the scallop squares so that I can tie my orange spiderweb ribbon into bows. This banner was about the same size as my fireplace....about 5 feet or so and it was very easy to create!

For my graveyard Halloween card I challenged myself to make a card with a color I don't use that much...gray!  I was inspired by a cemetary at night, with a gray foggy sky. The ghost and two round headstones are from Paper doll Dress Up. The cross headstone is from October 31st. I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen stamped, stamped the tree and stamped the sentiment, and I also did some faux stitching and added a pop dot to the ghost. I also added a border strip from the MS Drippy goo punch.

Lastly, I would like to thank Stephanie for hosting this blog hop and for choosing me to be one of the 11 stops! She was sponsored by scrapadabadoo and we have a grand prize which is a Tim Holtz On The Edge Die, signed by him and a Kaiser Craft Paper Pack called Jades Garden.

#109 Broom Rides Card

When I first got the Pumpkin Carving cart I knew I had to make something with this stamp they go perfectly together! The white marquee frame is from Gypsy Wanderings then I stamped the sentiment and added green and purple stickles to it. The witch is from Pumpkin Carving (Great Cart!!) all though there are NO circle backgrounds or shadows,etc I got the green circle from Plantin Schoolbook and did a little inking.
