Cards are "BOO"tiful

And here they are all together!! The cards from the "Halloween Theme" card group. I heard some of the ladies say this was our best group yet! And it truly was awesome! Everyone really got the creative juices flowing. I love this set of cards and I hope you will enjoy looking through these, too.
"Boo Friends" by KANDI

Doodling is really popular right now - like Kandi's dot border she drew around the right half of the card. This card truly gets us into the spirit of Halloween by wearing it's "costume" - the purple sequin necklace. THANKS Kandi.
"Hey there, BOOtiful" by TRACI
This card proved you can be feminine AND scary!! ;-)

"Tag, you're it!" by TERA

You are supposed to attached this card to a plate of goodies and leave them anonymously on your neighbors porch then RUN. *Remember to ring the doorbell first!
"Happy Halloween" by ANNA fine details done with an EXACTO KNIFE!!! What a fun idea! I love the green bow on top and the stamping that looks like the pumpkin vines.

"She's got legs!" by JENNIFER
She may have chosen a different name for her darling, stamped and painted card. (Jennifer- if you prefer something else you can tell me.) :-) The thing I love about this card is the clever way to give a small gift! See how she's included EARINGS as a part of the card? I think there are a lot of different ways we could use this idea. Maybe add a necklace, bracelet. . . . hmmmmm what else? Leave a comment if you have another fun idea.

"Haunted House" by WHITNEY
Cute, intricate, scary and a labor of love! She cut out all of her cards with an EXACTO KNIFE! How many hours did the whole thing take?????
"Woo hoo" by KIMBER

I hope you will forgive me Kimber. . . I had a hard time getting some of these close-ups shots to focus. . . (they looked fine on my camera, but when I got them on my computer and blew them up I realized it was a little blurry - SORRY!) Hopefully everyone will get the idea.


"Zigzag Pumpkin Card" by KATY.

Classic orange and black Halloween colors. I really like the zig zag border, I haven't sewn on paper for about 4 years now, but you have inspired me Katy. THANKS!

"Too Cute to Spook" by BETHANY

This card has a story to tell. You can almost see its "lips" moving. Bethany saw a picture of this card at the store and snapped a photo on her phone. She used the photo as her pattern and designed the shape of the skull freehand. This card has lots of personality!

Well, thats it! Just a few snapshots below that I thought would be fun to share.
I love this picture, its like a big bouquet of cards. BTW . . PURPLE is my favorite fall color! Its so unexpected, I usually think of oranges and reds and golds, but I think purple is one of the best surprises of fall - which is why I had to find a way to incorporate it into my card.

WARNING: This is NOT a card, but sooooooo cute!!! Try to refrain from pinching his cheeks.

cards galore!

THANK YOU EVERYONE AND ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY HAUNTINGS!
