Vintage Inspired Hallow's Eve Creations

Good Morning!
So happy you could stop by for a visit today!

My hubby has been away at his buying convention the last few days, and this has allowed me to squeeze in a little extra crafting time.  It's funny, but when he's gone I will usually land up crafting and creating late into the night/morning because I find it so hard to fall asleep.  I took this opportunity to work on a few new items for the Etsy shop.  It had been awhile again since I was able to just create something for myself and not something specific for a design team.  (Speaking of Design Teams...I have a super surprise to share with you next week!  So stay tuned!)

I had some super cute vintage style Halloween collage sheet die cuts that I had been waiting to use.  I decided the time was right to open the Halloween section in the store, so I set to work.  
I dislike the darker side of this spooky season, so cute and charming is the direction I went!
These images just remind me of simpler times when people could still bob for apples, hand out popcorn balls and the holiday wasn't portrayed as being so dark.  

Here's a look at the cards I created...




 



Well, that's it for me today!  Short and sweet!
Time to start packing up the kiddos and heading out to the campground.  
It seems that the summer is quickly coming to an end and they will be in school again in a few weeks!
So, enjoy the rest of your weekend, and don't wait too long to come visit again!

Until next time...
 

Christmas Greetings

Another weekend is upon us!
I hope you've had a great week, and are ready for a restful weekend!

I'm showcasing another Christmas card today!
It's Friday, and you know what that means...a new challenge with us at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long!

And guess what?
Our theme for this week is once again...

"Anything Goes"

I know you aren't tiring of these as we've had great participation with awesome cards!
You all rock!

Can I begin by showing my creation first?

Here's what I came up with...


Isn't she most elegant?  I fell in love with this image as I usually do with all retro and vintage images!
Imagine dressing up with the family to decorate the house...having some special dainties that are only made during the holiday season.  Neatly wrapping all the gifts to place under the newly decorated tree.  Definitely NOT how we do it at our house!  LOL
There really is something about the simpler days of eras gone by.
Just to let you know, this elegant one of a kind card is being sold in my Etsy Shop should you be interested!

Be sure to check out the CSAYL blog to see what kind of creativity our "Anything Goes" challenge inspired in the rest of the DT members. 
The lucky winner of this challenge will be invited to guest design with us in the month of June!

Until next time...
