Monster Munches and Tricky Treats Halloween Cards and Madonna!!!

Hi Blogging Friends

Just another Halloween card to share. I made this card for my Stampin Club this last week. Kim found this really cute paper for $1.00 at Walmart, it's "Studio G" with 4-12x12 pieces and 4-8x8 pieces... wow and so cute too!! They also had buttons and ribbon to match the paper all for $1.00. The orange button is from one of the packs.

I had forgot that stampin up had retired the small tag punch, but it works perfect with this stamp set.

Do you want to make this card??? Here are the measurements...

Tangerine Tango- main card 4.25 x 5.5

Black 4 x 5.25

2 Designer Papers 3.75 x 1.5

1 Elegant Eggplant 3.75 x 1.75

1 White 3.75 x 1.5

Scraps of Tangerine tango and White for Tag.

The orange ribbon is from Michael's Craft Store, I got it for 1.99 on sale and it has 10 yards on the spool.

Then Rachel came over with more paper and wanted to make some invites for a friend. So I cut them out and she put them together. The spider is Jolee's boutique. The paper is Recollections "Haunted Estate" both green and purple cards.

The spider web and potion bottle are both Walmart stamps a pack of 4 for 97 cents. The Halloween ribbon is also from Michael's.

The skull is also from Jolee's boutique Halloween collection.

The witch stamp is an oldie but goodie from stampin up, called bitty boos.

I went to the Madonna MDNA tour concert in Seattle on tuesday October 2nd, and I wanted to share some of my favorite pictures that I took.

She is in the most amazing shape! She was singing with the mic in one hand and twirling a baton with the other!

The Stage with the big screens, the picture here are a bunch of hands in motion... so cool!

Frightening Feline Card with Recollections ~ Night and Fall Paper

64 Days Until Halloween!!!

Just a quick card I did with the new Frightening Feline stamp from Stampin' Up. Plus this is the first card I made with the NEW small scallop circle punch!!! LOVE it! Everyone in my card club bought it just because of this card.

I used Crystal effects on the little cat in the scallop circle. This picture is more true to the color of the card, and is without a flash.

This picture is with a flash and like it because their is no glare on the little cat.

Was not sure what picture to use... so I used both!! lol

The little cat is from the OLD Bitty Boos (one of my Halloween oldies off my stamp wall). The little cat looks like a big brad in person. If you want to see the Halloween stamp wall "Click Here"

Spooky Bingo Bits Card as Homage to Paper Players 100th Challenge and Halloween Owls!

Happy 100th to Paper Players!!

I missed the 100th Challenge over at Paper Players but, I must have been thinking of them because I made this card using LeAnne's Sketch. This is one of my favorite sketches and when I had some friends over last week I made a bunch of these cards for them to make. I know what you are thinking "Halloween! What Crazy Girl"!!! I just can't control myself when it comes to that Holiday. I could just do Halloween all year! Now that would be a fun blog! lol

I just had to use the owl stamp!

I found this ribbon at Michael's craft store. Let me tell you the price.... are you sitting down? I got it for only 1.99 on sale, with 10 Yards!! Yes 10 Yards! I could not even believe it myself. It's beautiful and soft and comes in lots of colors, just as good as the SU ribbon that is 10.00 and also 10 yards... I know some of my SU pals might be upset by this but, I have a lot smaller budget this year and can't afford 10.00 ribbon.

Here is LeAnne sketch from Challenge #60

Loved it!!

Great Grads Card for Graduation Challenge with Recollections Night and Fall Paper

A La Card Monkey Challenge #111!!

I am still having trouble with my neck and spending a lot of time at Physical Therapy. I went in today because a bone in my neck was stuck and OMG they twisted and turned me. Thank God my Husband was there this time to hold my hand. He will help me at home too because I forget everything that I should be doing. I have been so stressed out and that just makes it worse. So they were trying to get me to relax and I am really bad at that. lol

I was shopping at Michael's and found this new paper By Recollections. I know it's not fall but it was just to cute not to use this week.

This week at A La Card Monkey we are doing a Graduation theme with a sketch but, if you don't need a Graduation card.... Anything Goes, just use the sketch. Go Crazy with it!!! make the sketch your own! 

I used the Dazzling Details on the cap and the letter "G".
