Halloween for Edwin

Hi Friends :o)

Halloween is getting mighty close.

I am sure all your little ones are very excited!

I really hope the weather is good for that evening.

We have had a lot of rain in the last week,

catching up for our very long and hot 

summer.

I heard today there is already snow near our

house that we will have to drive through as 

we arrive home late Monday afternoon.

Today is our 

INSPIRATION CHALLENGE

at MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS CHALLENGE BLOG.

As you know our DESIGN TEAM member

CATHY has chosen our challenges this month.

This week her CHALLENGE is

HALLOWEEN!!!!

I had so much fun making my card for this challenge.

I decided to use Mummy Edwin # 145 from the

SO SPOOKY COLLECTION 2009.

Poor Edwin doesn't see the light very often.

I have used Memory Box Dies:

Swooping bats

Wrought iron fence

Wrought iron gate.

All purchased from Diana's store.

The pumpkins were stamped using Halloween

Collection 2008. I stamped twice then cut out 3

pumpkins and put them across the bottom.

The Wrought Iron fence and gate were cut and then

put over the pumpkins. 

Edwin was coloured in rags 

then raised on 3D tape between the opening of the

gate and fence.  After I cut the bats out

I placed them on 3D tape as well.

I had the orange swirl bling in my stash

and laid it over the paper.

Speaking of the paper!

I have had it for YEARS and am sorry 

I don't  remember who made it :o(

I cut the part of it that I wanted.

It had more things on it as well.

I also had a brad that I added

on the top right - it is black with

a half moon and two tiny stars.

Here are more pictures for you:

Certainly hope you will join us in our Challenge

for Halloween!

Check out DIANA'S

STORE for all of your needs.

There are several NEW

Stamp Collections there as well

as some great dies!

Tilda with Apples

Good Morning Maggie Friends,

It is a sunny warm fall day, just beautiful with

all the bright coloured leaves.

Would you believe we still 

haven't had any rain?

I hear we may get some by 

the end of the week, but not much.

Hope where ever you live the weather 

is behaving itself.

I am back at my Mother's for a few weeks.

Always lots to do for her.

Today of course is our COLOUR INSPIRATION

at MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS CHALLENGE BLOG

The Design Team has outdone themselves again!

Please go see my team mates wonderful work.

The month of October is Cathy Lee's turn

to determine what we will do.

Cathy has a wonderful picture to help us 

along this time:

I can't get over the beauty.

Our COLOUR CHALLENGE is:

RED, YELLOW, BROWN.

So appropriate don't you think?

Time to show you my card:

As you see it is my usual plain and simple work.

I have used APPLE TILDA #3053

from COZY AUTUMN LEAVES COLLECTION.

My design paper is very old from CTMH - 

but I thought just perfect for this challenge.

The red, yellow polka dot and brown 

were all from the same set.

From my stash I found this wide red ribbon,

the sunflower charm, also the button candy dots.

I also used red stickles on the lace of her dress.

Once finished I wished I hadn't used it - but

what's done is done :o)

You remember my camera is not itself

so my pictures aren't perfect, I just wanted to

give you an idea of what I have done.

Here is a close-up of Sweet Tilda:

the bow:

the right hand upper corner:

the inside - left :

right side:

Our Walmart no longer carries craft supplies,

but I found a few left over Jolies stickers.

These leaves go so well with the colour choice.

This card is going to a friend who has an 

October Birthday :o)

Please join us for this challenge,

one random winner will receive:
