Basset Hound Ghost

Man, there is not enough time in the day. I have been trying to post this card since right before Halloween.

This was for my friend that has a standing order for Beagle and Basset Hound cards for every holiday. I had totally forgot about this FREE image until I was browsing through my digital stamps. Super excited to find it. I had just got a new paper pack at Hobby Lobby and it worked perfectly.

SUPPLIES:
Digital Image: Doggie Ghost @ Free Dearie Dolls Digi Stamps
Cardstock:Bazzill (white, Raven)

Don’t Worry…

Inside: It’s All Organic!!!

As I was searching for sayings and inspiration on Halloween I came across this saying and cracked up. This is sooo my best friend!! She is into oils, home remedies, etc. (and I am sooo NOT) so I knew I had to send this to her!!! She isn’t into Halloween but I think it will make her laugh. I love Halloween….what is better than acting like a kid, being silly, dressing up and eating candy!! I don’t do the dark Halloween….I like the fun cutesy side of Halloween. That’s why I kept this card fun, bright, cutesy Halloween even though there is a cauldron. And she will be shocked there is a bow as I don’t do many bows. But when I saw this sketch with the little tag I knew it was perfect (I was struggling with how to put that saying on the front and this sketch made it so easy!)  I used a die cut from Miss Kate Cuttables (I took out one of the green layers and bubbles). I used MOJO Monday Sketch #468 for my inspiration.

Boo to You

As soon as I saw the September Digi Bundle at Gerda Steiner Designs I knew I had to have it with this adorable puppy dressed up as a ghost! Then I had to bat my eyelashes at my husband to color it up in Photoshop. What was so cool is I didn’t give him any certain colors to use and this is what he came up with…the cool part is I had 2 sheets of this Doodlebug paper that matches perfectly!! I used MOJObella Sketch #9 as my inspirational.

Yo Ho Ho Happy Halloween

Deedee’s Digis is sponsoring the Clear it Out Challenge which is Halloween (or use Black and Orange). I went with the Halloween theme but in the end used black and orange only so I did both without even trying! This card is for one of the guys at work to give his mom as they are big Basset Hound lovers so I was super excited when I saw this image.

In my stash I found the dog bone paper clip and chest charm which I thought was perfect. The paper is also YEARS old so the only thing new and modern on this card is the image! I used Tuesday Morning Sketches #271 as my inspiration.

CHALLENGES:

1) October Card Challenge @ Scrapbook.com – Favorites Category – used Tuesday Morning Sketches #271

I have a standing order for Beagles and Basset Hound cards so I was soooo happy to see this image and the image she released this passed weekend Yo Ho Ho…you will be seeing that soon. I went with colors that the card challenge at Scrapbook.com required, purple, black, green and orange, and I liked this paper when I put it all together. I really like the larger area the sketch at Mojo Monday called for so I used that sketch as my inspiration.

But I will say I’m farther along then I would have been if I wasn’t hosting this challenge.

I love Halloween! What’s better then dressing up, acting like a kid and eating lots of candy!!

I used the sketch from Simple Sketches #2 Challenge.
