Halloween witches and some cute cards (not mine)

Just thought I'd start with sharing a picture of my ehm... scary.... witches. They were going to a halloween party for the first time, and had a great time. And I don't think we'll have to buy them sweeties for a while.... lol... they were both over the moon with all the sweets people were giving them... they got so much they couldn't eat it all.
Maja was so thrilled when I told her that I'd found a card challenge for children. The greeting farm blog had no less than three challenges for those under the age of 13 last week. Maja entered the Colour challenge with this wedding card.

She chose to use the couple from the caketopper set for this card, but she really wanted to use Alice from the Wonderland set too, so she entered the Bling challenge with a card with Alice on.

She did almost everything herself... the stamping, colouring, choosing the papers and layout. The only thing I helped her with was cutting the papers to the right size and punching the leaf border on the Alice card.

Susie didn't want to miss out.... so I helped her stamp some images that she could colour in and gave her some pieces of paper. She did all the colouring and gluing by herself... she even punched the hearts out herself. She needed a bit help with getting the excess glitter off the card though... I think it turned out quite good for her very first card. She entered this in the Bling challenge.

Well, have to keep this short... I've left Susie downstairs watching a film... don't think it will be long until she notices I'm gone....

My first Halloween card -ever!

Ooohhh... I'm on a roll... two cards and two posts in two days... Yay!

I made this card for two challenges. I used sketch #16 from the Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge blog. And over at Stamping for the weekend this weeks challenge #21 is "A Haunting Good Time"... so I thought I'd combine these two and use this cute halloween image that I got in that goody bag from Ida.
I used water colour pencils to colour in the image, and here you can have a peek inside the card where I stamped a couple of pumpkins.

The skull charm is actually something I cut off of my summer shoes when I had to throw them away due to wear and tear. Sometimes it comes in handy to collect everything and never throw away anything that might come in useful some day....

The "ribbon" is a bit of purple/blue tulle that I've had for years and years stashed away from a previous sewing project (I never throw anything away...lol). I sewed a couple of lines of orange shiny yarn on to keep it folded and for the added effect of the orange lines, of course.

Thanks for looking, and I really appreciate the nice comments you leave.

EDIT; When I was submitting my card to the Tuesday morninng sketch challenge I found out that I could enter it in a challenge at the TSG blog too.... they have the same sketch... Brilliant!!
