Ack!  I can’t believe it!  I had this project all set to be scheduled for Halloween and then I completely forgot to publish it!  So it’s been sitting in draft mode for a while but I’m still going to share it.  LOL  It also give me an opportunity to remind you about the buzz going on over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps today – the challenge blog is featuring the LMMS Super Saturday projects showing off the spotlighted rubber stamp for the week as well as the freebie for today! 

For this project, I used Fancy Sunbonnet Witch from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and kept the layout simple. I was at my Mom’s house and she didn’t have much in the way of Halloween papers so I made do with some red and oranges that worked well together.  Then when I got home, I added the black to tie it all in… something about orange and black that just screams “Halloween!”  Right?!

This was such a fun project to color and I have to confess a little bit about the black lace.  It’s actually a hard commodity to find.  Really, it’s true!  So when I discovered in the store (after months of searching), I ended up giving in to my hording instincts and bought the whole roll!  Gasp!  I know, sorry I couldn’t share, but maybe next time I’ll leave some on the spindle.  LOL

I’m a bit late in this post but if you haven’t seen it, Little Miss Muffet Stamps has a new challenge out, challenge #72.  The theme is “Spooktacular” and is the perfect opportunity to use your Halloween stamps before the season is gone.  For my project, I used the adorable Skelekinz Baby rubber stamp drawn by Bugaboo and found HERE in the LMMS store.  I also used a wobble to pop the head and make it shake – so cute!

I have a cute little project today using Skelekinz Heart and Birds on a Wire Metal Die from Little Miss Mufet Stamps.  This cutie was recently released as a rubber stamp.  The other day I was actually looking for Halloween paper to use but stumbled upon this red and black paper that popped out at me!  I knew I just had to use it!

I didn’t add very many colors and stuck with what was on the paper, red, pink, black and white.  Then I added a tiny bit of green for the grass and the eye. Then to match the theme of the decorative paper, I used the Birds on a Wire metal die and added an extra bird in flight by the embellishment.  😀

What a day!  And oh, I’m so glad it’s over!  The kids are in bed and I can finally sit down and relax – not that they were any trouble, it’s just that the quiet time is sooo nice after a Saturday of playing.  LOL Anyway, I wanted to share this card and it’s one I’ve been excited about – I’ve made some peach jam this week and the whole time I had this stamp idea in my mind.  I couldn’t wait to try it.  😀 

This image is Sunbonnet Strawberry Jam from Little miss Muffet Stamps and drawn by Bugaboo.  The hat usually has seeds on it like a strawberry but after inking it up, I wiped them away with tissue.   Then with the seeds removed, I was able to color her peach for my peach jam.  😀

It’s October and starting to get chilly already… but I’m cranking away (I hope) on my goals for the end of the year.  These are goals I’ve set for myself and so the end date is flexible, but having it so close is also getting me motivated.  😀  I’ll share “my numbers” as of now but first…. who’s up for some ice skating?

Here’s a couple links that I’ll share, the first one being the image I used on this project which you can find in the Little Miss Muffet Stamps store.  And the second link is to the LMMS blog and LMMS gallery where you’ll find lots of other inspiration using these images!

As for writing this post, my goals on the upper left side of the blog are pretty small.  LMMS is 16 out of 44; MiC is 7 out of 150; SBS is 1 out of 13; and the overall C2C is 12 out of 252.  Now you can compare those number with the current numbers and let me know if I’ve progressed any – because sometimes I like to ignore them!  LOL

Little Miss Muffet Stamps has a rubber stamps release and just in time for the Autumn season too!  We have more images from Bugaboo in rubber and most of these will be even be fun throughout the year.  😀  First, I’m thrilled to say Fancy Sunbonnet Witch and Fancy Sunbonnet Halloween have joined the group!  And I also want to introduce the funky new Skelekinz – they have an unresistant whimsical nature.  he he he

To share my excitement, I’ve decided to start off with a big SALE!  Each of these new rubber stamps are on sale – just drop them into your basket this week and enjoy 25% OFF!  But hurry, I’ve added an additional 10% discount when you use the coupon code – check out the LMMS Blog for all the details.

For this project I’ve used Skeletinz Love which was drawn by Bugaboo and available in rubber at Little Miss Muffet Stamps!  I hate to share this but this cute little “monster” reminds me of when my daughter wakes up in the middle of the night because she had a bad dream… she’s so stealthy and quiet that usually the first time I notice her is when she’s standing next to my bed, doll or blanket in hand, ready for a hug.  🙂

I’ve gone with some crazy colors but the green is one that I really like – it’s YG91, G43, G40 and YG231.  Then for the eyes I added a little YG93 and YG95 to get them darker.  It’s was one of those mistakes that turns out well and I’m going to have to use it again.  LOL
