Get ready for some more 12 Days of Halloween projects as I’ve got three more for you today! I worked on day five, ten and twelve which means I only have three more days left to finish for the ultimate prize. Whoohoo! For each of my projects I’m still using the same paper – Matilda from Cosmo Cricket.

Incorporating spooks in this project was an easy task – along with the main image, Freddie Kruger Boy from Simply Betty Stamps; I used a tombstone in Epitaphs, spiderweb and skull, all from Inkadinkado, and the fifth element is the scared kitty charm.

I’ve enjoyed using these tombstones today, and as far as sentiments go, they strike a chord in my funny bone. 😀 This one in particular says “The grass isn’t greener on the ‘under’ side.” As I was coloring Freddie, it was intriguing to discover little bits of details – for example, it took me a while to figure out hes belt was a personal knife sharpener complete with side pockets for more knives – well, at least that’s how I colored it. He he!

This one was a little more challenging to figure out how to fit ten ghouls onto a card but after some creative thinking and stretching of definitions, here’s how I counted them up… five are under the tombstones, both bats, the girl and yes, the crow AND spider!

On this card I used Miss Betty Burton Chibi from Simply Betty Stamp and I colored a few feature with the Atou Spica glitter pen. (Don’t we all wish glitter showed up better in the photograpsh!) I also used more tombstones (Epitaphs from Inkadinkado). These ones say “It was a bad day,” “Holy smokes it’s hot down here,” “Poor rover rolled over,” “Does anyone have a shovel,” and my favorite “dying to be here.”

One bonus about these challenges is that I’m trying to use every Simply Betty Stamp that I have so I can officially declare them inked up! As a result, I’ve had to get a little creative with a few of my projects as I try to incorporate non-traditional Halloween images… this one included. This is Lilly Pie and to fit the them I have a baker’s dozen of bats that have burst out of that fresh hot pie!

This image was really fun to color and her hair really was a puzzle at first – however, I loved how it turned out to look like a ponytail – gosh I wish my hair was that thick! In this project, and the one before, the “moons” are really blank Halloween labels from Martha Stewert that I colored using T0, T1 and T3.

That’s all for today and hope you enjoyed them! 😀 Tomorrow is a busy Saturday but I hope to get a few more projects done – we’ll see. LOL

Update: I’m the 2012 DT winner of the 12 Days of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps!

I’m excited to show four more projects for the 12 Days of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps. The ultimate prize, if you enter all 12 days, is a chance at a DT spot for 2012! After mulling it over… I decided to go for it! 😀 So here are four days, plus the one from yesterday, leaves me seven more days to work on – I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

I needed a couple cards for school this week so that’s what I focused my efforts on. Each of them uses paper that I had stashed from last year which is Matilda from Cosmo Cricket. Where are the three cats? Two of the cats are from a die cut so I put one in the background and one on top of a jack-o-lantern; the third cat, of course, is Lynx.

The image is Lynx & London from Simply Betty Stamps and I used Filigree Jewels chippies from Make it Crafty. I had colored Lynx yesterday as a black cat so today I wanted to give him some color and went for a Siamese look in tribute to my college feline friend. I’m submitting this card into the Third Day of Halloween challenge.

On this next card I have a cork sheet for the center and cut it out with my diecuts. Then I stamped four skulls on it with images from Inkadinkado, however, you can only see three of them in the end – so it was a good thing that the image had one which makes the fourth.

The spiderwebs are also from Inkadinkado and instead of using chippies in the corners I stamped two of them in black. The main image is Mad Scientist Christian from Simply Betty Stamps and is actually a school themed image! I’m submitting this one into the Fourth Day of Halloween challenge.

This one turned out to be my favorite out of the set and actually started out being my least favorite, go figure. The challenge is seven pumpkins and I’m sure if you count the half pumpkin images in the decorative paper then I have more than enough. LOL However, there are six mostly complete ones that are visable and the felt pumpkin embellishment makes the seventh – as I count them.

I used Ali & Snuggles from Simply Betty Stamps and corner chippes in Love Heart Swirls from Make it Crafty with gems on them. I also dug out my punchinella ribbon (can’t remember how to spell it) and added a strip to break up the busy decorative paper. Finially I used my marker to draw a dashed line on the white and assembled it all together. I’m submitting this one into the Seventh Day of Halloween challenge.

This last card has plenty of ghosts to count but I couldn’t resist drawing one more in the image as well. I used a ghost on the paper as a guide and thought it would be fun to have it coming out of the pile of leaves. Since the leaves were already haunted at this point, I also added a few eyes burried in the pile – oh, what a surprise Oscar will be getting! LOL

The main image is Oscar Pile of Leaves from Simply Betty Stamps and I used chippies from Fancy Ribbon Slider and Filigree Borders from Make it Crafty (covered with silver acrylic paint). I had fun coloring this image and ended up coloring from edge to edge! This is the last one and will be entered into the Ninth Day of Halloween challenge. Hope you liked them and got some ideas to inspire you with. ;D
