October 2018

Happy October 2018!!

This month is going to be a very full month and I wanted to give you a heads up so you know what all is going on...

First off October means Halloween!  YES :)  I know some of you don't get into Halloween but I love it.  It's fun to be scared and some studies show it's actually good for you every once in a while.  Along with Lost Coast Designs I will be participating in the 31 Days of Halloween... Every day on the LCD/CV blog there will be a Halloween themed post - I will be posting my creations here as well with a few extras not related to the LCD postings.  I probably won't hit every day but I'll have lots of fun Halloween in store for you.

Here is my first post for the 31 Days of Halloween...It was made using Rinea Foiled Papers from the Haunted Foiled Paper Variety Pack, Spellbinders & Sizzix dies and a Sizzix embossing folder.

A friend introduced me to InkTober 2018.  It's a challenge to get you to into making one ink drawing every day...starting in October and beyond. There is a list of prompts for each day (below) that will help get you moving.  Again, I probably won't hit every day but I'm gonna try.

Here is my first drawing...the prompt was poisonous...I've always liked the look of these mushrooms so I went with it.  I think I am going to have to re-draw this on some watercolor paper and paint these...they are so cool looking.

There is also lots going on with other design team events...October 6th is World Card Making Day and I will be participating in conjunction with Joy Clair Stamps and sharing a few posts through out the day. Lots of fun and give-aways on their blog as well so you'll want to check it all out.

Mid-October (18th & 19th) Imagine and Crackerbox/So Suzy's Stamps will be hosting a blog hop that I will be participating in.  I can't wait for you to see these stamps...they are so stinkin' cute! I was asked to make a single card but I had so much fun I made two and if I have time between now and then I may make a couple more.

AND

I have a few other surprises in store...

so I hope you join me in this very full month of October!
