Happy Halloween

Unless I have missed anything, this is the last of my October posts.  October seems to have gone past so quickly despite having 31 days in it.  The weather here still hasn't been that great.  We have had some warmer days but the mornings are still quite cool.

Paper Planes

I am scrambling to get everything done before the end of the month.  Despite October having 31days in it, I'm still struggling to get things done.  I have a day to spare on this one - not exactly cutting it fine but closer to the deadline than I would like.

I have used a digital paper that was in my stash (not sure of the origin of it).  The image is the freebie image from The Outlawz.  I wasn't really sure what to do with this image so I kept it as one image and blinged up the clouds a bit.

Fantasy Deer

I'm gradually finishing my projects for the October Challenges at Gecko Galz.   

After a thunderstorm last night, we have a bright sunny day.  I'm feeling more inspired to create today so may get one or two more completed.

One's destination is never a place..

 I had overlooked posting this earlier in the month, but as the challenge is still ongoing, it can serve as a reminder post.

I have used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.  The images are (from top to bottom) by Digi Darla , Lacy Sunshine (now called The Colour of Love) and Delicious Doodles.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also added some text stamping.

Believe in the magic of Christmas

This Anything Goes Challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, we are sponsored by All Dressed Up. 

I have used an image by All Dressed Up called Santa Post.  The sentiment is also from All Dressed Up, although I think this one may be retired.

I also used some borders from a Kaisercraft paper - a snowflake one for the falling snow and a lacy one for the piles of snow on the ground.  Colouring is with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.

Happy Pumpkin Day

I am a bit late with this post.  I thought I had posted it at the beginning of the month but it managed to stay in draft.  Today was the first day that I have gone back to write another post and saw it still in Drafts.

This month at Incy Wincy Designs, the theme is Autumn and/or More Than One Fold.   I decided to do both an autumn card and a card with more than one fold.  This is a fold that I learned at the Stress Free Cardmakers Summit.

This picture gives a better view of the top fold and the side fold.


I have used some digital papers from PixelScrapper.  The image is from Designed 2 Delight and the sentiment is from Create with TLC.  Colouring is with copic markers.
