Halloween Cards - it's that time of year

I've been traveling these last few weeks all over New England doing family genealogy with my sisters. We had great fun, as always and now I am home again. It's good to get back to crafting. I do miss it when I travel. Today I spent the whole day making Halloween cards and so enjoyed it.  

I used one piece of 12 x 12 paper I purchased called Midnight Madness by Reminisce. Each card is a standard A2 size. It works well to use the one piece of 12 x 12. It all works out with the math. I added bits and bobs of embellishments I had or made, some old and some new. 

I am pleased as to how they turned out and are cohesive as a group. I am thinking of selling these. If you are interested, let me know. 

my entry for the I'm So Witchy contest

Over at Creative Souls there is a fun contest I am entering. These are images of what I made for the contest. The rules call for using digital art from Moonlight Journey. I created an ATC sized mini book using the digital art that I purchased and then printed. I used my Zutter to bind the ATC's into a cute little mini.  "Rules for Halloween" is the title of my entry. Rules say either digital or non-digital art is allowed. Click on the Create Sould link above to visit and vote for your favorite art...

I used some of these same rules to make individual ATC's several years ago for an article for Somerset Holidays and Celebrations annual magazine. Those were individual ATC's that I later sold as a series of ACEO's on eBay.

very good advice all year long, actually.

I find this one to be especially true...

Halloween ATC's published!

These Halloween ATC's were just returned to me in the mail today. Months ago the editor Amanda Nolan of the Magazine "Holidays and Celebrations" invited me to submit art for this annual craft magazine. The magazine hit the news stands a couple of weeks ago.

Here are the ATC's that appeared in the magazine on page 107 of the magazine.

I had a lot of fun making these!
