Southern Scraps

I just finished baking a chocolate cake. It's my first try at my grandmother's well known recipe and I think it turned out well. The icing is a homemade, hand stirred fudge icing. YUM! But it is a little bit of work, so I'm quickly sharing this card and then it's off to bed. This week the VC Stamp Challenge was to use black, purple and green. I love that as a Halloween combo. I used Mr. Moon digi stamp . The papers are K& Co. My layout is based on the sketch at Crazy4Challenges this week. A few deets : the black strip behind the image is embossed with the Cuttlebug d'vine swirls folder. The image is colored with Prismacolor pencils. A little funny note: I colored where I shouldn't have on the witch, so she has a full set of sleeves in her dress. I guess I thought she shouldn't be so sexy, LOL!

The time of year when all the ghost and goblins come out.... it's fastly approaching. My hubby loves Halloween so all month I'll be searching etsy for some interesting Halloween related items. This week's focus is pumpkins/ jack o lanterns. Jack o Lantern Stained Glass Mosaic by Red Planet Stained Glass Creepy Halloween picture frame by LoriLong Halloween Art Print by Stipplyirresitible

Here's a great tutorial from splitcoaststampers for a gate fold card. And here's a Halloween card I made from this tutorial.
