You made me ink!

I have been so busy preparing for October 1st, that I have

been a bit neglectful of my blog. All of that is about to change very soon!

Beginning on the first day of October I will be participating in 

not one, but two, month long daily countdown hops.

I was not sure I could handle the pressure of  posting every day,

but thought, "why the hell not?".

Here's a little sumthin' sumthin' to tide you over for a couple more days.

Who doesn't love a yummy cupcake every once in a while? 

Or every time they get the chance?

This might be for someone with more of an acquired pallet.

I'm sure the Minions would gobble this right up. No questions asked.

Except for if  there's any left-overs.

I am using this delectable cupcake from the 

Candy is Dandy set from Smeared Ink. 

It is currently only available through the rubber club as a past offering,

which is now available to the public!!   

Now anyone can purchase these previously offered exclusive rubber sets!

Nice, right?

Check out all of the details here.

Okay, I colored the cupcake with Copics, and then fussy cut it out.

I was determined to use this dp from Bo Bunny. I loved it when I first

bought it, but I have been having a hell of a time using it on any projects!

My penchant for bright colors made it possible to use the paper finally.

I added the ol' Halloween standard MS drippy goo punch and 

TH skull and crossbones border with a touch of alternating Stickles. 

      

Thanks for dropping by today. 

I hope you'll come back and get your spook on starting October 1st!

Gettin' Smudgy

Had a bit of a personal loss a week or so ago,

but I'm back and ready to get warmed up for the

best holiday ever, Halloween.

I even went so far as to sign up to be a Wicked Blogger

for the 31 Days of Halloween! 

My first time ever participating! And I'm also doing the 

Countdown to Halloween . 

I am such a rebel. Or a glutton for punishment. 

Probably the latter of the two.

While cleaning up a super messy drawer, I found not one, but two

new packs of gate fold cards, complete with cool vellum envelopes.

It pays to tidy up occasionally. 

I colored up the eye scream cone from the 'Candy is Dandy' set

from Smeared Ink. 

In keeping with the Halloween theme, I colored

it in the 'red white and blue' of Halloween, orange, purple, and green.

 I used some Inkadinkado stamps for little accents.

I also hit those spiders with some 'orange peel' Stickles.

  

Added a couple of spider web die cuts from LaLaLand Crafts(?)

with a bit of 'firefly' Stickles for a nice neon pop.  

Thanks for stopping by.
