Halloween Cards

I am a member of a card group.  There are usually 10 of us who get together once a month to trade cards, eat treats, and talk each others ears off.  We each pick a different theme every month, and make a card to go along with that theme.  Of course I had to choose seasonal cards for September, because I wanted to make Halloween cards.  I used papers and embellishments from My Minds Eye, which you can find here, and here.  

Steal of the Week

Just in, fabulous Halloween papers and embellishments from We-R Memory Keepers.  Save up to 50% off retail.  Get them before they're gone!  Also, a quick reminder about our upcoming giveaway, we'll be posting pictures of all the Halloween booty, and accepting entries starting this Thursday.  The winner will be announced on Oct. 1st.  Happy crafting.
