For this month’s “Anything Goes” challenge at Sheepski Designs my DT card features a sweet little mummy
gnome in a digi named “Trick or Treat” by artist/owner Andrea Norris. ” Inspired
by the photo of this digi on Andrea’s Etsy Shop, I colored the gnome cap on my
card to resemble “candy corn.” Backed by a background freebie from DDDoodles named
“Eerie Forest,” and embellished with scary bats, pumpkins from an OLD Stampin Up set, and a vellum ghost, the finished card has a fun Halloween vibe!

I’m entering this card
into several challenges including Park Hopping-My Happy Place (Most
of the Halloween cards I create have a cutesy feeling, mainly because they are
sent to nephews and nieces. However, I’ve always loved scary movies, so I think attending Halloween Horror Nights (at any Universal Park worldwide) would literally be a
scream, literally!! Supplies:
· Eerie Forest Patterned Paper- a freebie

This is my second entry into the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge, which
features coffee and/or hot chocolate, plus this month- cookies and/or candy! I
use this digi set from Beccy’s Place quite often because the drinks look so
yummy, and the sentiments are so versatile! This is the first time I featured the
mug of hot chocolate with a towering dollop of whipped topping and an
assortment of peppermint candies onto a teepee fold card. (I was surprised at
how easy it is to make this fold. I plan to use it more often in the future! I
didn’t have any small magnets on hand, but I did have Velcro and it worked
pretty well, too.)
I’m entering this card
into several challenges including Cupcake
Inspirations: Favorite Foods (I love hot chocolate, especially during fall and
winter with a shot of peppermint
schnapps, of stirred with a candy cane. So yummy!), The Paper Shelter: Three
of Something (I embellished the sentiment with three peppermint candies fussy-cut
from a scrap of patterned paper), and ABC Christmas Challenge: T is for Traditional Christmas Colours (For a
little variety, My card includes a few shades of red and green!) Supplies:
