Halloween Tag - trick or treat

Please click here for Tip Thursday 9/10 Color Tags & Dry Embossing. Please visit during Sept for new Tip Thursdays.
 
Rcvd my first STAMPtember Simon order. Used a Simon stamp/die to make the tag. Used the trick or treat die on yellow cardstock to frame the stamped trick or treat on orange tag layer beneath. Stamped, colored & die cut some candy corn (great way to cover up some smudges, heehee). 

I like candy corn and like the Autumn Mix better since it has pumpkins in it as well as candy corn. My fav Halloween candy is or should I say was (reason I say was is because I have not seen the dark choc Reeses in 2 yrs, there was none to be found last yr & so far none this yr) dark chocolate Reeses pumpkins. What is your fav Halloween candy?

Fond of Snoopy and my mantle is partially decorated for Halloween.

Crayola: pencil colors
CTMH: Shimmer pen clear

Halloween Birthday Card

Have a friend with a birthday on Halloween that I made this card for.

Used several My Favorite Things Die-Namics dies (Haunted House, Spooky Fence, Slimline Starter).  Used my Sizzix BIGkick regular plates & extended plates. Used Cardz TV stamp, Spooky Sayings, for sentiment that I won in a challenge recently. Distressed the sentiment tag with Tim Holtz paper distresser & Distress Ink. Used CTMH Lemonade shimmer pen on the yellow windows for more of a glow look. Added a wobble to back of Skeleton to make him dance. Can you see the skeleton inside the door of Haunted House?

You Make Life Fun LF Interactive Pool/Summer Card

Had fun creating this interactive card. Used Lawn Fawn LF slide die & LF stamp/die.

We have a pool but no slide and no diving board. Shortly after moving in 20+ yrs ago we had the diving board removed and changed the pool into a volleyball style pool with depth in middle deeper and at end end not as deep. Changed plaster to fiberglass, had pool tile & brick coping redone and deck redone with pave stoning. 2 yrs ago we changed the spa to a wade out area. The spa heater was not working and would have cost more to redo that and we did not use the spa so the wade out area is better. Daisy Rey our Lab/Retriever Mix would not go into the pool into we had the wade out area remodeling. She can lay down and just get her tummy wet. Holly Blossom our German Shepherd/Husky Mix went in for a brief time when we had some friends of my daughters over.
