Since this is my first hop, I really wanted to try to make something for each day. It is pretty tiring, I am enjoying it at the same time though. I had taken pictures last night but they came out kind of dark so I had to wait till today for the sunny shine. Hope you enjoy!
I call this one “Eye There!” Get it?!? Lots and lots of eyes in this tree! Hehehee, “eye” crack myself up sometimes. OK, I will stop now. I must say I love the Bee Witching Collection sooooo much, I can’t stop using it. When Bee showed me this set I instantly had tons of ideas. As you can see I used googly eyes for a few spots but on the others I brought out the glow in the dark paint again. The difference this time is I added Iris’. Some are blue, some are purple and of course for Halloween, red.
I love this picture. The two eyes staring down at the little sign. I looked for a stamp that would say what I wanted but it was not to be found. I have a mini alphabet that I got at the dollar bin at Michaels. You can tell I need more practice with stamping. I’m not that good with it.
I had to find a reason to use Alyssa’s stamps too. I love the two new Halloween sets (next year Alyssa, your new set should include my clever little saying ^__^) she has available now. The sentiment above is from Ghostly Greetings.
I used the Midnight Magic paper stack by Recollections, the solid and pattern except the tree. That paper is WorldWin DoubleMates in Terracotta. The cool thing about the paper is it has a different color on each side. All I had to do was gently rip the top layer off for the knot in the tree. The lighter color is actually the color on the other side. Neat, huh? A simple nail file was used to distress the base paper, Recollections ribbon and black Stickles-like glitter glue, another dollar bin buy.

Becki, you are doing great with your creations for the hop. It CAN be tiring. You are so cute. I think we have the same sense of humor! I totally got your card–cracked me up too! I think it just fine to use an alpha stamp set. I do that–think I even have the same one you used!! Next time try printing from your word processing program and then punch/cut! Looking forward to tomorrow–you can do it!!
