Challenge me monday #43 Sweet Shop

Today I decided to enter the challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut . The challenge is to incorporate something sweet into your project. I went a totally different way than their design team and the other entries. I am such a halloween freak that when I heard sweet treats I automatically thought of the cute little candy corn from the mini monsters cartridge. This is what I came up with.

Ahoy Matey!!!

This card was made for my totally awesome cousin Doug. I made his wife (she is my blood relative) a card first the purple squirrel card my first post and then I made his kids cards so I couldn't leave Doug stranded without a card man!!! I picked this cute mini monster because I'm hoping when he opens it he laughs. If I can get a smile then I'm happy.

I used the mini monsters, plantin schoolbook, and storybook carts on this card. Cardstock was stampinup and dcwv glitterstock, I also used some other cardstock that was left over from my sons baby album but I can't remember the brand name. I pop dotted the sentiment on the front and the monster. Now let's get to the pictures!!! muwahahaha!!!

This pic was taken with the flash on. It shows the glittery goodness as I would call it.

I removed the flash for this picture to show the shadowed effect of the pop dots.

Another non flash picture. I think they turned out pretty darn cute!!

Very simple inside but I like it. Viola and it's done!!

We did the Monster Mash!!!

Again a little behind the halloween curve but oh well. I just now decided I totally needed to have a blog of my very own. I like to call myself the queen of halloween on my street. We are the house on the street that goes crazy for the holiday and I love it!!!! This year since I'm into paper crafting I wanted to add my personal touch to the windows.

Here is the Monster Mash banner

This banner was hung in our front window along with some silly but oh so scary monsters from the cricut mini monsters cart. It looked like this:

Here is a pic of the rest of my spooky house!! Actually the spooky part is the fact that I haven't gone out there and taken anything down yet. AAAHHH!!!! Can we say procrastination??? muwahahahahaha

Never to late for Spooky Treats!!

I made this card awhile back in mid october for a cricut challenge on there forums. I love going on there and seeing everyones beautiful work. It gives me motivation to create and the challenges help me think outside of the little box in my head! I've only posted on the forums for one card challenge but I'm sure I will join many more.

I used the mini monsters cart for this card. I can't remember what sizes I cut everything at. Pretty darn small!!! It is a very detailed card! I used stampin up bright cardstock and K&Company Specialty Paper.
