High Hopes Challenge: Autumn Colors

Hello stamping friends!!

Wow! Monday was just a crazy day. One of those days where you go non-stop, but don't really feel like you accomplished anything by the end of the day? Yeah, that's what I felt like yesterday - although I did get work, orders, grocery shopping, cooking dinner, some laundry, and stamping done...but still!

Oh, and I had another darn scorpion in my house!! I was just telling the cleaning lady (I have bad asthma and allergies so we have someone come in to do the deep cleaning) to be careful when she picks up something off the floor because that is what happened when I got stung...and darn if we both didn't look at something in the corner of our eye that ended up being another small scorpion!! Luckily we saw it and were able to easily step on it (she had shoes on) before anyone got stung. Then she went home and was cleaning her own house and found another scorpion under the rug by her front door!! She doesn't live near me but she does live by some woods - so I guess they are just out in full force this year!! I've never seen one in my house EVER...and now I've had 4!!

Anyway, our bug guy is coming back out today. I want them to check in the attic. That's the only place that hasn't been treated yet. EWWWW!!!

Ok, so it's time for the new High Hopes Challenge.

This week's challenge is being hosted by Niki and her challenge is: Autumn/Fall Colors

(Think: Reds, Oranges, Browns, Purples, and Black).

I decided to go with a Halloween themed project this week. It's actually a sneak peek at the tutorial that I am hosting next week...

I just fell in love with these witches that Laurie designed last year so I wanted to make sure that I got to use them again this year. I used Standing Witchy Poo and Witchy Poo and Kitty Frame. 

On the back, I used Happy Halloween Sentiment Top/Bottom to finish it off.

These are really easy to make, but make sure to check back next week to see the tutorial! 

I am out of stock of many of the Halloween designs, but I will be getting them in soon.

Oh, by the way, these cupcakes didn't last long - they were eaten as soon as the pictures were taken. I mean, it's too early to use them for a Halloween party - and it would be a shame to let them go to waste, right?! Yum! But I did save the images - I think they will be repurposed for something else!!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!
