going pink...
for october. it's breast cancer awareness month, so i'm going pink for the month of october. if you have a blog, i encourage you do to the same to help spread the word. many of us know family and friends who are currently battling, are surviving or have lost the fight with this horrible disease. so remember what october is about.
i was trying to create my atc for the breast cancer swap christie is hosting and wanted a background. i used the pink ribbon background (found at the shack) last year, so i wanted something new. so i created this one. i also used it in my blog header. since october is breast cancer awareness month, i figured i would share the background with anyone who wants it! so feel free to download it here.

spooky!
i had a hard time coming up with an idea for chris's spooky atc swap. i liked my r.i.p. atc i made for sherri's crow swap, so i kind of did something similar. i bought the martha stewart bat punch many months ago and just haven't figured out how to use it yet on a card or atc. so i experimented and this is what i came up with. i can't believe how many stamp companies are on this little creation!
spooky!
stamps: amuse, just johanna/obp, imaginisce, studio g, inkadinkadoo
cardstock: basic black, crushed curry, dusty durango
ink: riding hood red, pumpkin pie, crushed curry, so saffron, onyx black
embellishments: martha stewart border punch

ghouls...
when i signed up for the ghost swap that my friend chris was hosting, i had a few different ghost stamps in mind. but then i saw this cute card that kristina werner had made and i thought it was cute and figured i could try and make a ghost atc! this is how it turned out! i think i may even try her cute pumpkin!

not a costume...
the halloween atcs continue. now appearing will be a collection of witch atcs!! i'm in three witch swaps, i think!! here's the first one. i embossed the witch to make her stand out a little better. i distressed the edges of the patterned paper with the edge of some scissors to make it look raggedy (is that a word?). i think it's funny that i used three different types of black ink!! sometimes i feel like i need to have a sign like this!!!

r.i.p...
had a hit of late night creativity. whipped out two sets of atcs and my cj (cutting it close, i know!). this set of atcs is for sherri's cawing crows swap. i got this cute little bird that has a star dangling from it's mouth (which i think is probably a christmas stamp!)so i left off the star and made it more crow-like!! i don't usually make flat single layer things, but i like how this turned out.

stamps: river city rubber works, stampin up, recollections, inkadinkadoo
cardstock: sahara sand, basic black
ink: dusty durango, pumpkin pie, marigold morning, onyx black
