Northwoods and Graphic 45 Halloween cards

Hi ya all! Been super busy and not had time to post my Halloween projects I did at day 2 of Scrapfest.

So I'll try to keep this short and sweet. Here are the 2 cards I created at the Northwoods class! I love all the sparkle and shine on the ghosts in the pumpkin patch (click on the pic for a better view) and just adore fun the image on the other card! The insides of the cards are decorated to match as well. We got another image to color ( a giant Jack o lantern)  but I brought that one home and still haven't started that one.....maybe I'll get to it this weekend. I got a very nice bag of Halloween goodies and stamps from the this class too- and the owner of Northwoods is super nice- she lives just over the river from me as Northwoods is located in Stillwater MN.




Next up was a really fun Halloween treat/gift bag and a matching card that actually tucks into the folded over flap on the front of the bag. I LOVE this Graphic 45 paper- so many fun posiibilites!


The second day of Scrapfest all of us Hero Arts gals got together to have dinner at the Twin City Grill. We had a wonderful time talking- eating- having a few cocktails, and we also did a small card swap. We each made 2 cards- using either fall or Halloween as our themes. I got 2 gorgeous cards- this one from the super talented Jenn, and this awesome card from Liz. Love these 2 cards and will cherish them forever!

Here are a few shots of all of us eating and chatting!!


And here I am with the amazing Jennifer McGuire!
 


I must admit I was completely wiped out come Sunday after being the the Mall for 2 days straight. But it was soooo worth it. I had an amazing time meeting all my new friends and going to fun classes and shopping!

And here is a card I whipped up quick yesterday for my husbands "40th" birthday! I put it off until the very last minute- so it was kind of my own 60 minute challenge- I'm not kidding either - has was on his way home from work as I scrambled to get something made. You can't really tell in the picture but the whole background on the card is a sparkly gold- I  stamped the leaves with distress inks and then sprayed the cardstock using my own homemade cocktail of gold Pearl Ex powder and Lumiere paint.



Thanks everyone for stopping by and I'll be back to post some more things this weekend!

Inky Hugs, Anne
