Witchy Jack

Midnight greetings, ghoul friends!  Apparently it is pumpkin week here at Snapdragon Stamps because I have another one:

I used the Color Dare Challenge this time:

I read it as Night of Navy and maybe something between Pumpkin Pie and Mango Melody so I used both oranges.  For the jack, I inked him up in Mango Melody and then added some Pumpkin Pie ink with a sponge dauber.  I promise the hat really is blue, unfortunately I had to take my photo after dark so the color isn't quite as true to life as it could be.  I'm also linking up at Inkspirational:

The optional twist is plaid which of course made me think of the retired Plaid Tidings DSP Stack that I dearly love as I always love a good plaid, and that's also what drove me to do both colors of orange.  I found that bitty scrap of the plaid and thought it would work well for a CAS card, and I trimmed another scrap of Pumpkin Pie polka dots to give my jack something to rest on.

Stay spooky, friends!

A Pair of Jacks

Midnight greetings, spooky friends!  The hubs took this week off from work and Ryan is on his second week of fall break (uh, I think he should just have one week off) so we've been doing all the touristy things around our area this week.  We've seen some cool things, but I haven't gotten to spend any time in my craft room this week.  At least I have Halloween cards already ready to go for the Hex-Travaganza!

Here is tonight's offering:

A couple of cute jacks and also the card that made me realize I need to ink up my Flirty Flamingo and Highland Heather ink pads.  We have low humidity where I am in Colorado and I don't think about it until I have to ink up yet another ink pad.

You've seen me use this CASE-ing Tuesday Sketch before:

My Witch Way card is actually the second card I made with this sketch, and tonight's card was the first one.  I had to use the other two triangular pieces of DSP : )

Stay spooky, friends!

Haunted Pumpkin Witch

WOW Ryan woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.  I don't even know what's up with him, but he is super angry this morning!  I hope that he gets it out of his system by the time I pick him up from school this afternoon.

For now, a card.

I'm still pulling out stamps from Halloweens past to make cards this year, and I sent out a half a dozen cards yesterday.  I used the colors from the Color Throwdown:

I translated that to Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight/Crushed Curry, and Shaded Spruce.  I stamped the star with Daffodil Delight, but it turned out so dark (my pad is still pretty juicy) that I matched it to Crushed Curry DSP.  I was able to use several scraps of DSP and cardstock thanks to the sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday:

Another fun sketch!  I was going to try to make a stack of pumpkins but I couldn't seem to get it to work, so I went with one big jack-o-lantern instead.  And looking at the Color Throwdown inspo pic, now I want to try a Mickey pumpkin!  Maybe next week.

Cheers, y'all.  If you have kiddos, I hope yours are in a better mood than mine is!

Maine: Feeding the Animals

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  I'm back with more Maine pictures.

After exploring the corn maze, we all had a picnic lunch of PBJs (still Ryan's favorite) and then we got to go on a tractor ride and feed the animals.  As we were still at Homewood Farm, I kept the same Pacific Point page base and the corn-inspired patterned paper.

Same color palette as last time:  Pacific Point, Crushed Curry, Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade, Cucumber Crush, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla.

Busy week ahead, starting with picture day for Ryan today.  As expected, he's chosen a red Spider-Man shirt to wear.  : )  Have a great day, y'all!

Maine: Corn Maze

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  Hope your week is off to a good start.  I'm starting with another Maine scrapbook layout : )

So next up on our Maine adventure, we went to a place called Homewood Farm, where the boys had a great time running around in a (rather muddy) corn maze.  It was a little drizzly that morning, so we had the place to ourselves.  The boys particularly liked getting their hands stamped at various stations in the corn maze (and also getting muddy, because boys).

I knew I wanted to use this particular corn-y patterned paper, so I chose a Pacific Point page base to set off the yellows and oranges in the DSP.  So today's color palette is Pacific Point, Crushed Curry, Peach Parfait, and touches of Poppy Parade, Cucumber Crush, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla.  I've done similar things on fall pages before, where I used a blue page base to make the warm colors pop.  I think it works, and in this case, the blue ties in to Ryan's blue jacked in the pictures.

Okay, it's just about time to get Ryan off to school.  Cheers!

October 2018

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  I'm planning to do some scrapping today : )  And also laundry, because there's always laundry.  But for right now, I've got a layout to share.

Pics are from the month of October 2018.  Man, Ryan was so little!  This kid has gotten so TALL lately.  Amusingly enough, you see that bear shirt in the two photos top left?  I got him that shirt in 2T and loved it so much I went back to buy it in a bigger size, so he still has a 5T one but he hasn't worn it lately and it will soon be in the pile of clothes he's outgrown.  I used to buy him alllll the clothes with bears and/or foxes on them; nowadays his clothes are like 98% superheroes and at least half of them are red and/or black.  He has a lot of Spider-Man and The Flash stuff.

Today's color palette:  Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock, Night of Navy, Grapefruit Grove, and Whisper White.  I've used Pretty Peacock on several layouts just recently and I like the Grapefruit Grove as a more muted orange for this one.

Okay, I'm off to go do all the things.  Cheers!

Pupkins

Scrappy Monday, y'all!  I am super happy to be sharing a Halloween layout today.

And let me just pat myself on the back because how AWESOME is that punny page title?!  I was just going to stamp "pumpkins" and then at the last second I was like wait, no, it should be PUPKINS and I giggled hysterically at my own cleverness because my doggos were dressed up as pumpkins.  I miss those fur babies.

Today's Halloween-inspired color palette:  Pumpkin Pie, Kiwi Kiss, Gorgeous Grape, Basic Black, and Whisper White.

Have a spooky Monday!

Too Cute to Spook

Can't hardly believe it's almost October already!  Today I've got another baby book layout...after this, there's just one more to share from the last set of baby books that I finished in June.

I admit, I bought Jack of All Trades just before it retired specifically for this set of baby books.  I thought those cute lil jack-o-lanterns would be just perfect for Karyn's baby books : )  I like the Halloween stuff that's cute rather than scary. 

Thanks for stopping by today!  I think I might have to go watch Ghostbusters...
