With Love, From Vlad

Happy Sunday, y'all!  We had a good time at the craft fair yesterday and I bought a couple of fall-themed kitchen towels because I have decided to get a couple of things every year until I can deck out my entire house with fall and Halloween stuff.  Forget Christmas decorations, I wanna decorate for fall!

This morning, the hubs took Ryan to a car show so I had a nice, relaxing morning by myself.  I sat down with some apple crumb cake (let's call it a coffee cake so it's an acceptable breakfast food) and a couple of mugs of tea and had a looksie at some blogs and what do I see but this sweet challenge from the Paper Players:


Buuuuuut it's October so my brain has gone full send on all things autumnal and Halloweenie, so guess what I made.


Vlad's got a boo-quet just for you!  Y'all know that Best Fiends has to come out to play at least once every spooky season and this year Vlad got to play first.  Maybe I should just leave it out on my table until Agnes and Frankie get inked up this year too.  My all-time favorite Halloween stamp set : )  I found my "Love at first bite!" greeting in Scary Cute to make sure that Vlad was lovey-dovey enough for the Paper Players challenge, and his boo-quet has Wink of Stella on the eyeballs because of course it does.

I'm also entering this at Inspire. Create.:


Yes please, this is my favorite theme to make cards for!  Finally, I used the color palette from Sunday Stamps:


I used Gorgeous Grape, Tahitian Tide, Basic Black, Peach Pie, and Melon Mambo for my colors.  That inspo pic is making me want to do a haunted house card next.

Okay, that's it for me today.  I think I'll go watch a movie...either Muppet Haunted Mansion or possibly Clueless.  I've been on a spooky movie kick lately but for some reason I really want to watch Clueless too.  Decisions, decisions!  Have a great day, peeps.

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Best Fiends, Scary Cute
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Tahitian Tide, Gorgeous Grape
Paper:  Basic Black, Tahitian Tide, Gorgeous Grape, Thick Basic Black, Unbounded Love DSP
Accessories:  Deckled Circles dies, Deckled Rectangles dies, Dimensionals, black rhinestones, Wink of Stella

Oh my goodness - fabulous Christie! I never thought that it would be possible to combine a love and Halloween theme, but you totally nailed it!! The craft fair sounds like fun - I had a rare shopping trip out last week and was looking at fall home decor too - I decided I really don't have enough of it so time to rectify the situation! Thanks for sharing your cute card with us over at The Paper Players this week!
