This month I created two projects with this stamp set - I couldn't help myself it is too cute!
Here's the first one - an adorable card I created with the stamp of the month and the gorgeous new paper called Scaredy Cat.  Aren't these colors gorgeous?!?!  Crafting with Halloween colors and paper just makes we yearn for cooler weather here in Houston.

For the pumpkins, I stamped them in archival black ink, cut them out and then sponged in the color with Goldrush.  Then I attached them with foam tape and finished off the eyes with the little black sparkles.

The sentiment "happy 'owl'oween" is so adorable, and I loved how attaching it as a little flag makes it stand out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's the second one.... A mini accordion fold album.  A quick album created with a single sheet of cardstock, and accessorized with the Scaredy Cat paper pack.  There are six "panes" on the inside of the album, and four on the backside; providing plenty of room to decorate, showcase your photos, and record memories/journaling. I paper pieced the owl on the front of the album.  Sponged the arms and the pumpkin.  The sentiment is colored with our new markers, and little bits of "bling" are seen throughout.

 

This adorably cute mini album was created with a single piece 8.5x11 black cardstock for the base.  I added two chipboard pieces covered in Scaredy Cat paper for the covers and then used the stamp of the month.
