Sweet Anniversary and Release Day 3


It's day 3!! 

Hip Hip Hooray! 

You should be hopping here from the 
talented and super sweet -  



If you're just stopping by my blog you might 
want to start at the beginning so you can enter to 
win the big prize... 



I'm so excited for today - it might be my most favorite 
release this week! I have lots of fun stuff to show you 
so I'll dig right in! 


I love these little characters! 


They're the perfect size for a card 
or a project! 


And, they're so much fun to COLOR!! 


Isn't he just so cute!!?!



Also, the other day when I was checking out 
the clearance rack at Michaels (yeah, I'm there A LOT) 



I saw these on sale for $2.97 -- WOW they were totally trying to get rid 
of them!! So, I bought all they had...lol... Yep, clearly
I'm a craft hoarder too! 

While I was shopping around... I thought... I could make it 
into a haunted house for my little halloween characters... 

And... So... It began... and after a couple sessions in 
my craft room... I came up with... this - 




Complete with Ghosts... 



And bats! 


And -- LIGHTS...



You can see where I hid them... 


And, of course my little characters (with lil buddie!) 




Some coffins and headstones... with bones... 



Even a tree that had lights on it! 


Here it is at night... SCARY! 


These little guys *might* be a sneak peek of a set that's coming 
in September... :) 


We'll see you back here tomorrow for 
another release peek! 

Happy Crafting!

    You really have a flair for drama...I was scrolling down and enjoying your cards--quite cute. Then I saw your unfinished house....quick thought flashed through my mind...what does this have to do....and then I saw. And saw, and saw and saw. AND it lights up. What an amazing haunted house. I can't believe the detail. Just too amazing for words!
