Hi everyone!
Hope you are all having a happy fall day!
I have some fun creations for you today! Starting with this "fallish" card I created using the September Kit of the Month.

One of the things I love about Unity is how unique their quotes and sentiments often are...I love how so many of the quotes are funny and tongue in cheek and also how well they nail exactly how I feel so often....this set is no exception....
Cancer is a tough topic...or it can be....and these stamps....well...they kinda just say it like it is!
I love that. So much.

beautiful cards! Love the color combinations.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Shilo. Thanks for inspiring us with all the stamps. I love Unity stamps and never have enough time in a day to create with them.
ReplyDeleteHalloween is a fun time for kids. I LOVE THE COSTUMES and all the little ones who are afraid to come up to our door. We don't get many kids anymore. I enjoy seeing the costume on my GD.
Sweet, sweet and just plain wonderful! All of your creations are just fabulous as is your name! Love it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Cards!! And my favorite thing about Halloween is that it's my birthday :) And I just love to make Halloween cards too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! I'm digging the new cancer sentiment. Ah, Halloween...I love costumes, candy, and more candy!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your cards, but most especially your cancer one. for me the best part of Halloween is the day after sale on all of the candy! ha! ;)
ReplyDeleteyour work is so delicate. I love it
ReplyDeleteLove the cards. I love the little kids dressed up for Halloween as my favorite part.
ReplyDeleteMy first time visiting your blog. I like the way it is arranged. I'll be back! I'm anxious to see more of your Halloween ideas. Who doesn't like Halloween?
ReplyDeleteLove your cards (especially the first one!!). I love Halloween because it's a chance, for one night, to be something you usually don't get to be.
ReplyDeleteI love that tree on your first card! I work in a nursing home, and many of the children in town come here trick-or-treating. They make a haul and we love to see them in their costumes. It's a great community feeling.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! All are so lovely! What I love about Halloween is seeing all the cute and scary costumes of the kids coming to my door.
ReplyDeletejust in love with the first card, the thing i like about helloween is, the helloween walks at night, the scary things, the decoration...i just love witches, ghosts, bats, goblins, pumpkins...fake spiders (not the real ones...they scare me) lol

ReplyDeleteGreat creations!! Really cool that you are offering an extra giveaway! My favorite thing about Halloween is the CANDY!! I'm too old to trick or treat, but that doesn't stop me from buying it! Have an awesome day! :)
ReplyDeleteThe best part of Halloween for me is all of the festive decorations and being a little spooky once a year. Your projects today touched my heart. They are beautiful and heartfelt. :)
ReplyDeleteYour creations are beautiful, thank you for sharing them with the world! Wht I love about Halloween is all the decoration, set up costumes and make up, becoming something else for a day, either something cute as a princess or an angel or completely disgusting as a zombie! I believe it is the most fun holiday!

Lovely cards! :)
ReplyDeleteI live in Norway, and we don't have a tradition of celebrating Halloween, so I can't say there's anything I love about it.
Fabulous cards. I really love the f**k cancer one.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite part about Halloween is...I'll admit it...the candy. Lol. I do love seeing creative costumes as well. Thanks for the chance to win.
These cards are all wonderful. Your paper choices are just so spot on, and love the trims and embellishments you choose. WHat a love about Halloween? That's a no brainer....the candy!

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful cards! And I agree, Unity has awesome sentiments! as for Halloween... Makeup. In high school I started learning about stage make up in my drama classes.... I kinda got hooked. Halloween gives me an excuse to dust off the old skills. :)
ReplyDeleteFirst, I LOVE your cards, especially your cancer one. Way to go using such a GREAT quote with such an elegant card. :)
ReplyDeleteSecond, what do I love about Halloween? I love the candy, of course. But I LOVE seeing kids' costumes as they come to my door - especially the ones dressed up as things from WAY before their time, like Star Trek or Star Wars or Back to the Future! :) Makes me feel old but also like there's hope that not everyone will be Miley Cyrus for Halloween! :)
Gorgeous Cards!
ReplyDeleteLove the new stamps, but especially love the cancer Fashionistas. My mama had breast cancer 4 years ago, so it has special meaning. :)

ReplyDeleteWonderful collection of cards. Love the tree and the hearts. You asked what I love about Halloween. I feel it is a time to let loose and have some fun.... Not in the go wild party way but it a day to not be serious about things. Have fun and play.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love all the colors in your cards. They look so rich.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, what do I love most about Halloween? THE CANDY!! I always buy it a week ahead of time, then have to go out on Halloween day to buy more because we've eaten it all!!

Gorgeous cards! Thanks for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful cards! I especially love the first one. ;) My favorite thing about Halloween is the weather. Crisp mornings and bright, sunny days with a nip in the air make me smile.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful cards, my favourite thing about Halloween is helping my children do their pumpkins and then displaying them in the window, so we get lots of trick or treaters. We've turned the tables and play a little trick on the children, they pick up sweets from a bowl with a hand that moves when they pick the candy up and it also makes a spooky laugh. The children seem to love it. Kind regards Jo x
ReplyDeleteLove the cards you shared! :) My favourite thing about Halloween is pumpkin carving! You can never get too old for that! :) It's so much fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. My favorite thing about Halloween is all the trick or treaters. we always end up so many at our house.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are fabulous and so cool!! Thank you for sharing them and for the giveaway! My favorite thing about Halloween is yummy beef stew waiting in the crock pot at home for us when we are through Trick or Treating!!
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love about Halloween? For 18 years we had a childless marriage (miscarriages) and then BAM! Surprise?! LOL. Finally I get to experience everything through a childs eye and Halloween is the best. Well actually Christmas is the best but Halloween is a close second. :) I just love how my son gets so excited and that kind of joy is contagious. Now on to your cards....LOVE! I want that tree in the first card, the second one is gorgeous but not sure I could get the nerve up to use that stamp *grin*. So envious of your copic skills in the 3rd. One of these days I'll learn how to color....(sigh)
ReplyDeleteLovely projects, Shilo.
ReplyDeleteMy husband was born on this day ;) love your creations!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. Those cancer sentiments are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWow you a busy week! Awesome cards!!
