Perfectly spooky!

  • Arlene -Adore the haunted mantel card! what embossing folder did you use? It is just perfect. Great job.

  • I missed last week’s challenge to make a Halloween card each day. Thank you for mentioning that in this week’s Fan Mail blog post.
    I now plan to start my Halloween cards, at least one a day.

  • Beautiful, fanciful cards. All the inlay on Celia’s turkey is amazing! Talk about the patience of Job…

  • All the cards were wonderfully creative and thoughtfully designed. Each one was very impressive. It helps to see how another person can take advantage of the different types of Anna’s products and create such wonderful ideas for specific projects. It would be impossible to select one over the others. All of the cards were lovely. Thanks for sharing!!

  • Arlene, I cannot stop laughing at the portrait over the mantle piece and, of course, the subject of the portrait. Anna’s paper dolls never fail to bring Halloween humor. Genius🎃🫶🏼

  • Shout out to Terry for the sweet snow scene using the flower shop! So cute. I was moved by how beautiful Sharon’s sympathy cards are. They will be treasured. Everything is just Fall-tastic! Thanks for sharing.

  • AWESOME craftspiration!🤩👏🏽👏🏽 Well done everyone!💃🏻🎉

  • Wow so much inspirational ideas and cannot wait for Create 9, it is just around the corner. Thank you everyone for sharing your projects with us.

  • Wow, how fun and beautiful. I really liked Arlene’s card it was so imaginative. Jo Ann’s Cornucopia colors are so pretty. I just got my dies out today to try one and this is great inspiration. I really LOVED Terry’s Flower Shop with the Snow people….just beautiful! And I thought Sally’s card showed a reserved elegance that was sublime. I tend to overdo my cards and hers was perfect for me. Actually I could mention something great about everyone’s card but I tend to write too much. Thanks for sharing 😊

  • Beautiful job everyone! I am partial to Christmas and I loved Terry’s flower shoppe Christmas!

  • Todays blog was extremely special in every single way. From very sad to very funny…all of you are Artists and more!

  • Every treat bag and card is beautiful. The cornucopias are outrageous and the hot air balloon

  • These are beautiful. I particularly appreciate the inlay work done on some of the cards. That is so very difficult and so very effective!

  • Loved everyone’s entries on today’s blog. What a nice variety of ideas that I want to incorporate in my card making. Thanks to all of you for sharing your beautiful & clever ideas, and thank you for posting my 3-in-a-row Halloween spooktacular cards I made.

  • Hi Anna and crew. My favorite Christmas decor is gingerbread. I love that Diane added a recipe! I might give it a try! 75 year old grade schoolgirls……….awesome!!! They must’ve been so thrilled to get those beautiful giftbag purses. Thanks for sharing Anna.
