... WMS October Pajama Party

Good evening! How has your week been? I am glad to see Friday, today we handed our old home, our first home, over to a new family. It's been a day of mixed emotions for me, I am happy to have moved into a house that better suits our growing family, but I will miss the 'squashy house' and all the memories it holds. I was about to say I will miss the neighbours also, but I don't intend to. I intend to be a better friend to them and call in often to help them offload the surplus of delicious cakes and bakes that they always seem to have! lol. Going to be positive about it all!

Tonight we have our Pajama party and I am looking forward to catching up with you all and seeing what goodies you have created - this has been my worst month ever for blogging and all things online, so I will be here with my cuppa and I hope to get a little surf time in to visit you all!

Here are tonight's challenges:

Challenge 1 - Greenish Halloweenish

For my challenge card, I kept it real simple, mostly because much of my craft stash is still in boxes...I stamped herself in Olive SU ink and  then over-stamped the sentiment in black - both stamps are from the Vintage Witch set, then I trimmed out the sentiment with a craft knife and sponged around the edges of the panel. I mounted the main image on dimensional foam to raise it above the level of the sentiment to provide a sort of frame.
 
In case you missed the brief, here's what to do: Make a card/project featuring Halloween and the colour Green. You do not have to use Waltzingmouse Stamps products to play along, but for this challenge, if your project uses any Waltzingmouse Halloween stamps you will be eligible to double the prize if your project wins the random drawing.

This link will remain open for 24 hours. After the links close we will choose a random project to win a spot prize of £10 store credit! If the randomly chosen winner has used Waltzingmouse Halloween stamps in the winning project the winner will double their prize and receive £20 store credit.

Challenge 2 - Victorian Ghost Stories

 Ok, I have provided you with a lantern and a place to go haunting - off you pop! lol. I love this card, I love the olde worlde image of the Abbey ruins, complete with exiting bats! I used the rustic lantern from the Little Lanterns set to provide a focal point and messed around with various greenish inks to get a ghastly gleam. Wouldn't it be so neat if there was a die with which to trim out that lantern...guess what! there soon will be :)


For this challenge we're looking for  old school spooky. If you'd like to play along there is still a little time - Make a project to celebrate a vintage style Halloween. You might even want to consider a 3D project!
You do not have to use Waltzingmouse Stamps products to play along, but for this challenge, if your project uses All Hallows Eve, The Count or Vintage Witch or even Spooky Tree from the last release, you will be eligible to double the prize if your project wins the random drawing.   After the links close we will choose a random project to win a spot prize of £10 store credit! If the randomly chosen winner has used stamps from any of the following sets: All Hallows Eve, The Count , Spooky Tree or Vintage Witch from our September release in the winning project, the prize will double and will receive a £20 store credit. 3D Bonus - A bonus £10 will be added to this prize if the project created is a 3D project!

Challenge 3 - Art Deco - Black and white and POP

I shamelessly stole this image of a card Tosha made for the last release, since I have run out of making time this eve and also since it illustrates perfectly what this challenge is all about! You get the idea!

Now it's time for your Art Deco inspired creations -  featuring lot's of black and white, clean cut geometric shapes and the pop can be whatever colour you choose - maybe red, or even gold? it is not necessary to use WMS stamps, but if you do have either Art Deco Background/Putting on the Ritz or even the Art deco card panel cut files, now is the time to show us what you can do with them!  

After the links close we will choose a random project to win a spot prize of £10 store credit! If the randomly chosen winner has used either Art Deco Background/Putting on the Ritz or even the Art deco card panel cut files in the winning project the winner will double their prize and receive £20 store credit.
