A little late posting...

But here's my card for our first challenge of our 8th year over on the DCM blog.

Miri picked a lovely colour palette for us to work with, since it's the first challenge of a new month:

Well, I am definitely swaying towards Christmas cards right now so I tried my hand at a festive number with these shades:

Paper: KI Memories, MME
Stamps: WPlus9, PTI
Dies: PTI, Marianne
Other: pearls, sewing machine, 3D foam, Stickles

It's a bit hard to tell, but the main pinecone and branches have had some Platinum Stickles applied. I also tried out my WPlus mini pinecone and branch stamps to do the border - they are really lovely to use. :)

And speaking of Christmas stuff... I am about to get further in the spirit. I was out for a festive crafty night with Becky last night and managed to make quite a few snowman inspired items, including this poor fellow who hasn't travelled home too well:

and today I am planning on tucking into my lovely delivery of Crate Paper's Bundled Up stash:

Yay indeed!

And before too much time passes, I'll quickly share some pics from this year's Halloween/birthday celebrations for a certain young lady.

I was crafting away on Wednesday night to get some treat bags made:

Eyeballs, pumpkins, brains... what's not to love?

I also cased a fab card I'd seen by Jess Witty earlier this year that had stuck in my head as a great Halloween number:

All to wish the gruesome twosome, and ok Lola, a happy Halloween:

We had a lovely afternoon out at a spooky cooking class, which included eyeball lemonade - quite tasty actually!

Followed by a lovely meal at the diner afterwards:

And back home for trick or treating (in the rain!), but alas Lola was not really rocking her stylish witches' hat by that time!

It looks like that Halloween weather is sticking around, the skies are gloomy outside and I really need to crack on with some card projects - looks like photography will be via desk lamp this week since all the lights are on right now as is!

Great pinecone card! When I saw the palette, I thought it'd be tricky for Christmas, but you rocked it!! Looks like you had some Halloween fun too.
Thanks so much for the butterflies and FreshCutFlorals btw which I got earlier this week - the postmark was ages ago, so I don't know what happened there, but they are really lush so I can't wait to get crafty, thanks ever so again ;)
