Halloween Card Pressies!

I received two really cute Halloween card pressies in the mail from cardmaking buddies.  My first card from my friend Charlene sports a wonderful broom-riding witch scene with ghosties lurking here and there.  I love the scary, foggy background created using the chalkboard-sponged technique.  It is such a darling witchy scene with lots of detail.  I just love this spooky card...you can almost hear a wind whistling in the dark and the ghosts swish to and fro and the little witch whisks from here to there in the dark night sky!   Below is a peak for you of  my happy mail card, and my big thank you to Charlene for my first lovely Halloween treat!

My second card pressie was from my fun-loving, cardmaking buddy, Sandy.  I remember our crafting shopping trip to Impress Stamps in Tukwila when she bought this Memory Box Halloween die that she used to make my sparkly shaker card window.  I had to buy one as well, but with wedding planning taking over my schedule of late, I did not get a chance to make or send any Halloween cards this year.  But, I certainly plan to try this die out next year!  Sandy also used her WRMK Photo Fuse Tool to make her shaker envelope and buried it in a double-layered card front that was embossed with a spider web behind the shaker circle.  The WRMK Photo Fuse Tool is the very tool she gifted me for my birthday that I love, love, love!  Aren't the little Halloween colored sparkles in the shaker window cute!  Below is a peak at my card pressie from friend Sandy, with my special thank you to her for such a wonderful Halloween treat!
