Well, today I am Super Thrilled to share a couple last September New Release projects and the first one features TE's Super Fun Sketch Challenge, TE's Brand New Big Bold Halloween stamp set, TE's Brand New Little Bits Witch Hat Dies, along with TE's Brand New Matched Hocus Pocus Kit of Fabulous Patterned Papers and Coordinating Cardstocks too!... 8-)  
I just couldn't help my self, I had to create another Spooky Fun Halloween card with TE's Big Bold Halloween Stamp set. I thought it would be just Perfect for our Fun Sketch Challenge! ;-)  I started off by Stamping my Big Bold Halloween sentiment onto TE's Oreo CS with Colorbox Frost White ink and Embossed with White EP, adding a little smudging here and there for a Fun Chalkboard effect. I matted my sentiment up with the help of my Labels 1 Nesties set and added my TE's Lace Chain Border Die cut and Banner Stacklets 1 Die cut, & popped it all up with a bit of foam tape. My Mats & BG Layes were created with TE's Brand New Hocus Pocus Kit of Fabulous Patterned Papers and Coordinating Cardstocks, TE's Choice Kraft CS & a touch of shading with Memento Tuxedo Black. To finish it all up I added my Fun Witch Hat Embellie created with the help of TE's Little Bits Witch Hat Dies...;-)

Next up I am featuring the Faboooolous Brand New Spooky Trees Cutting Plate along with TE's Brand New Spooky Trees Accesories Dies Along with TE's Brand New Matched Hocus Pocus Coordinating Cardstocks too!... 8-)
Well for my Project today, I thought I'd make up a batch of Spooky Halloween Cards to send out to Friends & Family this year! 8-)  I started Die Cutting all my Spooky Trees with TE's Spooky Trees Cutting Plate  And popped them all onto my Spooky Moon & Cloud BG's created with Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, & Dusty Concord Distress Inks, along with an EK punched Circle & my TE Cloud Border Die Template and a small stippling brush too.
They were then matted up onto my TE's Choice Kraft CS Card bases and topped with TE's Band It Die cuts, all edges inked with Memento Tuxedo Black & stamped with TE's Big Bold Halloween Sentiments as well, To finish them all up, I just added some Spooky Bats with the help of TE's Brand New Spooky Trees Accesories Dies and a touch of Frost White ink. Pretty Spooktacular, huh?...;-)
