Hello Everyone!
A very busy day today here in Dreamland!!  Two new challenges and my first post for the 31 Days of Halloween event!  So scroll up and down to find the three different posts!!  This post features the October Lost Coast Design's Challenge. The theme for this month is:

Make a  monochromatic project using any stamps (projects with Lost Coast or Carmen's Veranda stamps get an extra try at the prize) and link up on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity Blog.

This month, all the Lost Coast Designers are celebrating Halloween--in conjunction with the 31 Days of Halloween Event (presented  by Smeared Ink).

Check out my Halloween Party invitation!

CAS Retro Note Card Set Part Two

Hi Dreamers!
Here I am back today as promised with part two of my CAS Retro Note Card set!  The cards were made for the November Blockheads Challenge.  Which is still open...so make  a CAS card and link it up!  Check out  all  the details on my post here.   Here is a second look at  the group photo.

Materials List:

Blockhead stamps:

Retro Shapes

 Verses - Retro

Ink: Stream Adirondack Ranger

White and Teal Cardstock

Note: Allowing for the finickiness of my camera and its reaction to light...all the cards are made with White CS and Stream ink.

Wouldn't these be great for your Cocktail party invites!??!!  And, since they are CAS, they would go together very quickly.

Super fun images!!  And, I love how great they look stamped in Stream ink and with the teal CS---very fifties.  Love this set for CAS cards.   It is the ginchiest!!

So, let me check my schedule and see what will be posted tomorrow.  Yes, I had to make a schedule.  I had a lot of things made and I thought it would just be easier to write it all down.  The schedule is working great. Oh, looking at the schedule, I will be back later with a Stampsmith Christmas card.  And, for tomorrow,  Character Construction Christmas cards!!  That does sound good!  See you then!  Love ya.
