Happy October! Today I have a couple of very different projects to share. First up is a rather clean and simple Halloween card featuring a combination of PTI stamps from the Spooky Sweets 11 stamp set along with Tim Holtz Halloween themed patterned paper:

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with the Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge:
 and for theme inspiration, I joined along with The Paper Players challenge:
Up next are my two different attempts to paint poppies on 12" x 12" canvas panels as I followed along with Nancy Medina's Poppies video tutorial. Practice, practice, practice...

I'm joining along with this week's Paint Party Friday site:
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be Sweet ;)

We don't really "get" the whole Halloween thing here in Australia, but I can still admire your cute card. It could be used for many occasions, especially like the background paper you've used. As for the Poppies! Wow, they look stunning.

Love that curious cat on your card. The fun look on its face made me smile. Your poppies are beautiful. I think I like the second painting best, but they both show your wonderful talent.
