A great ending to a not so very good bad day! IO Die Hop, Day Three



Good Morning!!!  We're flipping back to Halloween again from the Brrr Factor, moving along from Chilly to Wicked!!!

Today is Day Three of the IO Stamps Newly released Dies Hop

I hope that you have all enjoyed the wonderful creations from the DT.

I had a chance to hop today and WOWSER! This TEAM ROCKS-BIG TIME!!!

If you've been hopping, you've probably ventured here from Laura's Blog

The New IO Products that I used




 I coloured the Hat with my Touch Markers

Here's the colour Map



Added some Glitter, Stickles and Black Ultrafine Flowersoft to make a "Furry Spider"

Why was it a great ending to a not so very good bad day?

Well, it was a not so very good bad day!

But I have to say what keeps me chuggin' along is that it could ALWAYS be worse

What was the great ending?

Well I have to confess that I did not have a card completed at 9:45 last night

I was freakin' and peakin' a little 'cause I was stressed and wondering what I should do.

I had this fun hat coloured already 

Soooo I have to tell you that I worked this card up in under 10 minutes

YEP.... a quickie......a day of quickies!!!

This proves that "quickies" can be pretty darn good!!!

I LOVE the way this sweet little card turned out

Especially on this fun Paper from The Paper Loft

and I hope that you do as well

Be sure to leave comments, to head to the IO blog for rules and to start the hop unless you've already been there, done that!!!

Good luck with the draw. Please come back and visit soon as you will be SURE to see more delicious dies!!!!

Happy Stamping!!!
