Our Craft Lounge Sneak Peeks - Day 1

Hello friends! This week is going to be a fun one for me - not only do both Carter *and* Courtney head back to preschool (no, I can't believe my baby girl will be going to preschool now - but I'm also THRILLED my baby girl will be going to preschool now, LOL!) but I also get to spend the next few days helping the Our Craft Lounge team introduce their latest 2009 Holiday Release! YAY!! There will be sneak peeks today through Wednesday, and then on release day Thursday there will be a big blog hop, where one of *EVERY* new set will be given away!! FYI, that's *31* sets! I'm so excited about the sets I get to feature. First up today is Spooky Nights. I looooove Halloween, and OCL has several ADORABLE new Halloween sets coming out!! YAY! Isn't this tree the cutest?? I will admit, though, that it was not easy to cut out. I worked on it the entire time I was watching The Next Food Network Star finale last night! Well ok, I wasn't completely focused on the cutting...! You can't really tell in the photo, but after I cut it out I popped it up on foam tape and then coated it with Starry Night Stickles, so it has a deep purple shimmer to it. The layout of the card was inspired by Jen's latest Sketch For You To Try. I just love the spooky little eyes peeking out from the tree! Wanna see a little more of this set? Head on over to check out what Debbie and Randi did with it. And make sure to visit the OCL Blog or OCL Forum to find out where you can preview the other ten sets we are featuring today. And finally, check back tomorrow when I'll have some sweet furry Christmas goodness to show you...! Until then... I have big plans to spend my first kid-free morning with a visit to the gym and then an appointment with my Stamp Cave - not to stamp, to CLEAN!! Thanks for stopping by today! :-)
