Labor of Love Blog Hop

Good Morning all!  If you are looking for the Stampin Daisies Challenge Post, click here.
I am soooo excited for this blog hop.  I just love all things fall and especially Halloween.  I'm not really into the dressing up or the candy but I love the community of it all. I love seeing the neighbors out with their kids each year and kind of having one last hurrah before the snow and cold force us all to go inside.  This blog hop is such an amazing hop.  What Ellen and Madison are doing for these kids is amazing!  I am so happy to participate.  If you came here from Bobbie Jo over at Sweet Sassy Diva then you are in the right place.  If you want to start from the beginning, check out Ellen's blog over at Card Monkey.
Okay, onto my banner.  There are a lot of photos :-)  This banner is very similar to one I made last year that I loved so I thought why not make another and just change it up a bit?
 I used my Cricut Mini Monsters Cartridge to cut out all my Monsters:)
 The font is from my Plantin Schoolbook Cartridge

 The little face on my spider is from the Peachy Keen Everyday Face Collection
 This face is from the Peachy Keen Pumpkin Face Parts
 This little guy is from Karber, it's a digital stamp that was given to us for this hop.  I got try out my new Copics for it and digital stamping!  So fun!
I used various embossing folders on all the squares to add some dimension to my banner.  I hope you like it!

This banner is adorable. I always think horizontal and this is totally unique and beautiful. I particularly like that it's so clean cut and easy to see. Great job! This hop has been a lot of fun. I have enjoyed the prep work.

Jessica, this is great. I like that you chose to orient your banner vertically instead of horizontally. Very cute. Even though your spider had a "mean monster" look on her face, she is adorable. Kinda like my 15 month old...LOL. Thanks for sharing. Ü Cynthia V. vandyzfam@sbcglobal.net
