Sneak Peeks Day 4! Blog Hop TONIGHT!

Tonight is the big night!

I am soooooo excited to release these new stamps! This week has been great, and our designers are ROCKING! Here is my sneak for this morning!



The first time I saw this image, I knew what this card was going to be! I used some cute paper and wrapped it in gauze! I cut out two Mummy Rileys and tucked them in the folds. Then, I stamped a Mummy Riley, and used Nesties to cut out the ovals. An airbrush and a copic marker created the soft edge.

I hope you liked this week of sneaks - and make sure to come back tonight at 9 CST! The Fall/Halloween Blog Hop starts then, and so does your chance to win FREE blog candy!!!! Just hop along the designers blogs leaving comments as you go! Each designer will randomly draw a name tomorrw night!

Don't forget, you can also purchase these awesome stamps tonight too! (Don't worry - if you win blog candy and have already ordered....... you can pick something else!)

Inside and Out!


Hi Riley Fans,

Before I get into this week's challenge, have you seen the new Fall and Halloween Time Riley sneak peeks that the Design Team have been showing on their blogs this week for the upcoming release which is happening this Thursday 23rd September. Keep checking their blogs all week for more Fall and Halloween Time fun with Riley!

Ok now onto this week's challenge. This time round it is my (Frances Byrne) turn to host the challenge. For many of the cards I create I often like to decorate the inside of the card as well as the outside. So this week I thought our challenge would be Inside and out ... decorate the inside of your card as well as the outside.

For my card I decided to create a stand up card and I used one of the new Riley's that are going to be released this week. This cutie is called Mummy Riley, I think this image will make great get well cards as well as Halloween cards.


Here is the inside of my card. I used one of the sentiments from the Moose Sayings 1 set.

Once you have created your card/project come back here and place a comment with a link to your card/project to this post so that we can see what you created. If you upload your card/project to SCS don't forget to include the keyword RILEY1810. We can't wait to see what you create!

One of our designers, Therese, has been having an awful time at her house. Ever since the new Twilight Movie frenzy in June, Vampire Riley has pretty much taken over her craft area.

Things were going great until a certain "new Riley" arrived last week. (He who shall be unnamed for now. lol!) It has turned Rileyville upside down. Witch on a Broom Sophie just did a fly over. Things are not pretty. Vampire Riley is furious! He is rounding up all his friends and an attack is planned.

Will he turn all the new Rileys into vampires? Will a certain new unsuspecting Riley hitchhike into the unthinkable? Will Cowboy Riley and his new sidekick be able to hold the mayhem at bay with silver bullets and wooden tomahawks? Will that lost new Riley ever find his friend Frankie in the graveyard?

And last but not least who in the world is making all those " .... Go Home!" signs?

Stayed tuned for "The Riley Diaries - The Vampire Wars" coming to a blog near you..... Monday.
