Happy Haunting
Hello! Jen Kotas is here today with three cards featuring the Happy Haunting Collection. I love making cute spooky cards and they don’t have to be just for Halloween.

Betterpress Halloween: Watercolor Backgrounds
Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I am back with another guest post on the Spellbinders blog. For my projects today, I’m working with the Betterpress Halloween collection. I made fun watercolor backgrounds playing with Distress inks and Distress Oxide inks. I love how they compliment the Betterpress plates.
