If zombies are your favorite Halloween companion, invite this cute girl by Pandora to go trick or treat tagging with you.  She comes with a variety of layers that include hair colors, optional blood decor for her dress and more.  I have paired her with a fun and fabulous zombie style kit by Wicked Princess called "Freya's Heart".  You can get Trick or Treat Zombie at S&CO and the Freya's Heart kit at The PSP Project.

Below are some tag examples showing use of the tube.

She's hot and she will tempt you to do very, very wicked things...

GraphFreaks is gearing up for the Halloween season, and kicking it off is the beautiful Lilith Louche.  This sinfully seductive devilette comes in full size with two wonderful close-ups and a gorgeous background to play with.  also available is an absolutely fabulous match kit created by Disturbed Scraps, appropriately called "Sin deep, my wicked Lilith" - several papers and lots of versatile elements to play with.

you can purchase Lilith here and Gaby's kit here.

LOL)  if you are as eager as I am for cooler days, sweater weather and falling leaves, you will like these quick pages, made from the great Wicked Princess kit "Fall-ever Friends".  this kit is adorable, with a great palette that includes brown, dark wine purple, green, golds and oranges.  It has 15 papers and 41 elements, with a nice variety of frames, fall flowers, leaves, a cute teddy bear and more.  I hope you enjoy using them!

wow, it's been awhile for quick pages, hasn't it?  I have been so busy with tutorials and branching out to PTU clusters and a collab or two that I forgot all about the QPs!  But now I have some new ones to offer up.  and I begin with the awesome Wicked Princess kit "Elisa".  this kit is both girly and gothy all in one, with 20(!) great papers and over 100 elements of all kinds, ranging from glittery high heels to punk jewelry and lots of awesome stuff in between.  I have made each paper a little bit different--one girly, one punk and one a bit of both.  I hope you enjoy using them!
