Halloween Fun!

     What an unusual October we have had in the Pacific Northwest this year. We started with rain and then the fog came.   It gets sunny during the afternoon and then the fog comes back. Now, we can't get rid of it.    Most days, it's been foggy all day with a few days getting sun by the late afternoon.

     However all the fog  and damp air has given  me a great excuse to stay in the house  and craft instead of working in the yard.

     My friend Joyce and I have been busy making Halloween Cards and trying to use up all that paper we bought last year.   So here's a sample of some of our cards.  

 This card is so fun with the little monster stamped across the card  and colored in different colors. The stamp is from Sweet Stamp Shop's   "Out in Space"  Set.  The paper is from Jillibean Soup from a few years ago.  Love how this card is so fun and I decorated then envelope with matching little monsters.


   
 As I didn't have a lot of the DCWV green & black polka dotted paper left over from the Bewitched collection, I decided to stretch it out by using it with some other papers from that collection and I weaved plaid backgrounds for several cards.  Again the little monsters are made from the Out  In Space Set from Sweet Stamp Shop.  However their antennas and feet are the left over pieces from a punch a friend had.


 
My last two cards are made with Sweet Stamp Shop's Haunted House set  and Clear Snap's Color Box Frost White Archival Pigment Chalk Ink.   I wanted this card to have a soft chalkboard look so that it wouldn't scare a two-year old.  She's going to love this card with it's haunted house and picket fence.


      






Along with the cards, I've been buy decorating their  envelopes for  mailing to my favorite little monsters.





Until we craft again!
