Day three of Mojo Monday's 100th Sketch Anniversary! I love the new "Cast a Spell" Halloween Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! I have already gone through my entire first package and need to hurry up and buy more for all the Halloween ideas swimming around in my head!
I have to admit that growing up in New England, I was never a big Halloween fan. It was usually cold and miserable (and dark!) by the end of October and yet we would bundle up our kids in 15 layers of warm clothing and literally "stuff" them into their costumes to go Trick or Treating. I don't remember it being a whole lot of fun. Then we moved to Florida. Halloween here is usually about 80 degrees and my neighborhood turns into one HUGE tailgate party. Everyone moves their grills and lanai furniture into their driveways...there is food and drinks and lots of treats for the kids. No doorbells to ring because everyone is outside. And although I soooo miss the hayrides to pick pumpkins and apples and the colors of fall in New England, Halloween is probably my favorite time of year here.
Enough nostalgia for tonight, on to my card! Pretty simple stamp design...I used the Haunting Jumbo Wheel from Stampin' Up! If I was going to do it again I would heat emboss it for more depth but I love the way it turned out with the sketch and the Cast a Spell DSP. The Happy Halloween sentiment is from the All Holidays set and the Boo Brads I found in my never ending stash of goodies. I'm on a bit of an inked edges kick at the moment so once again I used my Stampin' Sponges for some added color and depth around my edges.
Come on back tomorrow for day 4!
Thanks for stoppin' by!
