!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!

It wouldn't be Halloween without posting some cards.

So let's get after it!

Well, that wraps it up until next year.

Don't blink!

It'll be here before we know it!

Some Wickedly Wonderful Cards

Let's just get right after it!

The saying goes "save the best for last"

but I'm putting this one first because it's my favorite.

I had duplicates of this cabinet card.

Believe it or not, but these two women

are distant relatives of mine!

My cousin gifted me with lots of photos

a few years ago and I couldn't not use this one

as a Halloween card.

The majority of my cards take me

about two-three hours to create.

This one, start to finish,

took me three hours and 50 minutes.

Let's round it up and call it four hours.

All of the flowers and twigs and leaves and branches

were die cut and inked and stained and spritzed
to hug the broom.

Do you love this card?

Or does it frighten you?

This card is pretty simple.

Not many "ingredients" but I think it packs a punch

in the frightful department.

Purple is the new black as far as witches go.

"Her immortal

beauty casts

a bewitching

spell of

foreboding."

Scary and creepy man and doggy skeletons.

A sweet card

for a sweet six-month old little girl. 

What two-year old little boy

doesn't like all things creepy and crawly.

And Disney? 

It's what all five-year old little girls love.

Pinks, purples, hearts

and a selection of brooms and witches capes and hats!

House Haunted!!!

Did you notice that I switched up the words?

Looks to me like this house truly is haunted! 

This dude was fun to work with.

His face just was too kind looking for

a Halloween card.

So I let him peek through the skeleton mask,

making sure his beard hung below it.

Actually, this isn't really even a card.

It's a tag, leaving room on the back

for some frightful words and a signature.

And, of course, the birds! 

I'm hoping all of Carolyn's goblins enjoyed their cards.

That's it for this year, folks!

Now go dive into that stash of candy

and enjoy your Halloween.

Trick or Treat!

Double, Double Toil and Trouble; Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble

Well I'll be darn!

Halloween is happening again this year!

Know what that means?

Halloween cards!

I'm kinda partial to this one.

Not sure why

but perhaps it's the bird and bats.

And what's not to love about this one?

All witches don't have cackle and be scary.

I'm betting this witch isn't scary either.

Now this image is just a little scary.

I certainly wouldn't want to be out on that boat

with a night sky like that!

How sweet is this young-un

popping out of the pumpkin? 

Mask or no mask,

I still recognize Snoopy, don't you? 

Another sweet witch.

And another scary card!

Here's hoping tomorrow night

is FANG-tastic! 

October 31

We all know what happens on the 31st of October, right?

Of course we do.
It's time for the witches and goblins,
black cats, pumpkins and candy.

It's Halloween!!!!!

On Halloween Eve,

somebody special had a birthday.

This image is actually a tin type photo.

No idea how it happened to make it

into my supply arsenal, but there it was.

When I saw it,

I thought she looked rather "witch-y"

so I plopped a witches hat on her head

and here she is - all decked out

for a Halloween Eve birthday.

And of course ... some Halloween cards.

And a special chocolate candy bar

for my sweet little neighbor, Miss Jaylen.

Be safe tonight as you beg for candy

and Happy Halloween.

Today it's all about the witches (and not!)

I am guessing some people will be

knocking on doors tonight.
Or perhaps they'll just be at their doors
handing out treats.

Will any of them be dressed up like a witch?

"Everyone deserves

the chance to fly."

"My angel wings are

in the repair shop ...

So today I'm riding the

broomstick!"

I just love the legs and feet drawn on these pumpkins.

Sooooooo witch-like.

This little cutie is trying to decide which

broom she'll ride tonight.

How sweet that this little witch

is taking the time to sit on the steps

and blow bubbles.

What's not to love about this sweet witch
riding her broom in front of the harvest moon?

Did you notice that I used

some of the night flyers that

Karen Bailey sent to me?

Still have some left over for next year.

Thanks, my friend.

Molly's mamma celebrates her birthday today.
Keeping with the Halloween spirit,
her card has pumpkins - no witches.

Happy Halloween, friends.
