Additcted to Stamps and More! Theme Challenge #3 {Halloween}

Hello friends!  Here is it October and my first official card as a DT member for Addicted to Stamps and More! Theme Challenge #3 {Halloween}.  I have admit that Halloween has never been one of my favorite holidays - especially from the aspect of the spoooky, dark and sssscary.  And...I'm not a huge fan of candy.  Believe it or not, I can make a candy bar last a week.  When I was little I would still have candy in my pumpkin on Valentine's day and would use it as bargaining (aka bribes) with my "candy crazy" sisters - such a little devil I was - lol.  Now...give me a cookie and I inhale it - that's my weakness :o).  But... I do love to see little kids dressed up in their cute costumes  and I do love to make cute, whimsical halloween cards such as the one I have to share with you today. I kept it kind of simple this time as I was short on time this week.  (P.S.  I apologize for the fuzzy photo.  My little camera battery ran out and I had to use my camera phone - it doesn't focus that well from up close). 

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit today - I'm sure glad that you did!  Many of our DT members at Addicted to Stamps and More! don't celebrate Halloween where they live and  yet the cards this week that each of them has made are just really wonderful!  You would never guess that they aren't halloween experts :o) Pop into their blogs for a visit and leave a little love note while you are at it - we love to get mail! I just can't wait to see what you come up with and visit your blog too - so go get busy! Til next time - Hugs and Happy Crafting!!

Supplies (Stampin Up! except as noted): Cardstock - Tangerine Tango (base), Basic Black and Very Vanilla.  DSP - Howlstooth and Scaringbone (from the Holiday mini catalog) - cut in one in strips varying in length at 3 1/2", 4 1/4" and 4 1/2". Stamps - Googly Ghouls (Spider with the Googly eyes added) and Spooky Bingo Bits (Boo!).  Circle punches used are the 1 3/4", 1 3/8" and 1 1/4".  Black sparklers from my stash of stuff.

  10. I really love your cute little spider Danielle - I guess he's not supposed to be so cute, but the googly eyes just give me a giggle. Great card, particularly from someone who isn't a huge fan of Halloween.

    So great to have you join the team. x
