First of all I would like to say I have been praying for all affected by Hurricane Sandy and I hope and pray for your safety. What a tragedy.
Well, it is finally here. I love this scary spooky holiday and it was even a full moon last night. I live by myself out in the country it seems senseless to decorate so I don't do it anymore. I used to bake and make all sorts of goodies. Ha, I haven't Zumba'd since I got home and need to keep it going. I will get back to it when I get caught up. I got my laundry and yard work done last night. YAY! So, tell me what memories you have as a kid from Halloween? I was reminiscing yesterday trying to remember and my best and favorite memory I think was when our old neighbor guy that was always playing pranks on all of us came dressed up himself and came Trick Or Treating at our house. He was so funny and was always a great man until he passed away. God rest your soul Mr. Meyers and thanks for the fond memories.
This is a card I stamped for you yesterday to wish you all a Happy Halloween! Easy Peasy card and I had some of the ribbon that was available last Sale-A-Bration so it is retired but I couldn't resist using it. I used the Spider Web EF and the Apothecary Accents Framelits to cut out the images. the Wisteria Wonder one I added a Black Glimmer Brad and the Tangerine Tango one I just tore the bottom off and added the curly ribbon to it.
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Toxic Treats
Card Stock: Wisteria Wonder, Basic Black, Tangerine Tango
Ink: Basic Black
Tools and Accessories: Big Shot, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Spider Web Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Neutrals Glimmer Brads, Paper Piercing Tool, Dimensionals.

Hi there, okee dokee you know what I have been doing today. LOL! Yes, I want to get this posted tonight for the Dynamic Duo's because tomorrow I work late and have to do tomatoes. I didn't feel like it tonight. I decided to do this River Rock and Black Dynamic Duo Color Challenge and make a Halloween card. I know out the Serene Silhouettes stamp set. Go figure, huh? Eek my mind is warped. LOL! I used 3 sets on this card and after I stamp the inside it will be 4. This stamp reminds me of that Alfred Hitchcock movie. Did you ever see it? The Birds. Oh man, I can remember it clear as mud. When I was a teenager I was babysitting and that movie came on and I watched it and I was so darn scared I couldn't wait for the parents to come home so I could get home to get under my covers and hide. Spooky!
My base card stock is Basic Black and then I layered a piece of River Rock that I had textured with the Lacy Brocade EF. Then I tied some Black Scallop Dots Ribbon around it with the dot side down. I cut out a shape from the Window Frames Collection of Framelits and textured that also with the Lacy Brocade EF. I stamped the Serene Silhouette stamp in black ink onto River Rock Card Stock and punched it out with the 2-1/2" Circle Punch. Then I stamped the Eeek from the Spooky Bingo Bits and attached that to the Window Frame die cut. Then I stamped the witches and goblins stamp from Toxic Treats and cut it out with the Apothecary Accents Framelits but once again it was to little so I moved the bottom of the framelit up and put it through again centering it into the framelit. It made a cute tag don't you think? I used the Paper Piercing Tool and Mat and made a hole for my Black Brad. I sponged around that piece and the circle and called it good.
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Serene Silhouettes, Spooky Bingo Bits, Toxic Treats
Card Stock: Basic Black, River Rock
Inks: Basic Black
Tools: Big Shot, Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Window Frames Collection Framelits, Apothecary Accents Framelits, 3/16" Brads in Neutrals, 1/2" Scallop Dots Ribbon, Dimensionals.
Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely Monday. Dang, I hope I don't have nightmares now thinking about that movie. Hugs, Bev
