Happy Halloween

Hi my friends, it's the last day of October, All Hallow's Eve, the night when the ghosts and ghouls come out to play. I haven't been very productive in the Halloween makes department this year because the cubbyhole has been turned into a Christmas Card mass production factory but I'll tell you about that in a minute. Instead, I'm sharing some of my favourite Halloween makes from the archives, click on the links for all the details.






R.I.P Mr Undertaker

and finishing off with the most recent



OK, back to the mass production tale. My Grandson Brodie is fundraising for his World Challenge 2021 trip to Machu Picchu and I've been helping out making packs of cards for him to sell at a local Christmas Craft Fair. The Merry Misfits stamp set from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous is one of my favourites from this year's Christmas collection but probably wasn't the wisest choice for mass production involving lots of masking, stamping and colouring.
But hey ho, once I'd completed all the stamping, there was no turning back, it was time to put on my girl knickers and get stuck in and who knew that the Tim Holtz Travel Glass Media Mat would make the perfect "sits on my knee comfortably" colouring/matting and layering, while watching TV, work station and the kitchen table would become the google-eye drying station.
By the time I reached the finishing line, I was every bit as googly eyed as these adorable characters so note to self: keep it simple for the next batch.
Have some spooktacular fun tonight whether you're out and about trick or treating or just snuggled up on the sofa enjoying a Halloween film and some candy treats.
