I'm back to the land of crafting. The last guests left this morning, and I will be recovering and cleaning up from Sarah's Bat Mitzvah weekend for some time. I hope to have pictures before long, but the quick recap is that it was a wonderful and festive weekend, with non stop celebrating and visiting with friends and family.
I snuck up to my craft room for a bit today, to try to catch up on what I have been missing. When I saw that it was the Cloud9 Blog Hop, I knew I didn't want to miss it, like I did last month.
Isn't that a fun inspiration photo? Since I am sorely lacking in WPlus9 stamps, I had to get a bit creative with my interpretation. I focused on the black and orange, the word "BOO", and the theme of Halloween. In my house, Halloween is all about the candy, so I used my A Pocketful: Valentine set to make this sweet Halloween card:
The tree in the photo is represented by the wood grain impression plate, and the spider web is from my friend Carol from Crafty Magra.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: A Pocketful: Valentine
Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, Smokey Shadow, Orange Zest patterns, book print
Ink: Distress Black Soot
Other: A Pocketful: Valentine Die, PTI Alphabet & PTI Spider Web die
Thanks for Visiting
Halloween IS all about the candy...
