Halloween revisited

I meant to add the card in this post to my final 31DOH post -
 but what with one thing and another
I couldn't get it sorted...

We have had awful trouble with the Internet for days now...

Fortunately I had scheduled my last couple of posts!

Thought I would just share our Halloween with you first...
my sister's 65th Birthday coincided with Halloween this year -
 so we have been down to Devon for a huge party!!

First we had to help...

with my sister's bat wing cloak!


with the decorations...


My husband and I have done a lot of AM-DRAM so we needed a swooping ghost -
 we have always used a lot of fishing wire!! 


We dressed up...


My husband and daughter were mad scientists... 

We helped with the food...


We danced...


A good time was had by all!!

But to get back to my card...
First I made a little ATC using the Halloween poem illustrated - it made me think of 
'Things that Go Bump in the Night'


I used scraps of paper from Best Creation Inc. and orange card.
I will link this to Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge

This then became a feature of my main card.


A white card base matted and layered with more orange card and Best Creation Inc. paper
and the image is Ike's freebie for the current challenge at Ike's World
I will link this card to that challenge!

I will also link this post to Open Minded Crafting Challenges - Halloween or Dressing Up!

Happy Crafting!

      Mo...they are all Best Creation Inc...I bought them in Derby from the craft shop in the Market Hall (Mary Rose Crafts). I have looked on Best Creation's websites but cannot find them - maybe discontinued?? I ahve enjoyed using them this Halloween though!

    I have to say, fabulous choice to spend Halloween in Devon, but I am biased haha!

    Your card is brilliant, I love it and what genius idea to put an ATC on the card, I always wondered what to do with them but that is just so clever. Thank you for joining us at Ike's World Challenges
