I will be sharing today's Halloween make on Leigh's page...

The first thing I want to show you today is an 'inchie' - this is an ATC featuring inch square shapes.

I started with a brown rectangle matted with a background made with Brushos through a tree stencil - I think this MAY be my last scrap of these backgrounds that I made a couple of weeks ago!!

Then I used a scrap of alcohol ink background and the Tim Holtz alcohol lift pad with a Stampin' Up spiders web stamp.

I then used a 1 inch square punch to punch some squares and added them to the ATC.
Finally I used my favourite spider stamp (very old from Lost Coast Designs) to stamp a few spiders, using alcohol ink from the strip again.

Can you see the spider hiding top right?

Are you waiting for the winner of the current SPOT PRIZE?

I asked...

From which poem does the following verse come and who is the author?

"Friends, Romans, and countrymen, lend me your ears!"

   (They were all of them fond of quotations:

So they drank to his health, and they gave him three cheers,

   While he served out additional rations).

I was very pleased to have so many correct entries!

I'm afraid some of you did fall into my little trap...

"Friends, Romans, and countrymen, lend me your ears!"


 is the first line of a speech by Mark Antony in the play Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare.

But the whole verse printed above is from

The Hunting Of The Snark -  a Poem by Lewis Carroll

and this is the poem that I am including in my main 31DOH project!

Anyway I put the names of all the people with correct answers in the hat and got my independent adjudicator to pick one out...

And the winner is

So Valerie Snaith - please email your address and your prize will be in the post...

Before I finish today, one more ATC

You'll probably see this little guy in my main project now and then - as a Beaver is one of the characters in the poem.

My ATC is brown card, then marbled background with the Beaver embossed on this in black. I added three gems and a die cut letter B for Beaver. The stamp is wooden-backed from Stamps Direct.

Watch out for the next SPOT PRIZE...

Happy Hopping!
