Hello and welcome to October and a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash. Along with fall and the Canadian Thanksgiving October brings HALLOWEEN, so we would like to see your spooky, cute, scary Halloween cards. This is my second spooky card and I used a favourite "sheetload" sketch I would still like to get a oouple more done, perhaps when I get all my Halloween stamps and dies in the same place.

Hey Ghoulfriend
Two sheets of 6x6 patterned paper made two cards, my stash is a pack of 6 stamps from Hero Arts, 2001 you can see them in the picture. I am positive these were my first Halloween stamps. Of course Monica looks cute in her flower costume this stamp is dated 2008, the patterned paper is a Halloween pack from Bo Bunny I think as there was no cover so I've had it for a long time. Both the image and sentiment are popped up more than I usually would but they are not being mailed this year due to Canada Post being on strike for the second fall in a row.
Inside was finished with a couple of the stamped imaged and left over patterned paper made into flags. I will add the inside sentiment when I'm home.

Thanks for stopping by today and check out the rest of the Halloween cards on the Main Blog.

Spooky
Hello and welcome to my blog and a new month, October and you know what that means...........witches and goblins, bats and ghosts so for the month of October the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers are helping you get some Spooky cards made, don't forget to read the updated rules on the main blog then add your creation to the gallery. Here is your invitation from Edna on our behalf.
Lee has outdone herself with this visual so we hope you will join the fun.
Here is my not very snarky offering, I had more plans but I haven't made the transition to crafting at home from the cottage and forgot the items I had planned on using but as you know every crafter does not have one idea she/he usually has many options so I found this cute Halloween cat set, coloured a couple (my markers came home) and decided this one looked a little more "Spookier", the sentiments are from the same set. First time using the 3D skull/web embossing folder, I'm already seeing more ideas for the folder.
Closer look at the EF and the Halloween cat.
