Boo!

You may want to click on the picture for a closer view.

I've been having lots of fun with my new High Hopes stamps. As you can see I have dressed up Albert for Halloween with his witches hat and broomstick. His hat was cut on my Cricut Expression. I've used a mixture of mediums for this card and have used my Prismacolor pencils on Albert and copic sketch pens on Frog Prince. These stamps are just so versatile and I have removed my Frog Princes crown for this spooky scene. I stamped Albert's hand again so I could pop his broomstick underneath to look like he is holding it. I love these K&Company papers and have added a little bat and pumpkin brad to complete the scene. I would like to enter my spooky creation into this weeks Everybody-Art challenge. Their topic this week is "Halloween". Even if you don't have time to play you have to check out the DT's amazing creations!

High Hopes "Frog Prince"

Bat - Lizzie Anne Designs - Part of the Little Bit "Spooked" set.

Karen Foster Halloween keepsake brad (part of a set)
Did you spot the picture at the top of my two little trick or treaters..? This picture was taken last halloween. Their t-shirts are just so cute and I hope they will fit again this year. My Nan and Grandad bought them back from Florida and they have Hello Kitty on her broomstick and when you tap them they light up! Did you spot that Dolly has had a fright! he he

I have a few cards to make over the next couple of days but can't show you until early next week. See you Sunday with my High Hopes challenge 2 creation!

What a great little scene you have made, this is fantastic just waiting for my stamps to arrive, (I know I said I wouldn't order any but how could I resist after seeing your great creations). like the way you mixed your colour mediums on this card.
The Girls look so cute in their halloween T Shirts and hats and I love the sound of that broomstick, makes me wish I was a child again, still I suppose I could just ring on the door with no make up on that would frighten anyone
Hugs to you all
