We are planning to hold a fun Halloween event at the library on Saturday. The children will be making a 'spooky book' full of pictures, spells and the most ghoulish, gruesome Halloween jokes that we can find! We've asked the kids to come in costume and I will confess that I am looking forward to dusting off my witches hat and donning my stripey Halloween stockings to join in the fun!
This little card is for my work buddy Lozzie B. She is such a fabulous, fun person and is always my 'wing man' whenever we do anything crazy at the library. Our Halloween 2008 karaoke rendition of 'It's raining men' is the stuff of legends!
I used that cute, huffy cat stamp from Eat Cake Graphics and went totally OTT with the distressing as I wanted him disappearing off into a dark Halloween night. There is a little bit of Stampin' Up cuteness in each lower corner and the little punched border is stamped with a lovely, new Hero Arts cling stamp. In case you can't read the sentiment it says: 'and if you think I'm getting on that broomstick again after what happended last year...'I can't resist entering my huffy friend for the Allsorts Challenge #24, which is 'Furry friends' and The ABC Challenge: 'F for Flying'!
If you are looking for a lovely Halloween themed book for younger children I'm going to recommend 'Room on the Broom' by Julia Donaldson, author of 'The Gruffalo'.
Halloween hugs to you all!
