Happy Halloween!!

Hello,

It's Halloween and we can't wait. The pumpkins are craved, the candy is that the door and we are ready for the trick or treater's. I'm having mixed feeling this year as I'm excited for the day but I'm also sad as Emily has decided not to go out this year.Just another sign that she is growing up before our eyes. I'm looking forward to starting a new tradition of her helping me hand out the treats!!

I actually made this card back in the summer and have been saving it for today. I used the candy from the hostess stamp set "A Cherry on Top" and markers to make my Halloween Candy! I love how the spider is sneaking down to get one!!

Supplies used on this card:

Stamps: Wicked Cool, Wacky Wishes and A Cherry on Top Hostess Sets

Ink: Old Olive, and Staz On Ink

Card Stock: Pumpkin Pie, Black and Whisper White

Accessories: Big Shot Machine, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Pumpkin Pie Brads, Paper Piercer Tool, Essential Paper Piercer Pack, Polka Dot Designer Series Pack, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Chocolate Chip markers.
