When I saw The Card Concept challenge I had to have a little think as these are not colours that I would normally work with, and I like making cards that I will use ,well if they turn out ok :) and not just fit in to a challenge.
In Scotland Hallow'een and trick and treating are becoming much more popular now but we don't actually exchange cards yet in fact I all I can remember doing is dookin for apples (bobbing),and eating my dads homemade toffee apples, and my poor dad had to make lanterns out of a turnip or swede .-ouch - pumpkins are sooo much easier :) and we didn't go round the neighbours or have even have a party as such... ah those were the days hee he.
Then light bulb moment, because of the moving of rooms it makes it so much easier to see my stamps and I saw this one from SU called Giggle Greetings that I bought a couple of months ago and had yet to use.It has a cat,(hallow'eeny), stamped in black and coloured orange , matted on orange card stock (SU pumpkin pie!)on a white card base and think it would fit in the Clean and Simple catergory.
Ok as you can hear I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself but don't you just love it when things come together like that :)
Just noticed that I can join in too over at the Time Out blog as their challenge is for ..
STAMPING with the optional twist of APPLES
Off to do a bit of commenting as being laid up with this leg means no housework for me -YAY!! and with a well placed stool for my leg I'm able to carry on cardmaking,and with the rain batering on the window bliss!
Thanks for looking
