On a dark, dark night


You all seemed to enjoy your photographic trip with me to Canterbury in my last post. Thanks for all the great comments you left, it truly is a stunning city and it should be on your bucket list.

Yes tomorrow is Halloween and the last day of October. We don't celebrate it much in our household as my kids were too big when trick or treating started to take off a little here in the UK but I still love to buy them some Halloween goodies.

This year I found these fun bits.



I put them into a bag for each of them and tied them with twine
I then tied each "couple" together with a hand made Halloween tag.
You will have seen the tag on the right on my blog a few weeks ago, the one on the left is new and is my card challenge entry for today. It is also a my DT Guest Design card for Nicecrane and uses another of the fab coloured images from the Halloween and kids colour sheet.


 Here is my tag in close up. Those pumpkins are such fun aren't they.
The leaf and lace edge die cuts are Cheery Lynn and the branch is one I won from Marianne. The fun sentiment is from the Halloween Grunge sentiment set by Nicecrane and can be bought here. My tag was made from that same single sheet of Inky play which I made in my studio.....this photo was taken when I was still putting together my other autumn inky projects which you will recognize over the last month.  I had one last piece of the distress ink backing card I made left to create this tag ;0)
I love seeing people's creative space so I thought I would share mine in my studio on an autumn day a few weeks ago. I have used up all my autumn hand made papers ready for winter and Christmas to take over.

I would like to enter my pumpkin tag into the following challenges;

Bye for now,

  13. Your tags are so pretty and old fashioned looking! Halloween is very commercial and tacky here for the most part. Of course I loved it as a child, and we always made homemade costumes, and even popped corn to give to the trick or treaters.

    Your photos from Canterbury are gorgeous also! Thanks for sharing your corner of the world.
