Challenge 29 - Halloween

Hello all!  It was great to see so many beautiful submissions to our last challenge.  And now, it's time for our new challenge.  Our theme for the next couple of weeks, and it won't be a surprise, is:

HALLOWEEN

Do you like the challenge graphic?  Last year Jonathan and I (Deborah) went to a pumpkin carving party and Jonathan took this photo featuring some of the finished pumpkins!  It was such fun.

We know that Halloween is not celebrated so much in the UK, but it's huge in the States, and Claire has some of the most fabulous Halloween stamps.  This is your opportunity to get them out and play - go vintage, go scary, go fun, go cute - just go HALLOWEEN!!!  Don't forget you can make a card, tag, 3D project, scrapbook layout - it's up to you.

Once again, I'd like to remind everyone that you MUST use at least one Waltzingmouse stamp, sentiment or digi on your project.  Sadly, we will remove any submission that does not meet the rules. 

Here are some inspiration cards from the team, you can find full details on our blogs:

Challenge 28 - Anything Goes & Some News ....

Good morning all!  Before we get to the challenge details, we have some news to share.  Tara and I would like you to welcome Kathy (Cherwell Leys Alpacs) to the design team.  Like us, Kathy is a big Waltzingmouse Stamps fan, and she has been a regular player since the start of the challenge - often producing two or three cards at a time.  So do drop by and say Hi!  Tara sends her apologies for not getting round and commenting so much, she is still really busy at work.

Today is World Card Making Day - a day to spend at our favourite hobby - crafting and creating cards and objects of beauty.  We decided that we'd keep it easy - the theme is:

ANYTHING GOES


A quick reminder for all players - please remember this is a Waltzingmouse challenge, so you MUST include at least one stamp, sentiment or digi.
