Hi again, this creation is made with all digi's! Backing paper is from Donna, haunted house from Spyders Corner but unfortunately i can't credit her as it seems the blog no longer exists :( i hope that it isn't true...) the pumpkin and the tag with a black cat onit is from the very generous Marion who very kindly gives a way digi's 'thankyou'. Made some little bats which are attached to some strong strips of acetate. Those of you visit regularly will remember i had a mishap with another creation, the printer running lines across...so here we are again with the problem resolved with my white sakura pen, coloured with promarkers.

Good evening to you all!

Created my own template to fit in an A6 enevelope so it's fairly small but I've managed to fit all the elements i wanted on there.

Hi again...there's a story with a bit of a mishap behind this card...I made it yesterday using the fab papers from Polka doodles cd sprinkles of kraft, same paper from the same printed off sheet remnants...everything was made up, went to photograph it, looked once at the pics and then a second and third time only for them all to reveal a lilac line running across several times, wasn't evident to my naked eyes or maybe i need specs. These fab digi cameras show it all!!! So since yesterday i've been pondering away, shall i scrap the whole thing, replace the backing paper by taking off and bending all the little pieces....no, no, no...get the white sakura pen and draw in a wiggly line over the nasty print lines. There we have it!!!

I used my new Martha Stewart fence punch (prize from Simon Says Stamp from the Creative Card Crew win...'many thanks'), brown is from my grocers from the 'banana box', image is ofcourse LOTV w/coloured, some glamour dust added, couple of stamped sentiments, ribbon from Crafty Ribbons, love these thin gingham ones.
