Halloween........

Hi everyone, as the end of October (already?) gets closer our new theme at Try It On Tuesday is of course 'Halloween'. It's not my favourite time these days, but when my children were little it seemed more fun...carving pumpkins, making suitably spooky costumes and going out in the dark with torches. These days the Halloween aisles in supermarkets have increasingly scary items for sale, not always for children, and seem to take up a lot of space on the shelves. Oh Well!!!

I hope you like the Design Team's take on Halloween, they are quite varied!

I made a journal page

I had a mould for a spider's web that I used as a stamp. I added some torn paper with a stamped and coloured pumpkin and a cute black cat, both from a freebie set. I stamped a large spider on tissue and drew in a few more onto the web and also added some bats. The word 'Boo' is as scary as I get!

Even though it isn't my favourite time I shall look forward to seeing how you represent 'Halloween' this time at TIOT.

Thanks for looking, Chris

  2. Our Halloween store shelves are also filled with more spooky things than I remember from years back. One thing that is popular are these GIANT (like 10 or 12 feet tall) skeletons. People buy them for a lot of money and put them in their yards, but then they have no place to store them. Anyhow, I like you page-it is the perfect mix of Halloween symbols. Have a super rest of your day Chris. hugs-Erika

  3. I was never a big Halloween fan even as a kid. Not like so many of my friends were. The people next door to Dagan and Leah have skeletons all over the yard including one that is nearly as tall as their house!

  4. I love how you created this page Chris, the web looks amazing, but spiders give me the shivers.

  6. Fabulous page Chris, love the spiders web, although I hate spiders. I've just been stamping those pumpkins up for the twins to colour - they don't like the scary stuff.
