I don't know WHY I love making Halloween cards so much!  Maybe it brings me back to a time when life was much simpler... running down the streets to the NEXT yummy treat!  Laughing and giggling with my hobo friend, while I dawn a sheet as a ghost!

It was just FUN... so is making FUN Halloween cards!  The bright colors against the black night... the spooky house with the dim lights inside...  or maybe it's the glow of the FULL moon that grabs your attention.  I put all that and MORE into this Spooky Halloween Scary Skies card using the Spooky Halloween Bundle from Stampin' Up! 

 Don't you just love Mixed Media cards?  Sometimes it is a bit much though, so I created this "Mixed Media Made Simple!" card!  But WAIT... there's more!  I also incorporated Dollar Tree ribbon, coloring with a Stampin' Up! Copper Clay ink pad!

I will be busy perusing the NEW Sept - December Mini Catalog this week, but wanted to share this adorable card and tutorial!
