Get Ready for Ghost Hunting Day

So, tomorrow is Ghost Hunting Day and it seems appropriate to celebrate it near Halloween. But I gotta ask, if you believe in ghosts, why are you hunting them? Couldn't you somehow pick up a spirit that then follows you home? I admit I do not believe in ghosts really. I love the idea of haunting in the historical sense. I think it'd be cool to see a Victorian ghost, for example. But if I actually believed they were hanging around, I don't think I'd sleep well.

I do enjoy a good ghost hunting show once in a while. I think because the "hunters" always go to scary places and look for those old-time ghosts. You never see a show that tries to get the ghost that just died. I have to admit, I don't care for the Prisoner of War exhibit at the National Museum of The Air Force in Dayton, Ohio...I don't think it's because there are ghosts (though people claim the museum is haunted) but that the sadness and fear are somehow lingering in those items they have on display. Maybe that's a form of haunting, I don't know.

Here's a little ghost I doodled and offered up last year as a free digi, in case you're ready for cuteness on Ghost Hunting Day. Here's a link to a project I made with him.

And here's a card I made that features the free pumpkin (and witch) I also offered last year. I was trying to use up some of my Halloween stash and this little panel popped up, already colored, and I just added the sentiment stickers to finish it off, so it was a quick card.

The other Halloween card I used with my stash is this one, made with the same color palette, orange and teal with purple thrown in too. Everything is a sticker, except some bling that I had to glue on. So fast!

I'm enjoying the fun of playing with all the fun stuff in my Halloween box so don't be surprised if more projects pop up using Halloween stuff.

Happy Friday!

The Ghosties Are Out and About

I have the cutest Ghost in a Jar stamp set from Witt & Sass that I've been using lately. I only have about a week before it's time for the ghost season to be over, so I'll be sharing a lot before then. In this project, I used the ghost from this set, a digi label from a2z Scrapbooking and alphabet bubble dies from C.C. Designs. The pumpkin is a sticker. 

The label is part of a Spooky Label Hero Arts Digi set that you can win by entering this month at a2z...and you don't even have to use Hero Arts stamps, you can use any company and just make something that fits the challenge, Frightfully Fun.

Just one more day to enter my Pooh Bear giveaway, scroll to the last post and comment or head to  my IG account and enter there too!

Happy Wednesday!

Halloween Freebie Friday

Hey, friends, I was doodling (as is my wont while watching the tv) and made this little ghost for Halloween...so I thought I'd share him with you if you're looking for something for a tag or card or even a scrapbook page. Just right click on him and copy and save to your computer.

Of course, I'd love to see if you do create something with him! I decided the handle on his pumpkin should show through his arm...but it's got to be a ghost pumpkin or he couldn't pick it up...or could he?

Just in case you're not into cutesy, I've got this freebie for you today as well. It's from The Graphic Fairy. I think it looks like she's in a library, what do you think?

I love Halloween for no good reason, but crafty Halloween stuff makes me happy and so does decorating and maybe even watching a scary movie, though that last thing depends on my mood. I don't like gross, so that leaves out a lot of horror flicks. I did just watch The Bad Seed (Rob Lowe's version) and Winchester, a historical ghost story, and I didn't have to cover my eyes once! My hubby and sister are hard-core horror fans and her hubby will watch them too but I usually regret them or find something else to do! Here's to a mildly scary Halloween!

Happy Friday!
