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!

Too Cute to Spook

I don't know if you're like me, but I have a ton of goodies saved up and could probably never use all my craft supplies if I live another 50 years! Well, maybe if I crafted every day, I could, but you get what I'm saying—I love my pretty stuff! :)

So, I went into my box of Halloween goodies and just started playing around and came up with two cards that used my older supplies. And just so you understand how old, these cute chipboard pieces were made by Imaginisce and I don't even think they're a company anymore...think they merged with We R Memory Supplies or something. At any rate, you can't get them. However, I love how these turned out and that I actually used my supplies!

The ghost used to be a sticker, but I had to use new adhesive...lol. The bats are flocked and from a sheet of paper from, like, a hundred years ago. I only had small pieces of the paper left and I think I used it up on this card! The orange sequin trim was from the Target Dollar Spot and the star paper is from Doodlebug Design.

The leaves and vampire are from the same Imaginisce collection, the words are stickers that didn't stick anymore on their own and the flocked pumpkin is actually a new item from the Dollar Tree this year. The paper was from a Halloween win forever ago.

If you're looking for free vintage images, you can head here to Artfully Musing. Some are Halloween and some aren't, but they're all cool.

Happy Friday!
