Update: Top Five Winner at Halloween Crafts All Year #8!
Welcome to my blog. It's been a long time since I participated in a card challenge. Sometimes life gets in the way and I was unable to get back to my cardmaking until now. As a Design Team member at Double Trouble Challenges, I have been working behind the scenes, although not creating cards for specific challenges.
So here I am - ready to go with Double Trouble Challenge #149, Scrapper's Trick or Treat. This challenge closes on Sunday, October 15, 2023. I am not a celebrant of Halloween but I keep a few supplies in my stash for challenges and I pass out candy to the neighbor children.
All the details of our challenge are on the challenge blog, but to summarize:
Thing 1 (required): Create an original background for your project. I created a mix of colors using watercolor crayons.
.
Thing 2 (optional): Link your project to our partner's challenge. Our partner is "Park Hopping - My Happy Place". I selected the celebration at Walt Disney World, "Not So Scary".
Thing 3 (optional): Decorate your original background for Halloween. Using seasonal paper with images of candy, I also included ephemera - the ghost, a spider, and the sentiment, "Eeek".
I am also entering my card into the following challenges:
Thank you for visiting my blog. I appreciate your comments.
