If you aren't ready for Halloween just quite yet,
this party will get you there in no time!
I am so glad to be participating in the Halloween Party being sponsored by
A Fanciful Twist.

After you read through my posts, I hope you will 'hop on your broom and fly over' to A Fanciful Twist where the party actually begins...a complete list of participants awaits you there and if I were you, I would plan on getting a nice cup of whatever 'brew' is your favorite and settle in to
enjoy the party.

These fun projects are from a Halloween series I have been working on using a number of the wonderful clip art pieces I recently received from
Kris Dickinson at A Nostalgic Halloween.
My Mind's Eye Spider's Web and Bo-Bunny Gift of Love pattered papers and die cuts really make these pictures come to life, don't they?! The stamps used are from Studio G. I did feel it necessary to give each of our witches a little bling with a small rhinestone on their hats. As miss kitty oversees the coven, they may be a bit jealous of her rhinestone collar.

I really hope you enjoyed your visit to The Open Window.
For my regular followers, pop on over to The Play Date Cafe Designer Sandi's blog...she did a terrific interview with yours truly for her Friday Morning Clutch and I would love for you say hello! Check out her other interviews from past weeks while you're there.
It's a great way to get to know other creative bloggers.
Beginning Monday...I will be giving some little 'hints' as to the contents of our BLOG CANDY GIVEAWAY. There is still time for you to get in on it. Just grab the 'I Play at The Play Date Cafe' button over on the right, place it on your blog with a link to my blog and leave me a comment to let me know. I hope those who do will plan to play along with us as our challenges begins Thursday, October 22nd...go on...get yours now!

They're gorgeous... They are truly one of a kind.. Have a great day..

Love the decorations- what a great party!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie! To clarify my post, I was trying to say that I love seeing your paper doll art in the card you have shown in this post. I too played with some paper dolls and created my blog banner with one of Catherine Moore's spooktacular stamps. :) Anyway, it was fun to come back for a second visit! Enjoy the day.

ReplyDeleteMy dear Julie Ranae,
ReplyDeleteThank you so for inviting me to your divine party!
Do please accept my humble apologies for joining you late, though. You see... I was traveling home from New York on Saturday and had no computer access. Now I'm playing catch-up and visiting all of Vanessa's wonderful parties.
Thank you for flying over to Casa Hice on your broom and leaving your little petite witchy footprints on my welcome mat. Do come again, as the door is always open.
And now, I must away and subscribe to your enchanting blog with haste!
Happy Halloween!
Those are very, very pretty!!!
