Time to Get Spooky!

Mwha ha ha ha!

Don’t you just love Halloween?  I SO do. 

Actually let me elaborate…

Don’t you just love “cute” Halloween?  You know… adorable witches, pumpkins, happy skeletons, furry black cats… that’s my kind of Halloween.  Eyeballs, snakes, gory masks, and anything remotely resembling innards need not apply at my house during this time of year.  And I hate, HATE horror films.  Nope, not one that likes to be scared. 

I still have nightmares about Gremlins and will not watch it to this day. 

And yes Alan has reminded me several times that it is in the comedy section of the video store.  And he usually gets a good pinch for doing so too.

Geez I sound pretty darn girly right now.  But my friends know full and well not to call me should they be going to a horror movie that evening.  Some are even nice enough to give me ample warning not to even think about seeing certain ones, which I have attempted in my older age. 

Nope, Charlie Brown and The Great Pumpkin are my kind of Halloween.  Though as Martha Stewart has proved covering scary things with glitter can sometimes lessen the ick factor and make them just fine:

(“Glitter Bones” on her site here)

It’s hard to be scared of a skeleton who just wants to accessorize in the best way they know how.

Along the lines of my favorite kind of Halloween decorations, I wanted to be sure to show off Leah’s new Vintage Spooky Digital Kit which is just perfect as far as I’m concerned.  Just look at everything!

So cute!

Here’s a couple of layouts I put together using the kit:

And this one:

Which was just a little experiment.  The house is from this original photo that I took of it in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin last winter:

 To make it fit for a Witchy retreat I converted to black and white and played with a few different filters in PSE.  And added Leah’s adorable elements of course!   She’s so good to her Creative Team.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend.  We are getting ready for vacation here (can I get a whoop?).  Alan and I will be spending the week immersed in wonderful theatre in Stratford, Canada.  I am so lo0king forward to the drive through beautiful Michigan and seeing hopefully lots of fall color.  Yes there shall be pics!

A long awaited ‘We Can Make That’ post is coming this week… if you have a Cricut, you can do this.  I think you’ll really love it.

Thanks for stopping by today friends, and have a wonderful day. 

(And of course if you choose to glitter-ize anything along the lines of  innards… you have to let me know so I can see. I remain open-minded about glitter covered gore.)

Kind of.
