Look at me go! Posting 2 days in a row after not posting for weeks. I'm like that. I go in streaks. What I always seem to forget is how much I *love* hearing from all of you, my faithful blog followers. You really are the BEST! I hope you know that. ♥ Thank you so much for the comments you left yesterday. It's nice to be missed. ;)
Today, I'm back with another Halloween card. It's s not that I'm all that crazy about the holiday, but I had purchased this adorable little banner sticker the last time I was in M's and it was *perfect* for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge today~!
This is actually only half of the banner...approximately 4". I'll be able to make another card like this with the other half. The other half has a brown owl, a *candy corn* and a bat.On a side note, this time of year, I get serious *candy corn* cravings. So far, I have resisted, but I'm really temped every time I see them. Honestly, I can easily eat an entire bag by myself! Hubby likes me to mix them with dry roasted peanuts. That's really good too. Ok, let's get off this subject...
This is a standard size card 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" using basic black cardstock. I've layered on a spider web designer paper and stitched on some leftover scraps of crushed curry and tangerine tango from the card I made yesterday. Even with the cute little banner, I thought there was too much white space, so I added the black buttons tied on with bakers twine.
Speaking of bakers twine, I've got a lifetime supply if you need any. I've got brown/white and also black/white. It's for sale (cheap!) in my Etsy Shop or you can always email me too.
I know you like to see the inside too . . . using 2 of my dollar bin M's stamps.
That's all for today peeps! Thanks for stopping by and I want you all to know that IF I had a big bag of *candy corn*, I would share it with all of you! well, maybe. . . ;)
Have a wonderful week!

Great take on the sketch and love the faces/characters on the banner.
I'll pass on the candy corn, but if you give me KitKat or and Oh Henry I'll grin from ear to ear for you :) Keep them coming!
