Trick or Treat

 
inside
 
Hi everyone! It's great to be back blogging again. I just returned on Monday from a fabulous trip to Washington DC. My Dad will be 92 in December and is a veteran of WWII. I wanted him to see the World War II Memorial and some of the other related sights in Washington, so my sisters and brothers and I sponsored the trip for him. On Wednesday I had some minor surgery. It wasn't serious, but it slowed me down quite a bit. Then I had to babysit for my granddaughter yesterday. Today was the first day in a long time I could get down to my studio. It felt good to get inky again.
All of the above is why my Bloggers Challenge posting is a bit late today. Since the week is almost over, and since a number of my usual challenges has a Halloween challenge, my card will be entered in a quite a few challenges.
Bloggers Challenge has witches and goblins as its theme. Tuesday Throwdown, Mark's Finest Papers Friends of SpeedyCornish Heritage Farms, Fashionable Stamping, and Creative Belli have Halloween or Halloween colors as the theme. Octopode says Trick or Treat. Kraft Journal challenged us to show inside and out. Critter Sketch wants to see embossing.
As you can see from this card, Tim Holtz is quite a fan of Halloween. The design paper, all of the stamps, and all of the die cuts are products from his collection. The sentiment is embossed using Rangers verdigris embossing powder.
