Off to Grandma's house?

Well, the weekend is already half over....where did it go?  Hope everyone is doing well, enjoying some free time, and if the weather is good where you are...perhaps getting a bit of time outdoors.  Soon it will be Halloween, and I know of a couple of goblins that might just like a card from Grandma.


Bat's make for a wonderful addition to a spooky image, but in real life....I am not a fan!!!  Living in the country...they are out there!  In fact if someone leaves the basement door open, they'll even come in for a visit.  Tough lessons learned!

Today I've played with this spooky little number...Bat Castle, from Just Inklined!  They won't get many visitors looking for candy!  Coloured with copics and then chalks for the sky, I then found a few stickers in my stash to complete the effect.

We don't get any visitors on Halloween either....the kids from the area are all grown, and we live too far out of the way.  Needless to say, I only buy the candy that I like (ha ha), and the grandkids never complain!

  6. Wonderful card for Halloween! Love how you've colored the bat castle! They claim bats are good for controlling the bug population, but not in the house!
