Getting Witchy

Two days and counting! Did you get a chance to see the samples on Debi's and Mama's blogs yesterday? I was blown away by their projects!! If you haven't checked them out yet, you won't want to miss out on their creations.

Ok, I don't always think outside the box when it comes to layouts or themes. In fact, you will notice that many of my cards often have the same layout cause I get hooked on it and can't visualize anything else. So this card was a real accomplishment for me!

As I was thinking about Yoko one day during my lunch break, it suddenly came to me that I could have something else dangling from her fishing pole... but what? Then the creative juices started working and I thought...I know.. she could be dangling a ghost from her pole! Then I thought, it didn't have to be a ghost, but practically any Halloweenish thing. Then I thought... I should make her look like a witch!? The challenge was finding a witch hat, which of course makes you a witch. So I searched through all my dies and found an old Sizzix die that had a witch hat, broom and shoes. The hat was a little big, but with proper placement, I think it worked out Ok. Added the bat to her pole and a few more bat accents (punch by Martha Stewart Crafts). To give the card some color, I added in a couple pumpkin Spellbinders. Finished off the card with the spiderweb boarder punch (my fave) and Happy Halloween sentiment (Island Scrapbooking).


Here's a close up of Yoko the witch. Can you think of other ways to use our images? If so, I'd love to hear what you've come up with! Or better yet, send me the link to your creation!
