All things that make Halloween great...

We are not a big Halloween family. I don't allow anything dark or creepy. Costumes need to be something of the natural world and they must keep my children's modesty. We don't do a lot for the actual holiday other than get together with cousins and go around the neighborhood to visit Aunts and Uncles, Grandmas and Grandpas and we scout for other cousins out doing the same thing...See, my mom is one of 10 siblings and 8 of them live in the same town! Now that my generation is growing up, getting married and having children of our own, we too are settling down in the same town. Before long we'll have taken the whole thing over! I like the American cultural aspects of Halloween and we try very hard to make family and fun our focus. Giggles, grins, pumpkins, costumes, treats, candy apples, that's why I just love the "All things that make Halloween great" stamp from TAC's Glitter Goblins stamp set. This card is one we are doing in September's Totally Cards Tuesday. Other supplies used to make this card include TAC's Spookalicious, TAC's Miss Moxie Soar With It collection pattern paper and cardstock, Copic Color Caboodles Markers from Set C and D, Tuxedo Black Ink, Marvy Scallop Mega Circle Punch, SU! Corner Punch, Orange Mini Brads and Offray Black and White Gingham Ribbon.
