Two Old Bats Halloween Jump Start Challenge

 Hello All and Welcome to my first posting for the

TWO OLD BATS HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE BLOG.

This is going to be fun ... be sure to check it out!

You may already know, but this new challenge blog was the brain child of my BFF Diane.  She & I were talking (actually FB messaging) and she commented that she had so many Halloween dies/stamps that never get used and how there wasn't an actual Halloween Only Challenge Blog out there ...

Well that's all she had to say and the next thing you know we are brain storming and I'm getting images together to get her approval on  . . . etc., etc.  And here we are less than a week later!  LOL

Do you like the name? 
It was Diane's idea and I think it is PERFECT!!!  LOL

Our other challenge she also named ... in case you're not familiar, it's called Double D!  LOL  (not the bra size ... well maybe lol) but stands for Diane & Darlene.  Clever huh!!??

Here's what I've created for you today . . .

The challenge is ANYTHING GOES HALLOWEEN!
There are no particular theme or product you have to use to join in
but Diane will be creating a monthly mood board ... just as inspiration,
does NOT have to be followed to qualify as a winner or Top 3 choice.
OH!  AND, from time to time, we will be offering a PRIZE!!

My goodness ... most of my Halloween stash is SO OLD ...here's what I've used on today's creation.

Tutti Designs Trick or Treaters

 

Tutti Designs Scrolly Bat

The Happy Halloween sentiment is by a company called Vap Scrap and was found in one of those $1  bins YEARS ago.  Also years old is the Studio G stamp set where the Spider came from.

 My designer paper is probably more then 10 years old and came in one of those large 12x12 paper pads you used to find at stores like JoAnn's for $19.99.

 

I've die cut my trick or treaters twice ... once black & once white them off set them to create a shadow then popped them up with dimensional tape.  Aren't they just the cutest bunch!!  LOL

I've die cut my bat twice from black card stock then glued them together just at the center body to give the wings movement.  I guess I should have put some googlie eyes on him huh?  Hmmmmm will have to remember that for another time!  LOL

I do hope you'll come check out our new challenge blog and play along.  If you're not into creating Halloween cards maybe you have crafting friend who are and we'd appreciate you sharing our new adventure with them.  Thanks so much for stopping by and as always . . .

Wishing you a BOOtiful day!!
