I do recall that when I was in the second grade I dressed up as Jackie Kennedy. I don't recall what my mother put me in but I did have an authentic Jackie Kennedy mask. I thought she was so pretty! Of course, JFK was president then so you can probably figure out that I am Waaay more than 29! HAHA!
I made several costumes for my own kids and that was always fun.
My grandkids are going as Flash Gordon and Minnie Mouse this year. I can't wait to see them. Wade, the new baby, will probably go as a cow which will have been recycled from the other kids. ;)
Anyway, onto cardmaking. I have a few Paper Smooches stamp sets and I just love them. I like the cute side of Halloween. I know some love the spooky, creepy stuff but I like cute. Don't hate.
So, I've made several cards and will share over the next few days. Gotta get these babies in the mail today, don't I?
I made two variations but here is the first one. I love the little Frankenstein dude....I colored him with Copics and added some googly eyes. I love the little beakers which I put some Stickles over. I hate spiders which totally ick me out but can tolerate the 2 dimensional non-moving kind.... I think he's kind of cute, by the way....
Here is a closeup of Mr. Frank N. Stein. (Oh, old favorite movie....Young Frankenstein with Gene Wilder. "It's not Frankenstein...it's Frah ken steen!" HAHA!)
And here is a photo of the two versions:
Fun, fun, fun!
Oh, and another thing I like about Halloween is CANDY! I love candy. Yep...I do! I like just about everything except for Jujubes...and Milk Duds sort of get on my nerves. But Snickers, M and M's, Twix, Starburst, etc....well, keep them out of my reach!
Happy Crafting! It's a beautiful day here...a bit cool. I think I'll take a walk at the park and do some crafting, too!
Oh, and I entered this in the Simon Says Stamp Halloween or Halloween Colors Challenge HERE.
Like the cute Halloween cards. The wiggle eyes are a great addition. Especially like how you added the ribbon. My daughter was Minnie Mouse one yr. Most Halloweens she wore her costume for 2 yrs adding something new the 2nd yr. She was Cinderella, Belle, a Pirate Gal, etc. I remember those masks. I was Tweety Bird one yr.
