It's beginning to look a lot like... Halloween!!!

Yay!! I love Halloween. All the creepy crawly goodness. It's such a fun holiday! I like to collect Halloween stamps - I don't know why, it's not like I ever really send Halloween cards to anyone. But I can't help it! I LOVE THEM!! And this month's theme over at the Hero Arts blog is Everything Autumn, so it was the perfect excuse to break out some of the cutest little Frankensteins I've ever seen!


Frank and the background bat stamp were both little clear stamp singles from a pack called Stamp It: Halloween. I was inspired by a sketch from Taylor, but that challenge is already over. I thought I was playing along with the current Play Date Cafe colors, but wow, I don't think I got it quite right! On my laptop last night the color looked more purple, but now on my desktop computer it looks completely magenta! Oops!


The sentiment from Monster Fun went perfectly with Frankenstein, I thought. I cut the little shape around it freehand, that's why it's a bit wonky, LOL! The fun pumpkin stickpin is last year's Making Memories, and the little sparkly black trim is Making Memories from this year! I love their Halloween stuff, it makes me squeal every year! And I thought the way I knotted that trim made it look a little like a bat, and that made me happy. :-) I also added a little Glossy Accents to give Frank some shine:


So how much do you know about the Hero Arts blog and the Hero Arts Flickr group?? Every month on the blog there's a monthly contest - you could win a $50 shopping spree!
