First week done already!?!

I can't believe that the first week of school is over already!!!  I am happy it's over though. It was HOT, HOT, HOT at school!  I can't wait for Earl to get to New England and bring us 70's instead of 90-100's.  Bring it Earl, bring it! :)  On to card type stuff...
Before we know it my favorite holiday will be upon us.  Halloween is fun to me because it's the chance to be a kid again.  When you get to be a grown-up you don't get the time to play dress-up and pretend you are someone else, like an astronaut or mountain climber.  The spookier parts of Halloween give all of us a reminder that we should face our fears and not let fear hold us back.  Well, at least that's what I think about Halloween. :)
I made this card with Papertrey Ink's new Halloween Treats set and coordinating diecut.  The card base is an old Amuse square card.  They discontinued these, but I have hope they will bring them back at some point.  These were my fav 'cause of how easy they made making a 10 minute card. :)

Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for the SSDS challenge.  I've give you a hint, think cool weather.

I'm trick-or-treating here:
The Shabby Tea Room- Old (the card base) meets New (the stamps and diecut)
PaperPlay- stitches
Papertake Weekly- Just the one (mostly one color)
Stamp Something- something cute (I think the teeny tiny haunted house is the bees knees)

  6. love that Halloween image. It's really cute how you did the background with it and then used a colored verison for the main focus.
