Happy Hauntings

Have you ever had a long, long day? Feeling stressed and frustrated? .........AND then you walk into a Michael's or Joanns and you take in the sweet smell of glue and paper and paint and just like that.... you feel so much BETTER??? Seriously, that was me last night when I went out to Michaels.  By the time I came home, I was ready to take on the boys' homework!!

OK then, today I finished my Halloween card for a few more challenges.  I enjoyed this one because I used the embossing technique on the gate. I watched Momo's ustream video the other day on Embossing and I just had to try it! Lots of fun doing it. Thanks Momo (again).

So here it is.  Hope you like it.

I just love the way the gate come out nice and shiny!
