FRIGHTFULLY DELIGHTFUL FREAKY FRIDAY CHALLENGE

I've had this challenge idea bouncing around inside my brain for a while now and I finally had to just jump in and get it posted here on the blog.  I'm a little long winded so I hope you'll stick with me...

1.  I LOVE HALLOWEEN!  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!  So, as a stamper, you can only imagine the amount of Halloween stamps, patterned papers, ribbon, and other paraphernalia...KWIM?  You can never have too much, right?!!!  With that in mind, I wanted to run a weekly challenge this month to spotlight this fun holiday and all of the goodies that go along with it.

2.  I just celebrated my TWO YEAR BLOG-IVERSARY last Friday, October 3rd.  Two years!  I really can't believe that I've been spending my time sharing on this blog for that long.  I thank those of you who have checked in with me from time to time.  It's a pleasure hearing from you and being able to share what I love to do with you here.  I'm a smidge away from reaching 200,000 visits too...WOW!

3.  Did you know that TODAY, OCTOBER 7TH is ANNA WIGHT'S Birthday?  Hee hee...Well everyone should know!  Anna is truly an inspiration to so many of us stampers and she so generously treats us to her artwork, sunny disposition, and hilarious exploits on the farm each day.  There's no one who deserves a ton of well wishes more than Anna!  HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANNA!!

So, the details for the challenge are going to be posted HERE or you can click on the Freaky Friday Challenge logo in the left sidebar.  Please click on over to that page for details.  I hope you'll play along with me this month.

I'll start the challenges with this card featuring Anna's Polly stamp...for this card, I've named her "Polly Dah-ling".  Obviously, she's been "bitten" by some sexy vamp!  Do you think she's been watching too much True Blood?

Use any NON-HALLOWEEN stamp to create a Halloween themed card or project.

Love these challenges! Heres my halloween card. I used a normal damask stamp to create a "goth" looking background. http://paperinkandsmiles.blogspot.com/2008/10/frightful-freaky-challenge.html
