Happy October! We started off with an awful thunderstorm but the sky has cleared and now we have some gorgeous autumn weather, exactly what October should be. Thoughts of Halloween have infiltrated our house quite thoroughly. The kids already have their costumes and they are anticipating the holiday with excitement. This year we thought Meg was old enough to have a Halloween party. I'm keeping it small (only about 7 girls) basically for my sanity and to test the waters, so to speak. I played around with the invitation design until FINALLY both Meg and I were satisfied.
This is probably the most layers I have ever used on a card (ten, yikes!) but I'm really happy with the final result.
The witch is from Lizzie Anne Designs and she is colored with prismacolor and copic markers. The scroll and sentiment are from Papertrey Ink and the little tiny spider is from Doodlebug. And I finally got to use my spiderweb cuttlebug folder. The grey layer is actually metallic silver cardstock and there is also a bit of sparkle in the witch using a gold spica pen.
Meg was really happy with them so that's what counts for me. Now its on to ideas for the party itself. I have some things milling around in my head but if you have any suggestions for 7 year old girls, I'd be happy to hear them!
How cute! Have a spooky time! Deb

Oh, this is perfect! I love that witch stamp!
Have a great party!
As for party ideas: pumpkin decorating (no cutting into the pumpkin, just exterior painting), cookie decorating, making marshmallow ghosts...of course, you always come up with the neatest ideas, so I am sure you will not have any problem keeping them entertained!!
