Happy Halloween

Note: I won't whine about my broken camera anymore but I will let you know when I have a new one. ;)

As you know, my son wasn't feeling well last week. That illness transformed itself and now he's recovering from a chest cold. Unfortunately, I think I'm getting what he had so I've been feeling sluggish all day. I started this post five hours ago and I'm just getting around to posting it now! I broke in a few of my new PTI goodies and made a cute little Halloween card for my son. We're in the midst of finding him a Halloween costume since they seem to fly off the shelves by mid-September. I want to get him the monkey costume from Pottery Barn Kids but he insists on being a pig. So far I haven't been able to find a super duper cute pig costume so I'm getting anxious.

For this card, I used Just the Ticket along with the coordinating die which is truly fantastic! I decided to use just the frames from that set to showcase Tiny Treats: Halloween. It took great restraint not to colour in all the images. I added a bit of green and purple baker's twine because what's Halloween without some of those colours, too? The most time-consuming part of this card was piecing the sentiment together with Simple Alphabet.

In my last post, a few of you were curious about where I photograph my cards. It took me a while to find the best place and background for my cards. Not too long ago, I realized that the best place is on my dining table, a farmhouse table we bought from France. The Katrina chairs are from Montreal. I love the blue microfibre against the dark rustic finish of table. :)
