**Just scroll down for the 80's blog hop**
I'm so excited!!! Abby at Scrapbookaholic by Abby invited me to participate in this blog hop that she and Gaby from Gaby Creates are hosting!!! I'm so glad they invited me to participate!!!
I'm assuming that you hopped over from visiting Gabby (isn't she AMAZING!!!); If you happen to come to my blog first, make sure you start with Abby!!
I'll be honest - this was difficult for me. Please, don't get me wrong!!! I had to do a lot of research on the background and the traditions for this holiday. I did not know anything about it, but (like I try to teach my children) getting to know different cultures and different holidays is a wonderful thing and you should learn everything you can!!! That's exactly what I did (so thank you ladies for helping me grow)!!!!!!! I loved learning more about it!!
I love the colors used for this holiday, and it was a lot of fun for me to make this card! I hope I did justice to this amazing celebration!!!!!!!!!
I used my Gypsy to place the cuts on the card. The skeletons are from Gypsy Wanderings. I used the Xyron technique for the skeleton to really make it shine (both because of the glitter and the shiny from the Glossy Accents).
Of course, what is a blog hop without candy?! All you have to do is comment on this post. You DON'T have to be a follower, if you like my work than I'd love to have you follow; it's NOT required though!!! Here's a picture of what I'm offering! You'll have until November 7th at midnight to post a comment, and onlly one comment per person please!!
Make sure you hop over to Karla at KA Little Scrap Corner, you'll love her talent!!!! If you get lost along the way, here's the list of everyone creating for the hop!! I hope you have fun!!!
