Happy Halloween

Happy Saturday everyone.  I'm working furiously to get my Halloween cards done.  Three weeks from today is vacation (YEA!).  We'll be heading to northern Arizona with our best friends.  We stay at a cabin with a private lake where the guys fish all day.  What will the girls do, you ask?  We take way too much scrappy stuff and spend our time making cards.  This is when I usually make my Thanksgiving cards and get a big start on Christmas cards.  There's a little twist this year in that my BFF and I are taking both of our widowed Father's.  Hers fishes (pretty much from sun-up to sunset) while mine (who has never had a hobby in his life other than playing golf) will just pester us.  Such is life.

Here's my BFF's hubby with some of his catch from last year.
















Now for my card.  Newer itty bitty (BOO-ti-ful Day) from Unity colored with Prismacolor pencils.  Sentiment from the Bottled Up Boo's kit, punched out with a 1" circle punch, and adhered in the flattened bottle cap (so cute from Hobby Lobby).  The papers are from DCWV.  Added a bit of twine and some black enamel dots.  I didn't think I'd be able to play along with Unity's Friday challenge this week but since they posted late they extended the entry deadline so I'm linking up to Friends with Flair.  Enjoy.
