This Halloween card is for my DD#2 and her husband, the Halloween and theme park enthusiast. It's "challenge catch/ challenge keep up" time. My card fits eight ( challenges...some old and some new!
#1. FS599 - Featured Stamper Challenge, "She Doesn't Stamp Down, She Stamps Up" - 7/29/18. Featuring Jenny Hall aka JennyStampsUp! Her card that inspired me to use an inchie style can be seen by clicking here: Octopus in Disguise. Changes made: theme changed Halloween with a new color scheme. I used four (4) peek-a-boo inchies to fit theme. I replaced sentiment-stamped flag with punched edge-border, added a ribbon bow, plus a word die sentiment and one more mat layer.
#2. DD9ABC25Y - Alphabet Challenge, Round 9, Color Letter Y - 8/8/18. My Color Letter Y is: Yellow-Orange, Yellow-Green, and Yam (color of a Jewel sweet potato, often mistaken for a yam).
#3. MMTPT529 - Teapot Tuesday Challenge, "Memories Are Made of..." Repetition helps memory retention...repeat on your card. I repeated my peek-a-boo inchie frames four times.
#4. WT655 - Ways to Use It Challenge, "DIY Decorations" - 9/18/17. Create your own embellishments: flowers, buttons, punched acetate dots & color, tie your own bow, etc. I made my own frames with two dies, shimmer embossed black paper for Halloween characters, tied my bow.

Super fun card Carlene! We just finished Halloween because of really bad rain last night Halloween was postponed until today! Your card looks like a fun spook house with things popping out of every window!
