Happy World Card Making Day!!!

Ok I know I'm a bit late on wishing you all a happy world card making day, but I was able to get some creating done today!  woo hoo!  So now I get to share some of that with you!  Here is a card I am entering into several challenges and one design team call:

I had a ton of fun making this Halloween Card... It is simple card that gives off a whole lot of attitude. First I started with plain black cardstock and ran it through my Sizzix Texture Boutique using my Cuttlebug swirls A2 card.  What's that fun stuff on the bottom of my card? Cheese cloth!!!  Isn't that so much fun?!  I happened to have some sitting in my craft/dinning room for a different craft that I haven't gotten around to doing and I thought why not attach it to a card?!  I gave it a little tug here and there and frayed it a little on the ends.  I used Scotch quick dry adhesive to attach it and viola!  I used ribbon from my stash, a little cut out tag from quick quotes and attached to white cardstock with my sentiment from Imaginisce snag em stamps.  I added some I-Rock bling on the sides of the tag, and Mr. S the skeleton is from the Happy Hauntings Cartridge!


Now onto the Design Team Call I am entering this into: *drum roll inserted here*

My Craft Spot is having a Design Team Call!!! 
I am a huge fan of her beautiful crinkle ribbon and she also has some fantastic stamps!!!  Did I mention she has some yummilicious twine too?!  You have to stop by here to check out her wonderful products, and then go here to see what others have created for her DT Call and for you to get in it as well.

I am also entering this into the following challenges:
One Crazy Stamper - Halloween/Fall Challenge
Really Reasonable Ramblings - Challenge #33 Halloween
Paper Cutz Challenge - #111 shake rattle and roll but keep it cute
Cricut - World Card - Making Day Contest

Happy Crafting!
