Boo To You! FMS457

 




The Big Guy:

1. loves candy.....
2. loves kids.......
3. loves to MacGyver stuff.....


Therefore Halloween should be even more entertaining than usual around here. We usually get well over 100 trick or treaters and it is always a fun evening.  However because of you know what I said, "No way are all those kids coming up to our door!"

So the Big Guy is working on a project.  Imagine a bobsled run for candy bars that will start on our back porch railing, stretch across our walkway and out to the sidewalk.  It involves plastic piping and a bit of swearing but I am confident the end result will work just fine!  Stay tuned....


I am hosting this week at Freshly Made Sketches  - have fun with the sketch!  I will be visiting your galleries for inspiration!



Stamp Sets: A Spooky Day (Picket Fence), Sentiment Strip (TE)
Ink: Glorious Grape, Memento Black, Crushed Curry, Copics

What a fun card! I love that beautifully colored house. It sounds like the Callahan house will be one to stop by this Halloween!

Oh my gosh that sounds amazing!! And hard! I wish we had more T or Ts. I loved going as a kid, and dressing up my kids! We usually have about 10. Sad!!

Your card is AMAZING!! Be sure to post it on the PFS Community page, because everyone will swoon! The colors, and the sky are just awesome. Great sketch this week too! <3

Your card is adorable! Looks like it has as much personality and quirks as Big Guy and creativity to boot! LOVE your stories, Linda!

I love this sketch and adore your vibrant, spooky card, Linda! Crossing my fingers the bobsled delivery system works.

What a fun "spooky house". Can't wait to hear more about the bobsled run. Makes me wish we lived closer!

Oh my, I love your card Linda! I didn't make any Halloween cards this year since I'm not getting out, no stamping with my group and sigh... But if I was going to make one, this is the one I'd CASE!! Love it!

The Halloween contraption sounds intriguing - can't wait to hear more! Sounds like true creative genius at work! And a fabulous card too - beautifully coloured, what a cute haunted house - not at all scary!

Jen Brum said...

This is such a great card Linda! I just love the Halloween scene! Your colouring is fantastic! Love the background panel! I don't know what we're doing about handing out candy. My kids aren't going out - I'll use the excuse they're too old. We don't usually get too many kids stopping by but I don't know how to address it. Oh the joys of 2020!!!

Ida said...

This is fabulous. I love everything about it.

Karren said...

Wow, wow, wow, Miss Linda! This card is stunning and that house? Outstanding! And to top it all off you gave us a fantastic sketch as well!

First of all, lots of luck to the Big Guy! He sounds like a Good Guy who likes to have fun! All ToT has been called off here which is just another blow to the kids of this state, the country, the globe. So high five to him for using his noggin to think of a safe way your lucky neighborhood kids can have some fun and score some candy! Oh, and I love your card, Linda! Your wonderful jewel-toned blending on the background is jaw-dropping! Keep safe! Hugs, Darnell

FUN Halloween card...and I hope we get to see the McGyver candy machine in action!

I bet this stamp was so fun to color!! (And probably with less swearing than the Big Guy.) What a fun scene you created - LOVE the background!
