Halloween Night

 My husband's grandmother passed away Wednesday morning, she was 93 years old and lived such a long, full, wonderful life. Jeremy was raised mostly by his grandparents, so this one hit extra hard for us.  Gram was the matriarch - and what a matriarch she was.  She welcomed me into the family when I was 21 years old, she never batted an eye when we told her we were pregnant before we were married, she just loved and supported us and loved our babies.  I'll never forget how she made me feel. Her house was the house we went to for holidays, etc.  We have been going through old photo albums looking for pics for the services and it gives you such mixed feelings reminiscing. There's the happy memories and also the grief... and crazy while looking through photos, realizing how many people have passed during our lifetimes. Makes you grateful.

I would like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Conjurer of Dreams - Anything Goes/Optional Witch Wisdom

The Raven

 Hey there - popping in quick to enter the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Things with Wings

Gem of a Challenge Week 19 - Anything Goes

Polkadoodles Week 39 - Anything Goes

Digi Choosday Week 39 - Anything Goes

We Love 2 Create Challenge 9 - Anything Goes


I created my background by using a piece of corrugated cardstock that I recycled and sprayed with Distress Sprays, Oxide Sprays, and Mica Stains.  I then stamped my texture stamps (Hero Arts) and the raven stamp (Globeland) directly on that and matted it on a piece of black cardstock.  I never took a pic but I then framed this in a really pretty frame and it was a birthday gift for one of my favorite friends. Peace.
