Waltzingmouse Pajama Party!

Are you playing along with the Waltzingmouse Pajama Party?  If not there is still time!  Gotta tell you that  I love a challenge - it's a great excuse to pull out my favorite set of stamps an get inky.  What I like even better is seeing the other projects linked up by the people playing along.  It is a way to see the stamps I own through the eyes of someone else!   And if that wasn't enough motivation - yes there are prizes!!!  Claire has four ghoulishly wonderful challenges you can choose from this time!   If you want to get all the details and see the different challenges Claire has posted click here.  

I'm playing along with Challenge 2 - Vintage Ghost Stories.     When I was a kid I loved watching Creature Features and classic black and white science fiction like The Blob, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Dracula...... oh and who can forget Vincent Price in all the Poe Stories like the Masque of the Red Death and The Pit and The Pendulum?    The first poetry I was introduced to .. Robert Frost, and Emily Dickinson - but the one that captivated me the most?  Edgar Allan Poe with The Raven of course!    So when I saw the new Witching Hour and All Hallow's Eve sets I was again - enchanted!  

I love the contrast of elegant (to attract you of course) - with eerie.  I water marked the music paper with "Splat That!" inked up in Antique Linen to give it a more aged and weathered look.

Thanks for stopping by!  I am looking forward to seeing your creations!
