Halloween Twilight

oh my goodness, I didn't realize just how long it's been since I created something & blogged! My friend told me I need to enter Skipping Stones Design's challenge and since I love Halloween, it's was super easy for me! Plus I adore getting to use this Jessica Lynn Originals stamp called Halloween Twilight along with papers my friend Marilynn sent

oh so very SWEET
