Bloggers Challenge #123-Theme Halloween

Another week another Bloggers Challenge. This Friday for Bloggers Challenge we had the theme Halloween. This one makes me soooo happy!!! I just LOVE Halloween!! I am not one for going over board decorating our house or dressing up for the holiday but I just love this holiday. I think the number one reason I love it so much is that my son, Griffen, was born on this holiday 10 years ago!!

Is he not the cutest little boy?? I guess he is not so little anymore!!! Boy how time flies, seems just like yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital!! Anyway Happy Birthday Bud (tomorrow)!!!

Griffen is actually having his birthday party tonight with some of his friends over for a bonfire/sleepover and he wanted me to make his birthday invitations for him. He had requested Dracula invites. Okay I thought easy enough, just google Dracula and go from there. He liked him when I was done but thought his friends might laugh at our Dracula. He knew I had done a Frankenstein last year at this time and said he would just go with him since he looked better.

I decided to share both with you so let me know which one you like better. I really think they both are too darn cute!!!! But then again it is Halloween and we don't want cute do we???LOL!!!!

Both Dracula and Frankie pictured here. I told you they were cute didn't I???

I made Frankie and Mrs Frankie candy boxes last year for Halloween. You can see them HERE. I used Green Galore & Brilliant Blue Cardstock, Round Tab, 1" Circle, 1/2" Circle & My Way Punches, uni-ball Signo Gel Pen, Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker and my Big Shot with the Top Note Bigz Die.


On the backside of Frankie I cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and attached it to Frankie. I used the stamp set called Graveyard Gala so I could fill it out with all his information for his birthday party.

For Dracula I used Ballet Blue, Real Red & Basic Black Cardstock, Large Star, 1 1/4", 3/4", 1/2" & 1/4" Circle Punches, Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker and my Big Shot with the Top Note Bigz Die.

I think they both turned out too darn cute!!! Let me know which one you like better and I am sure the boys all liked Frankie but I will find out tonight when they all come over!!

Have a great day!!
