share your spark fridays ...

Happy Friday, everyone!  I am really excited today: there's a nip in the air, I have punches *wink*, and I can FINALLY share a bit of the new Halloween release from A Muse with you!  So ... welcome to a special A Muse sneak peek edition of share your spark fridays!

As always ... let me first thank everyone who shared their spark last week by making a card with a cut-out!  You guys did some REALLY creative things yet again!  It's always SO fun to see what you create!

Now on to this week's spark!

This week I'm challenging you to something close to my heart!  In honor of this being sneak peek week for the new A Muse Halloween images, this week's spark is to ...

Make a Halloween card!

Whoo hoo!  How fun!

Here's what I made, using one of A Muse's new Halloween stamps (and a new sentiment)!

Check out this crow!  How spooky cool is he (or she, I suppose it could be)!  *laugh*  This whole release is squeel-worthy, but I've been having a ball using the black crow!

I even added a bit of sparkle in the form of black glitter!

Now it's your turn!  You guys know that I'm even more excited than usual to see what you cook up for Halloween!   And don't forget to share your spark by leaving a comment on this post with a link to what you make!

Be sure to check out the A Muse News blog and the blogs of the A Muse Creative Team for more sneak peeks!
