Guestin' at Top Tip Tuesday Challenge

     I was invited by the super sweet Samantha at Top Tip Tuesday Challenge to be their Guest Designer this week.  You guys know I hate to pass up the opportunity to be a guest.  LOL


     The theme for the new challenge is "Halloween".  I dug through my digi files and found this cutie from A Day For Daisies that I have never used.  She's colored up with COpics and backed by some more of those wonderful freebie digital papers from Bearly Mine Designs.  I would really have been in a bind this year if Donna hadn't shared those freebies.  I used a Tim Holtz Sizzix embossing folder on the bottom paper to add that fun texture that kind of looks like spider webs.  At the bottom I added some washi tape and a button.  The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.  I won a set of them a loooonnnng time ago from the uber talented Chris Olsen.
     TTT has some wonderful sponsors for this go around.
