Halloween Stickers

10 days down and 21 to go, are you feeling in the Halloween spirit yet? No? Me either. It has been a hard week and it is only Tuesday. Yesterday my dad had to have surgery for a hernia that he got. The surgery went well and there were no problems so he was sent home at around 2 pm (it was an out patient surgery). After being home about an hour we noticed that he was a bit restless and didn't seem to want to sit still. Well to make a long story short, he had an unusual reaction to a nausea patch that they put on him and it made him restless, irritable, slur his words and hallucinate. This went on ALL NIGHT, we were able to reach the doctor who performed the surgery around 6 am this morning who told us to remove the patch, which we weren't allowed to touch as it is so potent. We noticed a change after only 30 minutes without the patch, he was finally able to sit still for longer than five minutes. After an hour he FINALLY fell asleep which was a complete relief as none of us had slept all night. So needless to say after I finish writing this post I will be going to bed for a bit.

So let's dive into the card for today. One of my goals with this month of Halloween series is to make a rather large dent in my Halloween stash. Some of the items I have had for several years and it is time to use them up. I had a couple of sticker sheets that contained some circle and square stickers, in three different sizes with different spooky images on them. I decided to use up the largest and the smallest of the stickers today.

I found the idea for this card on Pinterest and just adapted it a bit to fit my needs. I have to say that I absolutely love how much the black cardstock makes the other colors and images pop. And, the little bit of added bling really helps to finish this card off.

For the inside I once again added a piece of the matching patterned paper from the front and then accented it with one of the smallest stickers from the page. Now I just need to figure out what to do with the remaining medium sized stickers.
