Haunted Park: My Poppystamps Design Team Post for 9/1/2013

Haunted Park    

Greetings!  

I love Fall and Halloween so here is my Haunted Trees.  These use many of the same Poppystamps and Memory Box dies from my August 20th post.  These dies are so versatile there are so many ways to use them. Save your scraps from cutting as they can be used for other things.  For example, the insides of the Village Lamp can be used as coffins for a spooky graveyard scene.

Note:  The card is sitting in a wooden base in order to photograph it for the blog.
