Happy Halloween

Just a little post to wish all my blogging buddies a Happy Halloween and to share a picture of my little witch!

Fishing Alf ............

Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying your Sunday. Me and my little girl Grace have both been crafting today.

It was lovely to see her enjoying herself even if everything did get covered in red ink!

Anyway onto today's card, this is 'Fishing Alf' from the Digi Stamp Boutique. I think he is such a great image for a male that likes fishing and in my family there are quite a few!
