Halloween MemoryDex Page

It's Topflight Stamps Tuesday and an "Anything Goes" week, but before I get to my project, I wanted to remind you that you have less than 24 hours to take advantage of Topflight Stamps' World Cardmaking Day Sale! Buy some holiday gifts or treat yourself! 

With that reminder done, it's time to move onto this week's project!

You might have noticed that I'm on a Halloween crafting kick, but imho it's the most wonderful time of the year! I'm so excited to see all the Halloween decorations going up in my neighborhood. 

Therefore, I couldn't resist making a page for the Halloween MemoryDex Mini-book that I started last year. This MemoryDex page was created with AALL and Create's Mostly Harmless Clear Stamp Set 1294 and the Boosentials Clear Stamps Set 1203 — both by Janet Klein for AALL and Create. I also used the Galactic Edges Die Set 68, which is one of the fabulous MemoryDex Die Sets by AALL and Create.

Here's my MemoryDex Page!
