I wanted to make a card for this week's CAS-ual Friday challenge, which was to create using a 4"x9" card base. I also incorporated the coral & navy color combination from this week's Off the Wall Craftiness Challenge.
I also wanted to play some more with the new Artistic Outpost Halloween Treats set ... love those vintage Halloween images. My husband's serious dislike of clowns inspired my second image choice from Artistic Outpost's Send in the Clowns ... he would say clowns are scarier than any Halloween Goblins.
The sentiment is from AO's Haunted Halloween & layout is this week's Sweet Stop Sketch. I used a coral colored pencil to add some highlights to my images.
And ... thanks so much to everyone for sharing their favorite summer eats with me ... I got quite a few new ideas to enjoy summer's bounty ... and the winner of my 4th Blog Birthday celebration is ... #22.

Happy Bloggy Birthday!!! My favorite summertime food has to be corn on the cob!!! We just stocked our freezer with it and eat it every chance we can! I am not much of a cook, so don't have any recipes, but eating corn on the cob, cooked anyway is always a treat to me! Thanks for the chance to win some for your favorite goodies!

Congrats Jessica on winning the awesome candy :)
And, that clown is creepy. Do you ever watch the TV show Bones? Booth is freaked out by clowns too. Your hubby might find that reassuring - or funny ;)
