Challenge #225 - "Halloween"

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers I hope you all remembered that the United Kingdom changed their clocks last weekend and we are now a hour behind and this means that we  have officially started Winter Time, to be honest I hate darker evenings and cant wait until the New Year is here and the evenings start to get lighter again. Anyway I think I had better get over it and announce what our theme is this week as "Halloween" is only days away now we shall be carrying on with this for this week as well, and Im sure your cards will be ready for your family this coming weekend and all those trick or treaters. And The Paper Shelter is giving special prices for their "Halloween" images at the moment so do please pop over and see for yourself.
But before I go any further I had better let you know who Random Org picked for last weeks "Trick of Treat" Challenge set by Marie, and so the lucky person chosen was:-

As you are aware this is usually the part of the Challenge Blog I really love but before I do I have to announce some very painful news as one of my team member "Pops" is standing down after this Challenge, and as she not only is a brilliant crafter she is also a very dear friend and I know that the girls and our Sponsers are going to miss her I know I am for sure, but I do want to wish her all the best for the future as I know she has some difficult times to cope with soon so thank you Pops for being such a wonderful Team Member. 
And now to show you what the A Team have created for you and Im sure you are going to be blown away with their stunning cards.

Im sure the girls will have inspired you to take part in this weeks "Halloween" theme and I look forward as Im sure the rest of the team will do to in seeing your results.
