Food For Thought

Time for another Halloween card using the Queen Kat Design stamped image called Werewolf by artist Rossana Castellino.  This time I used her on a Z-Fold card with some Halloween patterned paper from Carol Lee Creations.  AND it's time for another installment in the life of our pretty Werewolf as it waxes and wanes along with the moon:

"She thought she needed some in-depth research into the human psyche and all its twists and turns, so she enrolled in a night class in philosophy.  She wan't stupid or anything, just not in tune with college life and the cruelty of a professor who had been turned down for tenure (again) earlier that fateful day.

When she didn't answer his question to his satisfaction, he tore into her in front of the whole class.  "Think, damn it," he cried in uncontrolled fury.  "What would it take to make you use that brain of yours and think?"

It wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't also made a sarcastic remark regarding her unusually thick and abundant hair (especially on her long thin legs).  She left in tears, which soon turned to snarls in the light of the full moon.

As he was leaving the campus, she confronted him and it was her turn to tear into him...literally.  As she was gnawing at what little was left of him, she couldn't help but think of her former professor with a satisfied little smile as she finally had an answer for the question he had posed to her in class earlier.  "You, professor, have made me think.  You were excellent food for thought."

I hope you enjoyed my story and are inspired by my Z-Fold card.  You can find this pretty Werewolf stamp by artist Rossana Castellino at the QKD Shop.  Do you want a good reason to buy some Halloween stamps there?  Check out the Facebook Page and sign up for our customer blog hop, The Thirteen Days of Halloween.

Love at First Bite

As Halloween approaches, I am gearing up for the holiday with a stack of newly-made cards.  Today's card uses a QKD image called Werewolf by artist Rossana Castellino.  She has a story to tell...
"They met at the animal shelter.  She stumbled against him, and his skin smelled so heavenly she had to take just a little nip.  It was love at first bite.  Although all their dates were scheduled around the cycle of the moon, their relationship bloomed.  Until...
He said it was a guys' night out, which was fine with her, as the moon was waxing full and she had more basic needs to fulfill.  So when she came face to face with the love of her life while she was hunting late that eventful night, she was torn between her desire for him as a lover, and her desire for him as, well, dinner.  Until...
She saw what, or rather who, had brought him out into the forest.  She was a tiny thing,big blue eyes and hair that shone in the full moon.  Such a pity to have to tear into her about property ownership.  When she was finished with the poor human, she turned her attention on her lover.  As you can see by my card, there wasn't much left of him by the time her anger had abated and her hunger sated.  Just a small bone to remember him by.  Ah, well, all is fair in love and werewolves!"
