A Halloween Challenge & Challenge #53 Winner

As we start ending out October it will soon be Halloween...which seems like the perfect theme for this week's challenge.  Show us your best Halloween creations!  You have until 11:59EST on Wednesday November 3rd to uplink your projects using the link below.  All entries will be elegible to win this week's digital image as well as a spot as a guest designer with AIF in November! Altho you don't have to use one of our images to play, we would love it if you did, and it would warrant an extra entry into the challenge.  You can find some great freebies here.   Remember if you are uplinking from an online gallery please use the code AIF054 so we can easily find your project and leave you some love :)
This week the DT got to use some spooky Halloween sentiments for their projects!  They are part of the haunted tags and frames set that can be found in the store here
