I'll bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween.

I have the honor of serving on the Third Coast Rubber Stamps Design Team. Each month we received a stash of "Challenge Stamps". The three nude women in the journal page above is one I recently received. I like it! But I was trying to figure out a way to use in for my 31 Days of Halloween entry and my Third Coast Blog day.

One of my many favorite things to do on the internet is search for quotes. I had searched for Halloween quotes when I first signed up for 31 Days. I remembered seeing "I'll bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween". The perfect quote! I like journaling with quotes and words and using ransome note lettering. I have a stash of letters that I keep in two embroidery floss organizers.

I pick up travel brochures when we travel, studying the brochures carefully for the perfect fonts. I know I prefer the fonts with "serifs" but pick up others that have cool color combos or are the perfect size. I try to keep a stash, so that I can sort through each letter looking for the perfect one that will be appealing with the other letters in the quote and with other art on the page.

Stamp the image on some scraps of designer paper and embossed with fine black embossing power. Apply a wash to your journal page using acrylic paint. Adhere your stamped images and add lettering, and assorted other quotes. I found some other interesting quotes about naked and or nude people from the internet.

"Clothes make the man (or woman). Naked people have little or no influence on society." Mark Twain
