You've been Boo-ed!!

In my neighborhood during Halloween time we Boo each-other. You make a goody bag filled with candy, fun stuff and include the story about Boo-ing someone, you sneak out when it is dark, leave it on the door step attach a ghost to the door, ring the bell and run! and It is supposed to be a secret! You boo two people then they boo two people etc. The boo left on the door lets people know you have already been boo-ed.


Here is the ghost I made to attach to the door when I BOO my neighbors:

Do you think they will know it's from me?

Tags Bags Boxes and More! Gift Card Holder...

I really think I would use this more if I had the booklet! I just randomly pick one and hope for the best! This time I picked the window feature on the Gypsy and this is the one I selected. I am so happy it was easy to put together!

I wanted my daughter to stick with the Halloween Theme for her Best Friends Birthday, but she was wanting to pick her out this sweet butterfly gift card. So she will be receiving a spooky card and a sweet package!

I covered the window with Acetate paper. Used the Grass border punch.

A glue dot to adhere the butterfly to the back of the bag.

I am really happy with how it turned out!

Here is the book I made using cardboard, lots of cardstock and my bind it all!

Hello Kitty Challenge at the BBTB2!

It is time for another great challenge over at the BBTB2!

This week Theresa from Binky Blossoms  asked all the designers to use the Halloween Kitty on Hello Kitty. Page 70

If you do not have Hello Kitty you can use any kitty  from any cartridge but please submit a new creation!

We are looking forward to seeing all your amazing creations using a kitty!

Since I am in need of a birthday card I changed mine up just a bit!
Here is my project:

Hello Kitty 
Sweet Birthday Wishes from Inkadinkado
Threading water punch
Craft string, button, bling, stickles


Hello Kitty was cut at 3 1/2" I used extra thick cardstock 110lb that I found at staples. I also used a new cutting mat. Blade at 6 pressure at one below high.
For any of the smaller cuts on the hello kitty cartridge I bump the size up 1/4 from where I started... so I cut the Hello Kitty at 3 1/2 but I cut her little paws and lollipop at 3 3/4. The little cuts just seem to fit better!



I hope you will join in on this fun kitty challenge!
