BOO!!!!!

Check this out, I made this cute little decoration for my living room out of some old Maya Road chipboard tags. I covered them with white ink and then distressed a little with chocolate ink.
I used the BEWARE, CREEPY COBWEBS and MERRY MONSTERS stamp sets from Close TO My Heart to decorate them. For the BOO letters, I inked my RUSTIC ALPHABET letters with black ink and then kissed the letters with the cobweb from the CREEPY COBWEBS stamp set. Isn't it cute?

Creatively Spooky!

This is from Jeanette Lynton's blog, it's so adorable, I just had to share it with you!
