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!

A few vacation photos

I wanted to share a few vacation photos with you, last week we took our holiday trailer and stayed in the mountains for a week.....I never wanted to leave, it's so beautiful there! Most of these photos were taked near Banff, Alberta, Canada. I think I live in the most beautiful country!

We're Tubing Again!

Here is another tubing layout, again using Close To My Hearts Moon Doggie Level 2 paper pack and Stickease. I also used the August word puzzle on my journalling block. As in the other layouts, I used the color ready alphabets and pounced them with coordinating inks.....don't you love that? So simple and FAST! I cut the file folder, under my title, out using a Coluzzle template. And see how it opens to reveal 2 more photos! Again, Love That!

Happy summer everyone!
