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?

Twitterpated!

I had so much fun creating this layout with Close TO My Hearts Twitterpated paper pack! Love the colors and patterns! I also used the tree from the Grown With Love stamp set. I then glittered the leaves and lastly added flowers from the shades of chocolate mini medley collection.
