Happy Halloween!

In honor of the day, I've made a couple Halloween cards with the Union Square kit from Noel Mignon.

It's not a Halloween kit per say.

BUT there are a couple stickers in there and some fun patterned papers that make it work!

Who says Halloween has to be just orange, black, and purple anyway??!

Don't you just love the sparkle that these Thickers have?!

One more!

I did throw a little orange on this one just for fun!

:)

What am I going to do if this twine trend ever dies??!

Thanks for stopping by today!

And I hope your Halloween is fun and a little bit spooky too!

BOO!!

Did "eye" scare you??!
:)
Just wanted to wish you a very happy Halloween!

I made both this tag and card with scraps of paper from the Study Hall kit from Noel Mignon and characters from the "Too Cute to Spook" line from Bella Blvd.

Have a great day!!
Be safe!
And don't eat all your candy at once!

BOO!!

I've been doing a little Halloween decorating around the house and at work!

I was totally inspired by these fabulous little flags that Kerry Lynn made and I decided to make some similar stuff.

I combined some of KI's Wicked line with the new Over the Rainbow collection to make these picks.

I am going to add these into some vases at home and work.

However, I am pretty sure this one is going to go in the pen jar where my patients have to sign in before each therapy visit!

{insert evil laugh here}

Be afraid! Be very afraid!
:)

Well happy Monday folks!
