Flying by to say Thank you

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are all doing well. I'm just popping in to share a card I made for the My Creative Time - Pinterest Inspired Challenge & 3 Girl Jam Butterflies and bows Challenge. Hope you have a GREAT day!

 So I came across this pretty card HERE and fell in love with the idea of the words across the butterfly, and then I stumbled on this beauty HERE and just had to use these colors. 

Sorry about this photo, the top photo is a truer version of the card

So I started by cutting out the butterflies using the Cricut Indie Art and stamped them with MCT Script Type Backgrounds Stamp Set. 

Added some gorgeous ribbon from 3 girl Jam - Mistletoe and finished it off with lots of Tim Holtz ink and some pretty pearls.

Card -4.25" x 5.5"

Paper - My minds Eye & DCWV

Boo! "You've been Booed"

Hi Everyone!
I'm stopping in to share a cute little project. Have you heard of "You've been Booed" well if you have then you know it's a fun little game you play near Halloween. You secretly leave some treats on your neighbors doorstep and leave a little note letting them know they've been booed. It's a FUN game the kids look forward to during the fall. Typically, you pick one or two neighbors and then they pick one or two and so on..... But last year I noticed that a few were missed, so this year I thought I would still do a fun basket or two but I also thought I would make a few more simple treats for some of the older neighbors that love all our kids so much!

 It's a fun little door hanger. I haven't purchased the Art Philosophy cartridge but I did get the idea from the cartridge.

For the Door Hanger I used my gypsy and the Cricut Cartridges Tie the knot, George & Wild Card

The "Boo" is from the Cricut Cartridge Robotz & the ghost is from Mini Monster

 Door Hanger approx. 6" x 3

Paper - DCWV

Stamps - Eyes are from PK-692 Monster Mash Face Assortment 

& the mouth is from PK-532 PK-532 Simple Sallies 1 1/8"

Ink - Tim Holtz

Machine Stitched

Challenges:
Die cuttin divas - Color Challenge (Use yellow, orange, grey and purple)
Little Scrap Pieces - Stitch it (real or faux)
