Some are still without power and many of us without gas the lines are forever long at the stations that get deliveries. But we are all here to complain about it and that is the great part. Thanks to all my cyber friends for all the prayers sent our way.

Witch's boot

Good morning all.
Oh I can see me having so much fun making these boots in all different papers and for all kinds of occasions.
I used black card stock from DCWV for this boot and a 1 x 12 inch scrap scored at 1/4 inch and folded into a rosette to add to the toe of the boot. then I added some self sticking pearls in a few places. the file that you can purchase here http://www.creativekuts2.com/item_136/Witchs-Boot.htm comes with a buckle not the rosette. I still have to decide what I want to put into my boot but for now I think she looks pretty sitting on my windowsill !!

Thanks for stopping by Have a wonderful day.

Halloween treat card

I used double sided specialty paper from K & Company to make up this card. The cutting file can be purchased at Creativekuts2.com . here is the link. http://www.creativekuts2.com/item_61/Mint-Box-Card.htm. This is a great card to have in your stash I have used the file to make a graduation card and put money in the box, in the store it is shown as a birthday card and now I have created a Halloween card with it!! Hope you can return on Saturday for our Halloween blog hop.

Holiday organizer

I have been seeing lots of holiday organizers on pintrest and blogs but none with directions so I decided to make my own. this is what I came up with and I think it will work fine for my needs.
I like to keep a list of gifts I buy because I have a habit of starting early and then hiding the gifts until Christmas. the problem is I most always forget where I hid a few of them and find them after Christmas has come and gone. So with my new organizer I think I will also note where I have hidden the gift. It might help!!
My organizer is very simple and does not have any additional decorations on the front just the beautiful card I used because this is going to be in my purse and I don't want it getting stuck on anything so I just used a ribbon to tie it closed. How did I make it??
Easy 1 piece of 12 x 12 card stock scored at 3, 6 & 9 inches then I turned it a quarter turn and scored at 4 inches. Fold the 4 inch piece up and accordion fold on the other score lines add some ribbon under the fold at the edges and glue in place when you glue the edges closed. I printed out some lined card stock and cut it into 2 inch strips to fit into the pockets. I printed some titles and punched them out with an oval punch glued them on and I am ready to go!!

thanks for stopping by. Please come back on Sept. 29 & 30 for Creative Kuts Halloween blog hop for some fun Halloween projects and inspiration.
