I just love this stamp set Batty for You. I keep buying Halloween stamps but this set is and will always be one of my very fav's for making altered gifties. I made these Bookmarks for some easy Boo Bucket filler for Friends, Family, and Teacher gifts this year. I know it's only Aug but I'm telling ya' I've been bit by the Halloween bug it's all I want to do! I would normally use the Jumbo Huge clips but I didn't have any on hand and I'm trying to use up some of the mass amounts of supplies I have on hand. It's doing good things for my pocket book to! I may still add some tiny google eyes if I can remember to pick some up when I'm out and about.

Supplies

Large Paper Clips, SU CS and Ink in Perfect Plum, Rose Red, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango, Basic Black. Ribbon from the Offray Ribbon outlet (love this place), Stazon Black ink, Red liner tape and round dimensional boosters from http://confessionsofaribbonaddict.blogspot.com/2008/10/october-sticky-sale.html She really has great prices on her sticky stuff it's really good quality to just love my sticky stuff.

Hope all of you are stampin' the day away!

Haunted Castle Book

Front of book Pic will go in front window.

Love this ghost brad he looks like he is bustin' a move!

This is a Haunted House story found on the net, printed and cut to size.

Back page another pic will go here.

Short Halloween poem from the net. More spaces for pics.

Should have stamped off twice but I'm to lazy to redo it. It's readable in person.

Story

Second half of story.

Hello Everyone!

I think I was bit by the Halloween bug.....All I've wanted to do lately is work on Halloween stuff. I wish I could take credit for this idea but it's not mine. I saw this Castle board book done up as a Halloween Castle at a Scrapbook store in Hagerstown MD. It was just the cutest thing. I didn't take any pics of it and I have been kicking my self in the rear over it. But alas I made my own it came out pretty good. I still have blank pages waiting for Halloween Pics this year. I wanted to go ahead and share before Halloween comes to pass. This was a time suck let me tell ya! Several hours has gone into this book. I do like it and it wasn't hard just lots of cutting.

To create this I used...

BoBunny Paper, Black CS, Kraft CS, Crushed Curry CS, Chipboard, Prima flowers, Around the block Halloween brads, Offray ribbon outlet ribbon, Black craft paint, Black Craft ink, Clear embossing powder, Nestabilities circles, Recollections Bat stamp, Inkadinkado Creepy Crawly stamp set, Red line sticky tape, Mod podge. Ok I think that's it....

Ok why are you still reading this go stamp something! lol

Altered Fun!

This gift set is for a friend's little girl.

As a back to school gift.

This letter I found on the clearance isle at M's it said

.89 on it but when I got to the register it rang up at .01

not to bad at all! I do love finding good deals even if it

did take me a year to finally get around to doing something

with it. Oh well it was worth the wait. I used BG, DP to cover it and ribbon I found here and there at the ribbon outlet. It's now a personalized hair bow holder. I made a couple little hair bows to add to her collection. The tin was a RAK from Tracy. Thank you Tracy.

Hope everyone has a great week!
