A little bit from Halloween

Whilst we don't celebrate Halloween in a big way over here all the kids love to dress up and go trick or treating.

Each year my Granddaughter and her friend come a knocking on my door and as they are "special" they get an extra special treat bag. This year Star's friends little sister was able to join in so of course I had to make a special treat bag for her too. 

Bo Bunny have released some cute Kraft bags, so I decorated one of the chevron ones and I think it looks rather cute

 

For the older 2 girls I decorated some plain Kraft bags that I bought at the £1 shop

I used almost the same design for these and I like the look of them too

 

For the other trick or treaters there was this basket of candy complete with eyeball lollipops

 

I don't usually dress up for the occasion but Star had got ready at my house and she had a little of the white face paint left, so I got creative in the few minutes I had and I looked like this when she knocked on the door

 

She told her Mum the next day that Nanny had made her night by dressing up, awww she is such a sweetie 

Sorry for the long post, hope you all had a great Halloween

Bo Bunny Misc Me

I'm up on the Bo Bunny blog with my Misc Me project
Misc Me by Tracee Provis

 I am so excited today to share with you all my Misc Me pages using the fun Zip Dee Doodle collection. My book is based on "Me" and all the things that I love and enjoy. This is the first page of my book, it gives a simple message "It's amazing what we can acheive when we simply Believe" There are some great patterns already on the note paper, so by just adding a couple more of the pieces  you have a page that looks fab.

 

I used one of the Calendar dividers to make an interactive page to fit more pictures into my book. I fussy cut the tags from the notepaper and used it as an embellishment on the recipe card.

 

I had such fun plying with all the many elements that come in this collection and I can't wait to add some more pages to my book.

Document an old memory

I tucked my journaling on the tag to the left of the picture 

These Blue fluffy slippers were old fashioned even when you wore them over 20 years ago Danielle, but they were your special slippers that you wore at Nanny's when you went to stay for the weekend. You had to wear them right up until you could no longer fit them on your feet and at that point "dolly" had to have them on. Cute little slippers for a cute little girl.

There are some fab prizes to be won this month over at CSI & the more cases you solve the more chances you have of winning. So head on over for some fun detective work

Bo Bunny halloween mailbox

I was up on the BoBunny blog with a new project.
 Halloween is such a fun holiday, and the Fright Night collection captures that element perfectly.
I was eager to use it to create something fun to represent the holiday theme, but what to create? I have had the mailbox idea for a while, and by fussy cutting some of the elements from the patterned paper, I knew they would be just right for this mini project.

First of all, I wanted to create a base for my mailbox to sit on, so I layered up some corrugated cardboard and covered it with the Double Dot Chocolate Stripe paper which has a sort of a wood grain effect. I carefully cut the "Boo" banner from the spooky paper and attached it to 2 wooden skewers to hang across the back of the base.

The actual mailbox is cut from Double Dot Shadow Vintage, which is a great quality textured cardstock, both strong and pliable, perfect for mini projects such as these.
Underneath the mailbox is a graveyard, complete with pumpkins gravestones and ghosts. I used a leaf punch to create the grass, and I fussy cut the skeleton and layered it behind the EEK cardstock sticker, which folds down when the box is open.

I used one of the brads from the collection attached some spiders with cotton thread for you to pull open the lid and reveal the haunted village inside.

 

There are so many great elements to this collection, the possibilities are endless, and I had to stop myself from adding more and more!

Hope you enjoyed looking at my Halloween Mailbox. It was ultra fun to create and of course made easy by using Bo Bunny products.

Supply List

Scrap Africa

Whilst I was away I was looking for a challenge to play along with

Scrap Africa had this great sketch (of course I changed it up a bit!)

I wanted to make a layout using just the scraps I had accumulated on this holiday and so this layout was born.

This was the sketch (I turned it on its side)

 

Of course I finished it late at night and now it's back to the type of weather that makes photographing my work nigh on impossible, reminds that I must try and work something out for this winter (any tips would be very helpful)
