You've Been Boo'd








 Hi Everybody! I was so excited when I went to the post office last night and my goodies were in from MTME. I made supper, did some dishes and quickly got started. I have been following Lauren and her DT this week with their fantastic ideas on all her new templates, paper and stamps. I am getting really excited and nervous for my turn to be a Guest Designer for MTME next month.. As soon as I seen the new template In Suspence I had to make one. I did a bit of alteration with the front and made a pumpkin face that I sparkled with some orange sticklers. I thought It would a great night light after the candy was gone. So in the template I will be sending  batterie operated candle.. For my card I knew I wanted to use those CUTE witch boots as my main image with a sentiment that went perfect." Trick or Treat smell my Feet" lol ... I use some the of digital paper that Lauren has to offer and also made my own DP with combining some small stamps of the Spooky Surprise set. I used Versa Mark and green embossing powder to make them stand out.. Well that is it for me today.I hope you enjoyed my project. I have to go and rake a bazillion leaves on my acreage :).. Thank you for joining me today. And hey if you leave a comment let me know what you think of my new blog look I like to call home :)..Monique..
