Advanced photo of Halloween costume

Because I'm the Grammy!

....And didn't that work out nicely.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT'S NOVEMBER ALREADY!!!

SHEESH!

My pal Holli die cut this 12x12 scalloped page

and I love it.

I got carried away with the sewing mostly because

had I left it with one stitch line around it would've looked well dumb

because I really don't sew well. You would so not realize

from looking at my pages that I actually made

really really cool clothes back in the day.

And so the lines around were really really ugly.

This way it shows I meant to do that. 

LOL.

Love it when a plan comes through.

 A little cluster of pumpkins and a fussy cut black cat. 

What's Halloween without a black cat.
oooo ooo and a stamped handmade "boo."

 I love this title and had some leftover spider web so after stamping
and fussy cutting that spider in the web I added

Amelia's name on it.

I thought that was cool.

 Love the little Frankenstein dude peeking out in the upper right.

Amelia is the cutest pirate - I love the parrot, I'd need a
parrot but I think birds are kind of freaky.
Cool, seriously but freaky.

I really love doing die cut shapes and 

I think I have more of them - Holli got quite

carried away with the old die cutter when I was over there
and she has dies that OMG makes me green with envy.

Now if I can only remember where I put them.

Sigh.

Echo park.

Except for black cat and spider - no clue.

Cutting background paper

Can be a tricky thing.

For instance, that compass you can barely see was

painstakingly measured and cut so that it would be a prominent

feature on this 8x8 page.

You can see how well that worked out.

However, I'm not going to stress out about it

because - well the page actually worked out without it.

Shocking.

This is very old Creative Imaginations pirate paper.

Had to dig for it.

"Twas worth the effort because don't those two cutie pies

look like pirates which I'm not sure was intentional.

Some old Tim Holtz grungeboard - sadly I used up all but one

skull and crossbones and that on remaining one

was way too big for the page which is okay

because I am already obvious enough.

Thickers and an anchor exuberantly punched by my friend Holli

finish the whole pirate/boat/yo ho thing.
