{ It Seems Only Fitting... }

To Wish You a Happy Halloween!

I was inspired by ==> THIS <== faboo Card by Timm on the old Cricut message board.  Timm used the French Manor (FM) cart, which is exclusive to Cricut Circle members.  Since I am not a Circle member, I decided to create my own fashionable Witch using the Forever Young (FY) cart.  Behold:



Unfortunately, the pic doesn't do it justice (insert pouty face here)..it's more striking in real life.

As I said, the dress form is from the FY cart, and the top layer is embossed with the Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirls embossing folder.  The witch hat and the cat are from the new Happy Hauntings (HH) cart (which I heart) and I messily inked both of them with bronze ink.  Yes, I hand-tied the bow on the cat...it's the best bow I have ever tied (beaming).

The patterned paper is from My Minds Eye's Lost and Found Collection.  If you have not seen this collection yet, RUN, do not walk, to the nearest store.  They hit the ball out of the park with this collection, in my opinion.

I mentioned the old Cricut message board (MB).  Provo Craft opened a new Cricut MB on October 1st.  HERE is the link.  The old MB is still available to browse, but it is "read only".  I am delighted to report that the new MB is faster than the old one. They have added some new features and I think people will like it once they get used to it.  I rely heavily on the MB for inspiration and information.  I can NOT recommend it highly enough!

Thanks for stopping by!
