And So It Begins......


Some of you may not know this about me.  My name is Boo.  I'm not sure if I say that in my introduction or not. My older brother nick named me that as a baby so I don't remember being called anything else.  

The other thing you probably don't know about me is that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE making Halloween cards.  I don't know if I like Halloween so much because of my name or because there is something about orange, black, yellow, green and purple together that just makes me want to sigh. I don't do scary Halloween... just fun, full of smiles and laughter Halloween.  No skulls or rats for me.  That's too creepy for this girl.  I thought I should warn all of you who are so loyal to my blog.. there are a lot of Halloween cards in this blog's near future.Hopefully a few journal pages will still be made.... we shall see.

I got the idea for this card from my friend, Pam, who made me a pop up birthday card.  It had a darling flower garden that popped up in that card. I've been contemplating that card since June and yesterday I realized I just had to use that idea for my Halloween fun. I went on line looking for a tutorial and found one made by Paige at Stampologist.com.  Thank you, Pam and Paige.

All the stamps used are dollar stamps from Walmart, Michaels or JoAnn's that I've had for a least a year or more.   The inside paper is actually some I took out of the recycle bin. It had printing on the other side so I used a piece of pattern paper to cover the print. My acetate pieces are recycled from some packaging I had.  No 2013 earned money was spent to make this card.  Yeah! I used some things from my stash.  Only 2 million items left to use.  

Do you like Halloween?  What is your favorite holiday???
