Here is my CANDY-licious project...

While I was making this tag I was reminded of all the fun times my sistar and I had on Halloween.  We loved to dress up.  Usually we were 'Hobos.'  We would rummage through our father's old suit coats, then add some fabric patches with gaudy stitching (to be removed later), smudge up our faces and draw exagerated features, then it was off to the streets.  When we were pretty young my mother had gotten us matching Peter Pan pajamas.  These doubled as our Halloween costumes.  When I got older my hubby and I dressed up as a dog and a cat, respectively.  We called ourselves the 'Party Animals.'  Our costumes were complete with streamers, party horn, hat and noise maker.  We won the costume contest that year.  If you are dressing up this year I hope you have a great time.

Tag Size:  4.5"

Tag:  ELEGANT EDGES, pg 46, Heart2-s, cut @ 4.5" using Oblong and Shadow features.

The question this week is:  Are you afraid of the dark?  Yes and No!  I am not afraid of the dark when inside the house ... except during nighttime storms.  However, I am frightened in the dark when outside by myself.  We have all sorts of critters (skunks, possums, coyotes, bats) that lurk in the dark.  During the summer we have a bullfrog that loves to lounge in our pond.  And then there are the snakes during the summer.  I am terribly frightened of snakes.  I won't even go in that part of the pet store and avoid any TV show/Movie that even features a snake.  And no, I DID NOT go see 'Snakes on a Plane!!!'  When DH was on the road all the time, I was a bit more jumpy than I am now.  But let's not dwell on that.  It is time for a new project ... so with out further ado, here is my project!

Isn't he cute?  This is 'Morp' from BUMP IN THE NIGHT (Lite).  I think he looks like a 'Boo-berry'.

Here are the details of my project.

Tag:  ELEGANT EDGES, pg 46, Heart2-s, cut @ 4.5" using Oblong and Shadow features.

Speech Bubble:  3 BIRDS ON PARADE, pg 39, 'Ghost' Layer 2, cut @ 3.5"

Boo:  3 BIRDS ON PARADE, pg 39, 'Ghost' Layer 2-s, cut @ 3.8"

Cardstock:  The Paper Company (White)

Patterned Cardstock:  Cloud 9 Designs (Harvest Holiday 2 - Boo)
