Boo Kitty!

I say this every year at this time, but I'm a Halloween fanatic!

I've always, always loved Halloween, but it seems that the older I get the

more that I love it.  The papercrafting industry comes up with the cutest 

Halloween themes year-after-year and that definitely keeps my interest ginning :)

The "Frankie & Friends" Collection by 

SIMPLE STORIES

is a mix of fun colors, whimsical patterns and adorable characters...

look at Frankie...isn't he a doll?!?!?

For my project this month I really wanted to use the collection in a fun way, so

I headed to Pinterest for some ideas.  I had this cat's head treat holder pinned

from Parent's magazine website:

 

And here is my take on it using patterned paper & embellishments from the

"Frankie & Friends" Collection:

There are sooo many fun ways that you can dress up the face....

cute & funny or very minimalistic with just eyes and a nose :)

And if you have an extra-special trick-or-treater (or two) on your list,

think of whipping up one of these and filling with all sorts of homemade/bought treats.

The cat that I've made uses an entire sheet of 12X12 (modified) paper, but 

you can make smaller versions and leave off the hanger.
