Boo Kitty Mini Album

No one does Halloween like Doodlebug Designs!  The very first Doodlebug piece that I purchased (back in 2003) was a sheet of ghost stickers...I've been a fan ever since :)
Today I have a chipboard "Black Cat Mini Album" to share using the
new "Ghouls & Goodies" Collection.

I found the  precut chipboard album at Michael's...I loved the fact that the pattern was so easy to trace around and quick to cut out.

For the eyes I used the "O" letter stickers from the brand new "Chippers"
chipboard alphas.  The centers of the eyes are just punched paper and adhesive 
glittered Sprinkles.  The whiskers are two black Pixie Sticks that I cut down
and then hand-stitched onto the paper!  Just thread the sticks like a bugal bead and 
your good to go!



I used the 6X6 Ghouls & Goodies paper pad to die-cut the mats from
on all of the inner pages.  



Basic supplies like Teensy Type stickers, brads, twine and buttons
will always compliment any of your Doodlebug projects!



After you have all of your inner pages decorated, think about adding some twine around the edge of the pages.  It hides the not-so-pretty hand-cut paper edges, as well as the gray chipboard.  Just use a fine-point glue pen and really press the twine down into the glue...such a nice, finished look!

 Thanks for letting me share with you today!

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
 

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.

Happy weekend!
