Too Cute to Spook Blog hop post for the scrapbook stamp society



Morning all - or have you not gone to bed yet? I will have done by the time this post comes out! So its the 3rd August and that means its too cute to spook hop time at the scrapbook stamp society. There are 10 of us taking part - all using different images along the Halloween theme. My image is a cutey pie called Kitty Boo - she's by Heather Valentin and you can get her here.




So little Boo is carrying bestfriend Kitty around with her on her trick or treating mission! She's definitely too cute to spook me!
And so to my recipe: I've printed the scrapbook stamp society image out onto neenah crest card and coloured her with promarkers then cut her out. I've made up a folded tent card from a piece of 14 x 14 centura pearl card cut down to normal A5 landscape width and used a scoreboard to make the folds. The background and street foreground came free in this months papercraft inspirations - I've just kept it flat and then darkened it up with DI Black soot. I've made the bunting from some old orange paper and handwritten letters on each piece - and finally I've used some forgotten stash - my stampin' up pumpkins - and added them to foreground and background (stamped in DI Spiced marmalade - faces in archival black).

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Crafters Companionccmonthlychallenge: Best Friends
waste-not-wednesdays-wk28: Use up something old
Bearly Minebearlymine-challenges: Anything goes

Thankyou for joining me on this hop and thanks for hopping - the final stop on the hop is next so hop on over to Kenzie and she what delights she has got to share with you!

    1. I've just stamped them with the DI - but the stamps were a bit dirty - and it gave a mottled look that I actually liked so I kept them! xx
