FRIGHTFUL FRIDAY!!
A little Frightful Friday!!! I realized I haven’t posted all week - well almost two for that matter. I really thought once school started for Carly and Scott returned home from his work on the road for five weeks things would settle down. Ummm no, they really expect dinner and unfortunately grilled cheese sandwiches or French dips with deli sliced roast beef every night doesn’t cut it. We’ve also been working on building a storage shed on the back lot, re-staining the deck, emptying our rented storage unit, organizing the garage (I’ve never been able to park my car in this double car garage), and prepping for Winter - I know it is still a few months away - but the months just seem to fly by.
The other FRIGHT is this cute little die cut “Coffin Box” and “Spooky Spiders” from Creative Cuts & More. Take a look-see…
Sample Details: Coffin Box is die cut using “Flirty” Bazzill Bling paper (Creative Cuts & More). Before assembly of the box, I ran it through my Big Shot with my new “Spider Web” Cuttlebug embossing folder (Provo Craft), then lightly direct-to-paper used some “Charcoal” Fluid Chalk ink to really bring out the embossing and distress the edges. After assembly of the box using redline tape to hold the seams together, I strategically placed my Tacky Tape (double-sided tape) spiders and sprinkled them “Beetle Black” Doodlebug Glitter. Well, that’s spooky enough for today - should have a couple more Halloween projects in the next few days.
Don’t forget about Jacksonbelle Embellishments - Inkadinkado Card Contest -details and this week’s card sketch are here. Enjoy and Create, Lila

This is so fun! I made one of these one year for my son’s class. Had to cut out 27 of them by hand, embossed them folded them, and then my son changed his mind and didn’t want to take them to school. I ended up giving them to the neighbor kid to use for school threats. Your by the way is much cuter than mine was! Thanks for the link to the die cut cuz that would be so much easier! Great job on the challenge.
